Hmm for some reason I want to vote 5 on all strawberryclock flash movies...

If you want to delete it after an animation check its currentframe property against its totalframes property(at least that's what I think they're named in AS3. I'm not sure since I still use AS2). If you want to get rid of it at an arbitrary frame then just check currentframe against that. If you want it to be at a given time (rather than frame) then use getTimer().

Blocks/Attacks shouldn't work on enemies that are behind you and the filter on the blood image that appears when you get hit causes major lag. Get rid of it.

Wait, I'm a dumbass. Those all still use the control key. At least in older versions, many shortcuts including undo need to use either the control key in their shortcut, or a non-alphanumeric key. setting the shortcut to \ should work.

Actually, I realized you can go to Drawing Menu Commands and change the shortcut for Undo itself. The "Remove Transform" command is linked to ctrl+shift+z, but you could change that to another shortcut or to nothing. Or you could change undo to ctrl+alt+z (or a million other things)

Go to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts, create a new set of shortcuts then select "Drawing Tools" in the Commands box. See if the Hand Toolshortcut is set to" control" (In the version I'm using, nothing can be set to just "control" but that may have changed). If it is change it. If not, set the shortcuts for the tools you use most to something convenient, so you can switch back after control+Z .

It's a bit hard to tell without seeing more information. Can you post the code that controls the player animations or, if you're using an old enough version of flash, send me a copy of the .fla in MX 2004 format?

try putting

_y = _root.ground._y

after

touchingGround = true;

Just a thought: If you have the time, add a text box that monitors the framerate.

Using well animated sticks and special effects can make it look nice and still have good running performance with so much action happening. I did this with StreetFighter/anime graphics and it ran into the ground. And yes, Electricman was an inspiration XD

Those special effects are the reason for the bad performance. For a game with this level of gore (or any game really) you should be using blood drawn with vectors, with no effects. With the blood that's in the game now, I get lag with as few as three enemies, because of the amount of processing required for the effects (this is also a low-end computer, but so are many of the computers it will be played on). If you need reference for drawing good looking vector blood, there are plenty of games that have it, and you could probably ask around the art forum, too. If you need convincing for the speed difference, look at Portal Defenders. The blood in that game only disappears after the clean-up minigame, but after two waves of enemies, it still runs at full speed.

People overlook how slow filters can be. When Pwong first came out, it was completely unplayable for me, even though it's a pong game, because the filters were so intense. At some point the author realized "HOLY SHIT THESE FILTERS ARE WAY TOO INTENSE" and toned them down, then the framerates went up. but it's still not optimal.

Feel free to keep the filters wherever you use them in the menus/preloader/game over screens, though, because there the impact is less noticeable and also less important.

Other than that it looks like a decent engine. Not terribly interesting to me, but it isn't my favorite type of game to begin with.

This means you're: Lying.

Actually the only 7th generation console I like is the Wii. I mainly use a Windows PC. I don't have anything against Microsoft's gaming division, but I don't see any purpose in getting a 360.

Look for one of Compaq's most expensive desktops. (Expensive usually a good graphics card). If it's valuable enough that they give you a brushed steel case with it, you're good.
(Compaq is owned by Hewlett Picard, which means that you can get their warranties, software and other stuff without a tower that screams "FFFAAAAAGGGGGGG")

I blame it on the media. They need to write and publish articles showing that video games and rap, etc. are harmless, so that the parents don't have any scapegoat, and are forced to learn to be parents.

It's probably considered nerdy because a large percentage of its fan base would set themselves on fire to protect Leonard Nimoy's hair. I haven't watched it much, but I don't feel either way for it. its 40 years old and the convention brings in 200k people a year, now THAT's what I call a fanbase.

Wut?

Well, I'm vegetarian, but I don't give a tinker's curse about what you yourself eat. I just prefer to eat stuff that didn't have parents. Is that a crime?

Also, many of the nutrients you mentioned can be found in plants *cough* *tofu* *tastes bad* *cough*
If you have something to say to me, PM me, because my attention span is too short to remember making this post.

A couple things. First, Warhammer, you do know that its Jewel-ry not Jew-elry, right? Just checking. Scard4life: How are you Scarred for life when you don't have one to begin with? I don't care if you like G(reend)ay, but you whine about 13 year old when you have the apparent mindset of a zombie toad. That is called the pot calling the spotless cow black. Also, to whoever said Yamaka, I think its spelled Yamacha, but I'm far from sure, so don't get angry if I'm wrong. Jews make Jewelry because its SHINAY!!!111qq and people will buy anything SHINAY!!!111qq for 30 times its normal price, and they probably figure that kind of money to be well worth the required training and dedication.

In conclusion, HAMSORFEWD!!!!11RoFILe3

SHE SAID NO MORE REQUESTS FOR NOW! NO MEANS NO! Really, you guys should read entire posts next time.

1. Thanks.
2. Wow, three pages... And you're not even done yet.

Sarai, do you plan on doing mine at some point? I understand if you don't, I don't exactly have a long post history. I just want to know so I can stop checking this thread if you don't plan on it.

They're so good they can make you forgive someone for repeatedly saying cadny or even cadnay instead of candy. Nuts? Tasty? What kind of world do we live in?

More importantly, how do you guys have that many posts? It's just, scary. I guess it just takes a lot of time and whatnot....

Exactly. Whenever one is a moron, one of the intelligent ones fixes the problem. My only problem with any of them is that Ozcar gets a little too boastful sometimes (Then again, not many people have 30,000 posts...).

No. Reason. Just had to bring that up. Anyway, theres Roleplay Market. (a D&D site). There's also flash, the clock crew, and Maya 7 PLE (PLE=free version). There's also the fun of adding gibberish to the end of a valid post, jipsdlcov.

I can't believe you sir! How dare you insult an innocent golfball like that? A golfball is very smart. Can you know the most aerodynamic way to fly? Can you make old/fancy people angry just by getting hit with a metal pole? I think not. How dare you compare a golfball to such a total and complete moron as werewolf bite.

How ironic that he feels he has proof. Very many scientists believe in God, or some higher being.

I close with the following statement: LAWOWLX

Speaking of the missingno glitch,
My bro once caught a Cloister (or whatever)
that was like lvl 400 or something.
Went back to 100 when it leveled up, though.
