Another actionscript problem...

[kickassman1]

Ok basically, I have a major problem, but hopefully by solving this one I can solve the big big big problem...

function CheckForWeapon() {
	if (Xen.hitTest("Samurai_Sword") and Xen.crouch) {
		removeMovieClip("Samurai_Sword");
		Xen.attachMovie("Samurai_Sword","weapon",9);
		Xen.gotoAndStop("PickUp");
		Xen.pickup = true;
		Xen.weaponheld = true;
	}
}

Now firstly when Xen crouches over the sword, it should remove the sword, however it doesn't I am hoping someone on these forums can gimme a hand.

Thanks in advance.

i dont think there anything wrong with the code, but do mine that object "Samurai_Sword" most have a assigned or positive depth in order for the removeclip function to work with this object.

The sword actually has the Instance Name "weapon" when you attach it, not "Samurai_Sword". So as far as I can see, you should be using

weapon.removeMovieClip();

rather than

removeMovieClip("Samurai_Sword");

Also, as Patcoola says, if the weapon wasn't attached with AS in the first place, you'll need to do a swapDepths(78910); first to make it accessible for the deletion

But i didn't place the sword inside the stage.

_root.attachMovie("Samurai_Sword","Samurai_Sword",9,{_x:250, _y:300});

And I have made sure that the sword is called Samurai_Sword.

Xen.attack = false;
Xen.step = 7;
Xen.step2 = 5;
Xen.stance = 1;
Xen.crouch = false;
keydown = false;
Xen.pickup = false;
Xen.weaponheld = false;
Xen.movement = false;
Xen.weapon = false;

These are my startup variables. Everything is done inside the frame.

Really not sure. Try

Samurai_Sword.removeMovieClip();
