I'm workin on something I havnt worked on in like 2 months, unless the file is currupt or flash player has changed sence then. As far as I can remeber, it used to work, and now it doesn't.
Originally it was this before I looked at the first page of this tutorail ( this didnt work either and it contains alot of extra stuff I dont know why I put it there)
LOAD:
on (press) {
game = SharedObject.getLocal("mydata");
if (game.data.name == undefined) {
_root.hp = 50;
_root.hp2 = 50;
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
attack = game.data.attack;
hp = game.data.hp;
mp = game.data.mp;
hp2 = game.data.hp2;
mp2 = game.data.mp2;
defence = game.data.defence;
lvl = game.data.lvl;
nextlvl = game.data.nextlvl;
magic = game.data.magic;
exp = game.data.exp;
_root.attack = attack;
_root.lvl = lvl;
_root.nextlvl = nextlvl;
_root.hp = hp;
_root.mp2 = mp2;
_root.mp = mp;
_root.hp2 = hp2;
_root.defence = defence;
_root.magic = magic;
_root.exp = exp;
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
SAVE:
on (press) {
game = SharedObject.getLocal("mydata");
attack = _root.attack;
lvl = _root.lvl;
nextlvl = _root.nextlvl;
defence = _root.defence;
magic = _root.magic;
exp = _root.exp;
hp = _root.hp;
hp2 = _root.hp2;
mp2 = _root.mp2;
mp = _root.mp;
game.data.hp = hp;
game.data.hp2 = hp2;
game.data.mp = mp;
game.data.mp2 = mp2;
game.data.attack = attack;
game.data.defence = defence;
game.data.lvl = lvl;
game.data.nextlvl = nextlvl;
game.data.magic = magic;
game.data.exp = exp;
game.flush();
}

this is a really good post on saving/loading, I don't understand your specific problem but I hope you find your answer there.
Thanks alot, I got it working =D

Theres lots of games on this site that you can save you stats on so someone must know how.

Well instead of being an ass you could at least try helping people. Im having a problem and I'm asking for help. Who did I treat like an idiot? I answered the questions people asked about the problem I was having, your just being an ass. I don't want this to become a big flame war, so just leave the post if you dont have anyway to fix the code or offer me some solution to the problem.
Yes, but the code wont work at all. When I save online then I try to load it online it doesnt work.

I need to save variables for the RPG I'm currently working on. Right now I have this on the save button:
on (press) {
game = SharedObject.getLocal("mydata");
attack = _root.attack;
lvl = _root.lvl;
nextlvl = _root.nextlvl;
defence = _root.defence;
magic = _root.magic;
exp = _root.exp;
hp = _root.hp;
hp2 = _root.hp2;
mp2 = _root.mp2;
mp = _root.mp;
game.data.hp = hp;
game.data.hp2 = hp2;
game.data.mp = mp;
game.data.mp2 = mp2;
game.data.attack = attack;
game.data.defence = defence;
game.data.lvl = lvl;
game.data.nextlvl = nextlvl;
game.data.magic = magic;
game.data.exp = exp;
game.flush();
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}
This on the load button:
on (press) {
game = SharedObject.getLocal("mydata");
if (game.data.name == undefined) {
_root.hp = 50;
_root.hp2 = 50;
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
} else {
attack = game.data.attack;
hp = game.data.hp;
mp = game.data.mp;
hp2 = game.data.hp2;
mp2 = game.data.mp2;
defence = game.data.defence;
lvl = game.data.lvl;
nextlvl = game.data.nextlvl;
magic = game.data.magic;
exp = game.data.exp;
_root.attack = attack;
_root.lvl = lvl;
_root.nextlvl = nextlvl;
_root.hp = hp;
_root.mp2 = mp2;
_root.mp = mp;
_root.hp2 = hp2;
_root.defence = defence;
_root.magic = magic;
_root.exp = exp;
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
~Thanks for any help.
Shitty backround/aura, yes ino. Hope it turns out ok.
I only asked because at first glance it appears as if Glaiel_Gamer's example used alpha tween on the fireworks particles. As it turns out the particles just shrink. But that's no excuse to embarrass me in front of my fellow newgrounders.At 3/16/05 12:58 AM, Kitaiko wrote:
Sorry for embarrassing you =P

The best way to fix hitting with the helicopters:
1: Make 2 black box movieclips in the helicopter MC.
2: Each one MUST have the following code:
onClipEvent(load){
_visible = false
}
3: Name 1 "bulletHit"
4: Name the other "shipHit"
5: Stretch them out as needed
6: Test hitting against the boxes instead of the actual copter.
I am doing this a lot in egg hunter. The egg has at least 4 boxes for various reasons.
I think I got the hittest worked out. The thing with that would be, how would you write it? Wouldnt you have to put like laser.bullethit or ship.shipHit? Anyway my game seams to lag up really fast. I took the backround out and it ddint lag up as fast but gradually it did.

There is a bug in the game tho that I cant find out how to fix. It just happens randomly, the enemies will sometimes freeze and wont take hits =S anyway, I'll reduce the damage to 25 so it'll be easier to kill them and the walls are the collsision places, its not the real backround.
MM, the lasers wont blow up the blue helicopters
The blue ones take 3 shots with a normal one and 1-2 shots with higher ones. I still need to fix mine up tho, its all bugged =(
I've gotten into some serious problems =(. I tried to fix the lag bug and the hittest but now the laser is all screwed up. Its still shooting it just turns invisable, everything is still blowing up tho. =S
Woops forgot the link =S. http://home.ripway.com/2004-5/113780/Chopper-Attack.swf Everytime I upload it on imageshack theres no music =P.

Read the first post it says "NO GRADIENTS OR ALPHA OR TWEENING BETWEEN 2 COLORS.".'
Anyway I'm still not sure why mine starts to lag up after a while. I put the old music back in and made them stop when they blow up.
Also whats the Overide Sound Setting option in the publish settings? It seems to greatly reduce the file and keeps the sound. I had the file go from 1.500kb to like 16kb (I had a long song in).

Fun, the first bomb doesn't originate from the plane
Sometimes you die even if you don't hit a plane (can be fixed easily)
Bullets miss the copters sometimes
See the other problems I posted earlier.
So I guess I should keep the old music, as for the other problems, I keep trying to make the hittest between the heli's and the bullets better but it still misses some. Not sure why the first bomb doesnt come from the plane, I will fix it soon. I made them stop now when they're hit. I've never died without being hit tho =S
At 3/15/05 03:47 PM, Glaiel_Gamer wrote: I liked the music in the other versions. (80 KB is good for a swf size, for the fla, "Save and Compress"
I added new music in, more power-ups and harder enemies. Now the .swf is 503kb and the .fla is 7,365kb. I dont have a save and compress option (using MX not 2004). Anyway heres what I'm at so far. ~Chopper Attack~
Btw, what is everyone else working on, so far I've seen 2 other games, is there only 2 other people in this?
I've done alot of updates to the backround. Theres now a dock, an army base, a bridge, roads. The water now has moving waves and sparkles. Right now you can get laser powerups at a 1 in 25 chance, planning to add bombs in 1/50 and lives in 1/100. Should I lower/raise any of these? ~-Game-

Yea I just threw that backround in when I started, I plan on making it better, maybe a couple things that blow up if you shoot them on the ground. Im trying to for the histtest between the heli's and the laser but it still misses some shots =S

Alright, dont turn this into a flame war.
I've done some updates:
Bombs work
Lives
Power bar (when you shoot it goes down and if you have none left you cant shoot)
You can lose
Thats about it atm, I'm gunna work on extra lives, extra bombs, maybe harder choppers and bosses.
Yea its a 24fps
I started on my new game , there are still some bugs Im trying to work out. The bombs aren't working, you can't lose and for some reason it gets really laggy after about 1 or 2 mins. I;m not sure why, I have it to remove all the mc's onces they leave the screen. =S. Anyway, I still need to improve the gfx and add levels in.
