I need help with my game's script.

[uyersuyer]

if(Key.isDown (Key.SHIFT)) {
if(jump){
if(!_currentframe==11){
gotoAndStop(11);}}

That's supposed to make it so that whenever you press shift while jumping, it makes you go to frame 11 of the movie clip, but it doesn't work. I have no idea why.

onClipEvent (load) {
jump = false;
scream = false;
s = 6;
this.gotoAndStop(1);
b = this.getBounds(this);
_root.timerID = setInterval(_root.goTime, 10);
function move(x, y) {
h = false;
if (!_root.map.hitTest(_x+x+b.xmin, _y+y+b.ymin, true)) {
if (!_root.map.hitTest(_x+x+b.xmax, _y+y+b.ymin, true)) {
if (!_root.map.hitTest(_x+x+b.xmin, _y+y+b.ymax, true)) {
if (!_root.map.hitTest(_x+x+b.xmax, _y+y+b.ymax, true)) {
_root.map._x -= x;
_root.map._y -= y;
h = true;
}
}
}
}
return h;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
falling = move(0, s);
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && !falling && !jump) {
jump = true;
vel = -10;
_root.jumpSound.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_xscale = -100;
move(-s, 0);
this.play();
_root.moveSound.gotoAndPlay(2);

}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_xscale = 100;
move(s, 0);
this.play();
_root.moveSound.gotoAndPlay(2);

}
if(Key.isDown (Key.SHIFT)) {
if(jump){
if(!_currentframe==11){
gotoAndStop(11);}}

}
if (jump) {
if (vel<=10) {
h = move(0, vel-s);
if (h == false && vel<0) {
vel *= -1;
}
vel++;
} else {
jump = false;
}
}
if (_root.map._y<-850) {
_root.map._x = 0;
_root.map._y = 0;
scream = false;
}
if (falling) {
gotoAndStop("jump");
} else {
if (_currentframe == 5) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}

That's the full code.

Any suggestions?

im not a pro at actionscript but i think the 'if(jump){' is wrong, maybe it should be something like

if jump = true

maybe? :P

actually. its the same!
if you mean
if(jump=true){

try

if(!this._currentframe==11){
this.gotoAndStop(11);
}
}

[uyersuyer]

None of this is working. :/

if (jump)

and

if (jump == true)

are the same thing.

It's not the same, actually...

if(jump = true)

Assigns the value of true to jump and returns true. You wouldn't use this in practice unless you made a typo.

if(jump)

Executes if jump is equal to or returns true; doesn't execute if jump is equal to or returns false. USE THIS

if(jump == true)

Checks the value of jump, returns true if it is true and returns false if it is false, executing accordingly. You're basically adding an unnecessary comparison when you do this, which is a waste of CPU and line space. There is no real reason to do it.

Try

if(Key.isDown (Key.SHIFT)) {
if(jump){
if(_currentframe<>11){
gotoAndStop(11);}}

Oh, to elaborate further: It's basically the difference between saying "I like cheese" and "If I like cheese then I like cheese".

[KillaW0lf04]

Sorry for the double post

but cant u also do this:

if(Key.isDown (Key.SHIFT) && jump ) {gotoAndStop(11);}

that basically makes the move go to frame 11 and stop when shift is pressed and jumping, no matter what frame the movie is currently on.

[uyersuyer]

None of this is workinggggg.

Do I need a different script if I'm publishing in Flash 6 or something? I can't go any higher or it ruins the rest of my code.

[KillaW0lf04]

i just tried the code i gave you out and it works fine for me......

I haven't read your whole script but if "! " is the instance name I think that's where the issues resides. You can't use that for instance names.

Basicly if you want to use _currentframe you must make it follow the object. Be it this or <instancename> or whatnot.

Try this instead:

if(Key.isDown (Key.SHIFT))
{
if(jump)
{
if(this._currentframe != 11)
{
gotoAndStop(11);
}
}

Ah, so that's who you are. I've got this covered =D
