Ok, clipping is done, and varying player height. WASD to move, SPACE to jump.

Any ideas / suggestions / bugs?

I think there is a way to do this by copying the array to a bytearray then reading it back or something like that.

As long as you're using AS3 and remembering to use ints rather than doubles (Number) for any numbers that have no floating point.. then it'll all be fine. Just keep your code readable.

It's not that difficult to do, and it's very important =p lazy.

Looking good, though is it possible to either make it less pixelated or clip when further away? it looks very badly pixeled when your standing against a wall
I love the ability to walk over stuff, and jump onto things!
Add a good mouse for left and right ability, and some gunning ability and post it up! cant wait to see a counter strike styled engine coming from this!

Working on floorcasting now, have it working for the floor but not on top of walls yet. Also, switched to mouse like you asked, so A and D now strafe.

Looking great!

Things look a bit too pixelated, what's the reason for that?

Also, mouse is good, but it's annoying to have to constantly move it to the left or right to turn, which will eventually leave the mouse on the far left/right side of the screen.

How about having areas that if the mouse is in it'll turn. Say 30-40 pixels down from the left and the same for the right? Maybe 2 different sets of areas. One set to make it turn slowly and the others(closer to the edges) faster.

Does that make any sense?

I've tried that before, it just gets annoying when you start turning right for no reason when you accidentally look too far right. I forgot to mention that if you hold SHIFT, your mouse is detached.
It's pixelated because it just runs to damn slow when it's at high quality. I have yet to optimize, so there is still hope.

You had it right the first time.Now...
It was much better with the walls all orange/one color for the framespeed. It also looked better then
than it is now. Go for the old thing with the new controls. Itll be much better when u add enemies too because you'll tell what are the enemies. Remember, your not going to make a Call of Duty game in flash.

The old engine wall inferior in many ways. Mainly that it couldn't handle huge maps, couldn't do vertical and couldn't do textures. I'm sorry, but I'm sticking with this.

you should go back to the first one you made. that one was awesome.

i don't mean go with the old wall engine, but use the One color walls. Cuz the pixalated walls hurt my eyes. It also destroys the framerate. Plus who needs multi-storie maps.C'mon this is flash.

Texturing itself hardly affects framerate, but I need the multiple levels for the style of game I want to make.

Very nice. The clipping works superbly. Only thing you should do now is upping the resolution a bit (at the moment it's a bit horrible to look at). But the jumping and clipping is awesome.

Doing stupid things like doing loops backwards (starting at the end then decreasing to zero); binary logic instead of a bunch of if/elses; and data types speed things up. But ternary slows things down, so you might wanna avoid it.

All of those things make barely any difference though.

Ok, thanks, I'll try that.

Apparently Ifs and Elses are slightly faster than .. ? .. : ..., but thanks for suggesting.

But ternary slows things down, so you might wanna avoid it.

So should I use an int that can be 0 or 1 instead of booleans?

Any increase of FPS is a good thing, so thanks.

I've been using this mainly to get it faster.

... ? ... : .... is ternary, and it's very slightly slowwer than ifs and elses. What I meant by binary logic was something like

var b = (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)-Key.isDown(Key.RIG HT))

instead of a bunch of ifs/elses for it. You can only apply it in certain situations, but I'm pretty sure it speeds it up. But I think AS3 killed that method of doing stuff, so forget I said it.

Nooooo, definatly keep booleans instead of ints, booleans are far smaller memory wise. I just didn't explain myself properly first time lol.

ah, sorry, got confused. Thanks for the advice

any new updates?

PEOPLE, STOP ASKING. If he has updates, he will post them. GOSH. He has more projects than this, and I know he has at least one other advertised project, so that's a few projects he has there. He will update this when he has updates. He's not sitting there with a full-blown Call of Duty remake contemplating whether or not to tell you!

Well, actually...
I'm just figuring out the maths behind drawing floors on top of walls at the moment.

@staliN
sry for sound so obnoxious, im just really excited to see this finished :P
@ Super-Yombario
dont have to be a ass about EVERYTHING. seriously, is the only thing you can do on this site, annoying people?

No problem, and I'm excited to see it finished too!

for the source files or the .swf?

Very nice!
I've been trying to make something similar, but I just couldn't figure out how to make anything decent that would run well in Flash. Mine didn't have jumping, either. I sort of gave up when I realized I have no idea how to make models from Blender work with my Flash library. ;D Let alone copy over the lighting and textures from said Blender files. All that aside, though, nice engine! Is it CS4? Or is it possible the source would work in CS3? I read that it was AS3, so it has to be CS3 or later... or that open source stuff.

It's all in AS3, so it will work in CS3 and CS4. I'll post the source files when some things are fixed.

phew that took a while to read haha, it looks amazing so far dude well done, i could never set myself a task like that and stick to it (lack of willpower i guess) lol. Keep up the good work and i think i speak for most people on this thread when i say i cant wait to see it finished! javascript:MakeSmileySelection(15);

its been soo long!! update?

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/270109/7 8554_main.php

you could make an exploration game like metroid, where you run around and try tof ind a key or knife to open a door to go somewhere else. basically i was thinking it would be like a guy is ona space ship then it crashes and he needs to get a hammer to break through the door yadda yadda yadda... then gets a machete to cut through thick vines blah blah story line... beautiful scenery... then gets a flash light to see through a cave, and then a rock to kill something with, and so on...

I'm working on a different 3D technique now. I have scaling and rotation working, and it uses a 2D map to update the 3D one.

It's just another way of going about it. I'll post it pretty soon.
