ok, i like the shooter buddy, the question i got for you is how to get the sound to play when you click.

[Idoru]

easy..

import a music file.. it will show up in the library. right click it and select linkage --> select linkage and give it a name like "gun".

now put this script in the first frame of the maintimeline

function playsound () {
sound_obj = new Sound(this);
sound_obj.attachSound("gun"]);
sound_obj.start(0, 1);
}

now anythime you want it to play like in another script just put in:

_root.playsound();

i'll resist the temptation of calling u a fucking moronic n00b, so all i have to say is get the basics, because shooters arent that simple, unless you are experienced with flash gaming

[DaRat]

on the counter strike shooter, you should add a gun, and delete the crosshair, so its harder to hit the target

Check my: Counter-Strike 0.01 and Arcade DEMO games out... study them carefully... can you see? There are only 1 enemy on the screen. never 2 enemies at the same time.

[ham-cartoons]

ok this one goes out to a guy called _wizard_, a while back you told me how to make a sound go of when you clicked but i copied and pasted you instructions and flash mx says that they contain errors and things that contain errors cant be pasted, could you maybe revise it again.

[DaRat]

to make an enemy, you would

1. draw the enemy guy

2. press F8 and make him MOVIE CLIP!!!!!

3. put 'stop' in his first frame.

4. starting on the second frame, do an animation of him being killed, however many frames long. put 'stop' on the last frame.

5. go back to the first frame and make the guy a button, or just the guy's head or body or whatever a button, depending on what you have to click to kill him

6. on the button actions do...

on(press) <---not release!!
play ()

7. now when you try out the movie, and click him, he will die.

[Jeffshaw]

will this for only an fps shooter? or will this work on a platform game as well? thanks Jeff

How do you make the cursor different... like an aimer

[ham-cartoons]

first of all, convert what ever you want to be your curse into a movie clip,(make sure the little boxes thingys have the dot in the middle) once its converted put this in the actions for what you just converted

onClipEvent (load) {
startDrag("", true);
}
onece thats done put this in the first frame you want the curser to start

Mouse.hide();
thats it
any problems just post again

[Bbblank]

thanx! that was very help full :)
