I have a character with 3 labeled frames of stand, walk and jump. This script works fine apart from that the jump frame does not play when I press UP and I have no idea why not.

onClipEvent(load){
var ground: MovieClip = _root.ground
var grav: Number = 0
var gravity: Number = 2
var speed: Number = 5
var maxJump: Number = -18
var touchingGround: Boolean = false
var scale: Number = _xscale
var Left: Boolean = true
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_y += grav
grav += gravity

while (ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)){
_y -= gravity
grav = 0
}

if (ground.hitTest(_x, _y+5, true)){
touchingGround = true
} else {
touchingGround = false
}

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_x -= speed
_xscale = +scale
gotoAndStop("walk")
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
_x += speed
_xscale = -scale
gotoAndStop("walk")
} else {
gotoAndStop("stand")
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && touchingGround){
grav = maxJump
gotoAndStop("jump")
}
}

Thanks for your help :D

Also, this script is much dervied from the Ultra Platformer Tutorial, so much thanks to the authors :D

it depends if you can draw :/

ok, but kinda short :\

didn't like the new style so much

Any parts left?

I'll make a demo thing tomorrows maybe-z

hey guyz can i joinn>?

You should try this thing called Google. It's kinda new-fangled but I'm sure you can get to grips with it.

Pretty cool :)
Work on some good enemies + you might want to add jump.

Search for things you want to learn on this site.

I'd assume it would be something like

If current rotation is more than 180 larger from goal
rotate right

If current rotation is more than 180 smaller from goal
rotate left

Don't know how you'd code it though :\

How much memory does your computer have?

this is nothing to do with flash

tbh the game could be a lot worse :)

OMG happy birthdays

make a birthday game

No offence, but I'd make sure you knew all the fundamentals before animating/buying Flash * Professional :)

'Cos otherwise people could just make games with loads of easy medals etc.

If you're going to use actual madness sprites having an artist is pointless

Mainly cos I learnt it in illustrator so I'm not used to it in Flash

Bear in mind that Illustrator is primarily for making vector graphics, which you could make more easily in Flash. I do prefer the pen tool in Illustrator more whereas in Flash I don't use it.

Looks pretty cool but I dunno what's up with the quality... remember animation is probably more important to get done first :)

I'd recommend Emanuele Feronato's flash tutorial (among other things) website.

There is a property "rotation" so (in AS2) you could have:

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) {
movieclip.rotation += 5
}

etc.

I would assume people use Photoshop, but you could use Illustrator to make some graphics. If you want a sort-of textured style Photoshop is the way forward.

put me in it, cos i is a legendary flash animator etc.

jokes

Hah i like the art. Unfortunately i can't code for toffee. Or fudge.

I might.

Dude, Flash is the ONLY Flash software.

If this gets off the ground it could be ok... i'll try making a test thing and see if i want to make it better :P

Pretty nice. Obviously the enemies look kind of lame... and add more attacks plz

Works fine for me too.
btw, loving the flying system although the character is kind of odd...

Good tutorial here: http://tinyurl.com/nr9e6u
