don't you think you should post useful threads without making others work down?
i think (for the most people) it's hard enough to get a low score on flash submissions so it might be a little mean if we start saying which is the worst one and stuff... no offense to you but try to post helpful stuff... i'm gonna check out your tutorial

I want to make an adventure game engine. My reason for needing an artist is that since adventure games are very art oriented it seems dumb to try and write an engine without using realistic clips.

Anyways if anyone is interested let me know, as this could always turn into a full game provided the right story came along...

There is no money involved as of right now but you never know.
I realize there's tons of these posts all the time, but hopefully someone mature is interested. Please provide some art example

mullet139@hotmail.com, or just post on this thread.

Thanks

i would really like to do this but i'm taken for these kind of job.. sorry good luck with finding others but i don't think this is that hard..

okay. i didn't read all the posts because that would be way too much (and btw i have a headache) so i'm jst gonna say my idea even if it's said before:
what about some kind of trap (which is part of the turret) and if an enemy touches (or whatever) it then the turret takes the enemy and throws it (uses it as a shot, weapon.. whatever)
so the damage is different: a weak enemy (oh and the enemy-shots explode by hitting anything) makes a weak explosion.. and a strong enemy... you know...
like i said: i've got a headache so i'm gonna stop writing now. you guys know what i mean. :P

random: are you sure? on a lot of games falling has a completely different animation.

you're right, tommattox... for example a character with a cape: ever thought how ugly it would look if you take the same animation for jumping and falling? ^^

At 8/10/08 09:15 AM, tommattox wrote: "To the dude" I don't understand what you mean. You want the jumping animation to play when the character falls off the edge or what?

Octoflash: I don't mind I was just wondering if you wanted to do one thing and someone else to do another to relieve your workload.

no i don't need a second artist, thanks anyways? ;)

At 8/10/08 09:06 AM, iluvAS wrote: ok.. so how do i put that into actionscript?? use _xscale _yscale or smth??? i totally have no idea how to use maths in actionscript

put this on the character (as long as it is seen from above, else: please explain how this game is and probably give us a screenhot)

onClipEvent (load){
walkspeed = //any number
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame){

if (Key.isDown (Key.UP)){
_rotation = 0;
_y -= walkspeed
}

if (Key.isDown (Key.RIGHT)){
_rotation = 90;
_x += walkspeed
}

if (Key.isDown (Key.DOWN)){
_rotation = 180;
_y += walkspeed
}

if (Key.isDown (Key.LEFT)){
_rotation = -90;
_x -= walkspeed
}
}

i hope this is what you need

At 8/10/08 08:52 AM, tommattox wrote: Alright then :) would you like me to see if I can find someone else to do the level backgrounds or the animating or would you like to do both? Also the shooting in the air bug doesn't matter anymore as in the game you won't be able to go under the platforms (they will be connected to the floor as ledges or random rises.)

if you want you can look for someone else too but i really would like to make graphics so you decide if there is someone instead of me or if i am with someone...

At 8/10/08 08:54 AM, iluvAS wrote: does anyone know how to get a mc to rotate towards the direction they are moving towards..
the initial position is facing upwards, when right it is facing right and so on (rotate 60 degrees cw)?
please help!! T.T

no, 90 degrees. a circle has 360 deg.)
that means:
up = 0
right = 90
down = 180
left = 270 or -90 (flash works with 0-180 and then -180-0)

i hope this helped

Octo: Yeah I'm doing that now. Thats annoying that you can't work until the 28th but while I'm waiting I can continue with the engine and iron out a few bugs.

alright, cool. i will contact you when i'm back!

right, that's right, you should fix that and:

Just their highest score on a level and such so that when they come back to the game it still knows their highest score gotten and such. So I am not sure how to do this, I heard something about sharedobjects but not too sure. All I want to do is save like 5 different numbers to a computer and have the ability to check up on them. Where should I start? I use AS2 by the way.

try this

too complicated!! i dont understand anything in the second and the beginning of the first

what about trying my version?

use this code to play the sound of your choose

var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.attachSound(" idName ");
mySound.start([ 0 , 0 ])

in the start([ 0 , 0 ]) the first 0 means start playing at seconds 0 then the next 0 means loop zero times.

^^that's what i just wanted to write but since i'm here i can ask a second question.. if i use this (what u just explained) then the filesize get surprisingly big! does somebody know the reason?

I have recently created my first flash (yay). It's synced to music and runs smoothly and perfectly on my PC inside Flash BUT when I exported it as a movie the .fla file seems to lag quite considerably. Now I've seen this happen before on flashes, especially peoples first flash, so I'm hoping there's a way to fix this irritating problem. Please help. I must have a decent first flash!

~N-pie

maybe you have different sound elements in this flash?
that means:
one sound is "stream" the other one "start" and whatever.. this could be the problem.

In this game Im making, you can switch weapons. Im wondering if I could use variables for weapon switches because with some weapons. you can't crouch walk, and with others you can. So would that work? I mean, the using variables thing. Like, if a variable is equal to three then they cant crouch walk, and if the variable is equal to four i can? How could I do this? Once again Im a actionscript rookie, but I think I should go big or go home. Even though Im making the flash at home... Im going off track so, if anyone can answer the question, it would be nice. :D

of course this is possible.
i'm not sure if this will help you but:
(i took the word "weapon" for the variable)

if (weapon == 1 || weapon == 2){
//allow crouch
}

that means if the weapon variable is not 1 or 2 you can't crouch

how do i make a mc rotate when the space is pressed

what goes here?

how do i make the enter key not let someone skip frames or pause

thank you.

first:

if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
my_mc.rotation += //whatever
}

second:
//put this on the first frame of your flash

Stage.showMenu = false;

chrome-demon, i completely agree to your post and i also think this problem has to get solved but how?

i have CS3 and i think this is the best version.. although i'm still using as2

P.S. can i add you as my support fro code explanations? xD if you don;t mind...

of course, no problem =)

i just sent you the mail

hey buchanko...

i read you'r PM and when i said that you should not work with codes you don't understand, i didn't mean that you don't understand this code and you shall not work with it. i meant that usually, when you don't understand a code you better ask someone or something like this.. ;D

can you give me your email or something because i will send you the .fla ... or shall i upload it somewhere else?

sorry for the doublepost..

got it! i changed some facts

for example: i took the most codes from the first frame and split it to the enemy and the character but it works now. i explained the codes there so i'm not gonna explain it here

i also made a little graphic on the side but if you still have problems understanding the code, please ask me!
you should never work with codes you don't understand.
and some tips for the future:
if you ever need help, ask me.. and: please work on graphics ;)

best wishes
