Help with a game??

[Matchubox]

I tried the lets make an RPG thread and it didnt have what i wanted...

I need an AS for a wall so that the character cant go through it.

would really appreciate the help.

here you are [=RPG ENGINE=].fla

[Devenger]

Never throw an .fla at a newbie!

Try AS: Basic Movement. That's in AS: Main

[Matchubox]

thanx just gotta add an altered version of the code to my game...

cheers

[4Doctodragon]

wait... your calling him a noob, yet you havent realy done much in flash... *gasp* (suspence)

[Devenger]

Me? I just never get down to do any work, I suppose. I do know stuff, but I have something called school and homework, and spend the rest of the time browsing and stuff. :X

[Matchubox]

that didnt exactly help because i only want to make it so the player cant go through a wall and i couldnt see that in the link...thanx anyway and if you could post some AS that would help i would be grateful.

i already know all the motion/hit test script. how to make stuff move etc...

i'm not really a newbie btw :)

[Devenger]

Well, it's all about adapting the hitTest code, isn't it?

[Matchubox]

i think so i just cant get my head round it....

Here ya go =D
...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (this.hitTest(_root.INSTANCE NAME HERE)) { _x = _x+5; } }

Put this on the one that moves. Change the instance name to w/e you called the wall. That code was to stop them walking off the screen while walking left, to stop them walking off the screen while walking right use this code...

onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (this.hitTest(_root.INSTANCE NAME HERE)) { _x = _x-5; } }

Tell me if you need any more help on this!

Thanks,

Sam

[Devenger]

Saza, with that code you will end up needing to add a lot of horrible, unoptimized code, because you need to hitTest against every single wall ...

... if you wan't that method, put the hitTesting on the walls.

[Sam]

Hmm yeah, I guess that would be alot easier ^^;;
Still, im not that good at flash. xD

[Matchubox]

sorry but this doesnt work, i've looked at other flash and you need to put code into the wall and i know how to make it so that you cant go off the screen and thats fine.

but yea thanx :S any more help would be most excellent

[Sam]

btw they were only for the left and right walls, did you change the code, where it said INSTANCE NAME to the walls instance name?

[Matchubox]

yea i did :s it just dint seem to do anything...

[Sam]

awww well lol

I find it's much more efficient to set yourself deadlines for your flashes!

I've yet to encounter a piece of school work which can't be delayed without consequence for at least a week

Code for character

onClipEvent (load) {
lastx = 0;
lasty = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
lastx = _x;
lasty = _y;
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += 2;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
_y -= 2;
} else if (Key.isDow(Key.DOWN)) {
_y += 2;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= 2;
}
// end if
}

CODE FOR WALL

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(hitTest(_root.CHARACTERNAME)){ //Change CHARACTERNAME to your players instance name
_root.playa._x=_root.playa.lastx
_root.playa._y=_root.playa.lasty
}
}

well it sort of works thanx dude ill just addapt it to see if can make it work properly.

thanx a lot.. :)

what doesn't work about it. You can't just say "it doesn't work" that could mean anything. Does he hit the wall? Does he walk through it? Does he walk through it then get stuck?
