Oh, my God.

Thank you SO much! This is exactly what I needed, and it works PERFECTLY!!! I even learned a ton of new stuff to make my collisions even better.

Are you single? :DDDDDDDDD

I have this little game engine in the making where player 1 and player 2 are square movieclips that you can move around with the arrows and WASD. They have instance names P1 and P2. In each movieclip I have a few variable defined:

//this is the maximum speed. It stays the same.
speed = 10;
//this is how fast it accelerates. It stays the same.
accel = 1;
//str represents how strong the mc is, kind of like weight. This is what I wanna base the collisions off of. It stays the same.
str = 2;
//speeds in the x and y directions. Of course, they increase or decrease.
xvel = 0;
yvel = 0;

I've got the movement all finished, the bouncing off the walls all finished, and the momentum effect of movement (it slows down instead of stopping right away) all finished. The final thing I need is so that when P1 and P2 collide, their speeds and directions are changed accordingly. P1 has a str of 2 and P2 has an str of 4, so if P2 hits P1 at a high speed, P1 will go flying. To reference each var (like P1's str) you'd use:

_root.P1.str

I'll try and make my question nice and concise again: How do I make two squares bounce off each other and incorporate their speeds and weights correctly?

Thank you!

Yes , thanks! But do I have to put that on EVERY mc? I have a total of 24.

There's gotta be a way to do this with a for() loop because all of the mc's on Pallet1 are p1c1, p1c2, p1c3, etc, to p1c12. Could you attach onRelease functions using for() loops? Because it hasn't been working out for me...

At 11/12/08 04:20 PM, OctoFlash wrote: yeah you can also make it with the for but this is easier to understand..

The main problem with the for loop would be excluding the number of the button, like:

for (i=1; i<=12; i++) {
    _root.pallet1["p1c"+i].onEnterFrame = function() {
        if (_root.pallet2["p2c"+i]._currentframe == 1) {
            _root.pallet1["p1c"+i].onRelease = function() {
                _root.pallet1["p1c"+i].gotoAndStop(2)
                p1color = i
                for (a=1; a<i; i++) {
                    _root.pallet1["p1c"+a].gotoAndStop(1)
                }
                for (a=i+1; a<12; i++) {
                    _root.pallet1["p1c"+a].gotoAndStop(1)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

But it doesn't work!

on (release){
if (_root.pallet2.p2c5._currentframe == 1){
p1c1.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c2.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c3.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c4.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c6.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c7.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c8.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c9.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c10.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c11.gotoAndStop(1);
p1c12.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

is this what you need?

I need it for every button, p1c1 to p1c12. I was hoping I'd be able to use a for() loop or something. Eh, this will do just fine. Thanks!

But if anyone has a for loop way of doing this...

Alright, here's what I've been trying to do:

I have two pallets, each with 12 movieclips of two frames (1st frame is the button, second is a darker graphic indicating it has been selected). The ones on Pallet 1 are called p1c1, p1c2, to p1c12. On Pallet 2 they are called p2c1, p2c2, to p2c12.

I want it so when you click a button on Pallet 1, say p1c5, it sets a variable called p1color to that number (5 in this case) it becomes highlighted (aka goes to the second frame of the mc) AND makes any of the buttons on that pallet that were already highlighted become unhighlighted. So basically, I want it so you can only have one button highlighted at a time.

Finally, I've been trying to make it so if Pallet 1 has p1c5 highlighted, Pallet 2 CANNOT have p2c5 highlighted. For this I know I'll need to make it so that when you click the button it makes sure that the var p1color does not equal the number of the button on Pallet 2.

Thanks a lot if you can help, and I hope I was clear enough in my intentions. If further clarification is required, let me know. :D

Try opening the .7Z file. That's a zip file that contains the files you need.

I'm sure the OP implies that our brain could handle it.

Having eyes like that would be pretty useful as long as you can blink them all differently ::::-p

I spend a lot more time on the Interwob too.

The thread wasn't about the differences between geeks and nerds...

I think to be called a geek or a nerd (and actually be one) you need to be smart and spend at least 5 hours a week on the Internet. Yes, I am one.

I really think that we should rapidly pull our troops from Iraq, but no so quickly as to let anarchy come into play again.

It's all Bush's fault, he has us in a war for oil.

You're probably right, but we had to fight those baby-killing terrorists anyways. What's your opinion on abortion?

No... V = pi * r * r * h.
r=z
h=a

So V = pi*z*z*a
