try this:
Or go to a local book store and buy an actionscript book.
I asked my question before, the one about cars and that. If that is onsolvable then just tell me.

You mean that car thinghy about facing the road explain the prob again please... I didn't really get what you mean but its solvable, im sure of that!
You controle a car and the compuyer makes a car folow you but the following car has to face the right way acording to the street.

So if there is a corner the direction of the car chasing you changes? is that correct?
ye but this is were i find it hard to do because if there is a four way junction the enemy car would look weird if it suddenley changed direction when all the other cars run smoothly.

im working on a code for you but it is kinda hard but it is possible and I know I can do it

Im not done with the code yet but I have An idea how I'm gonna solve this.
The first step is to label the car that chases you 'CAR'
and the player's car 'PLAYER'
Put this script in the player car:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// right
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation = _rotation+move;
}
// left
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation = _rotation-move;
}
// up
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
if (move<15) {
move++;
}
} else if (move>0) {
move--;
}
// down
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
if (move>-10) {
move--;
}
} else if (move<0) {
move++;
}
// enter
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
_x = 200;
_y = 200;
_rotation = 0;
move = 0;
}
// _x & _y position
if (_rotation>180) {
_y = _y+(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x = _x-(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}
if (_rotation<180) {
_y = _y-(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x = _x+(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}
_root.speed = move*3;
}
and this in the car that chases you.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
clipToFace = _root.player;
xdiff = clipToFace._x-_x;
ydiff = clipToFace._y-_y;
offset = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._y += ydiff/15;
this._x += xdiff/15;
}
That would have the movement and following done, only the corner script... its coming up!
Oh yes forgot to post:
Make a new movieclip, with a corner drawn inside it. You are going to use this movieclip for EVERY CORNER
Sorry if you used this on the car but this is the car script i se for my normal car.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
// right
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation = _rotation+move;
}
// left
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation = _rotation-move;
}
// up
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
if (move<40) {
move++;
}
} else if (move>0) {
move--;
}
// down
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
if (move>-10) {
move--;
}
} else if (move<0) {
move++;
}
// enter
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
_x = 200;
_y = 200;
_rotation = 0;
move = 0;
}
// _x & _y position
if (_rotation>180) {
_y = _y+(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x = _x-(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}
if (_rotation<180) {
_y = _y-(move*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
_x = _x+(move*Math.sin(Math.PI/180*_rotation));
}
_root.speed = move*3;
}
Im sorry Mexxa I am almost there but I got somthing moere important to do:
DINNER
I will be back as soon as I can
Okay i got It done but I cant explain it, so I will have to send you a FLA file, but you got your email adress invisible, so you'll have to mail me
my email is united_idiots@hotmail.com but dont try anything on msn.
Ok i mailed the fla to you, but it still is crappy and you're not gonna b satisfied with it. Neither am I but I never use the car script myself so I dont think I can help u further. I recommend you talk to Tom of The Super Flash Bros
hi, i wont to make one of those games were something is droping from the sky an you use the mouse which will be a hand or somthing you catch the falling things. if you dont know what i mean here is the type of game i wont to make http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=142000 can somone helo me plz
Evil Ludy: you know the idea for the turning script would it be possible to make a specific point (place along the x axis) wich if the enemy got to it copied the movie clip, moved it and rotated it slightly then deleted the original clip until the enemy faced a specific direction then it stop that bit and carried on chasing.
here's a script i made that creates random straight lines from the top of the screen and random x origons. also, the colors are random. put this script in the frame.
colour = random(0xFFFFFF);
xi = 10;
c = random(550);
m = Math.random()*10;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
x += xi;
y = m*x;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1);
with ("line") {
lineStyle(1, colour, 100);
moveTo(x+c, y);
lineTo(x-xi+c, (x-xi)*m);
}
if (x+c>550 || y>400) {
x = 0;
m = Math.random()*7;
c = random(550);
colour = random(0xFFFFFF);
}
};
heh, here's a little alteration to the script i just posted... now it has a random x and y origon.
colour = random(0xFFFFFF);
xi = 10;
b = random(400);
c = random(550);
m = Math.random()*10;
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
x += xi;
y = (m*x)+b;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("line", 1);
with ("line") {
lineStyle(1, colour, 100);
moveTo(x+c, y);
lineTo(x-xi+c, (x-xi)*m+b);
}
if (x+c>550 || y>400) {
x = 0;
b = random(400);
m = Math.random()*7;
c = random(550);
colour = random(0xFFFFFF);
}
};
Mexxa, is this what you're asking for, regarding the enemy chasing the player?:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!this.hitTest(_root.player._x, _root.player._y, true)) {
angle = Math.atan2(_root.player._y - _y, _root.player._x - _x);
xg = Math.cos(angle) * speed;
yg = Math.sin(angle) * speed;
_x += xg;
_y += yg;
_rotation = angle / (Math.PI / 180);
}
}
Something easy but edittable to beginners. It's hard to get more basic then this so don't think i've put this up for how good, but for how easy it is.
On the first frame add this to the actionscript:
_root.moveTo(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse);
On the second frame place this actionscript there:
_root.lineStyle(5, 0xAABBCC);
_root.lineTo(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse);
Then lastly on the third and final frame put:
gotoAndPlay(2);
Try playing around with the numbers in frame 2 to suit what you want, just move the mouse around.
Now, something else i made but it's harder to understand for beginners.
Set the board dimensions as 400 x 400.
The frame rate should be 100 for a nice, fast and smooth action.
Make a blank movie clip and place this in the middle of the board give it an instance of "crosshairs".
Next make another blank movie clip and give it an instance name of "controller" if you want. Place it down anywhere then align it's y position to the middle with ctrl + k, then press ctrl + i and put it's x position as 300( middle of the board plus 100 which is the radius in the following code ). Now add the following to it's actions:
onClipEvent (load) {
radius = 100;
degrees = 0;
_root.lineStyle(1, 0xFF9900, 100);
_root.moveTo(this._x, this._y);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.lineTo(this._x, this._y);
angle = degrees*(Math.PI/180);
degrees = degrees+2;
xposition = radius*Math.cos(angle);
yposition = radius*Math.sin(angle);
this._x=xposition+_root.crosshairs._x;
this._y=yposition+_root.crosshairs._y;
}
First of all, go binary.
secondly, i need a script for when my character, nate, runs into the remote, it plays the scene entitled clipscene1.
How do i so this?!
When i tried hittest, my remote dissapeared. I am frustrated and more confused than i thought to be possible.
can someone help me?

now it is there, but my guy stands ontop of it istead of runing into it.
now it's just going through it!
this is what i have on the remote:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.nate)) {
true;
gotoAndPlay("cutscene1", 1);
}
}
Please help me
Hey evilludy I bought this book on AS but it's not really helping me out,it tells you how to use AS for movies,I want to know how to do it for games,I tried gettign the book you have but they don't sell it anymore so how else can I learn actionscripting?I dont' want it handed out to me,I want to know what it all means.

The book I got is only for sale in hollad and I don't know any books in other languages.
I can give you some advice:
Go to this web page, there are 139 Tutorials in there and every single detail is explained.
And there is also a (very expansive) flash book I know that is translated in a lot of languages, the FLASH MX ACTIONSCRIPT BIBLE
If you plan to buy that, be sure you buy the Actionscript Bible and not the Flash Bible.
do u no how to put in double guns or diving ?
