When the user presses "space" i want a bullet to spawn from my players gun and if it's touches an enemy for the enemy to die.

Stops the movie from playing.

stop();

Does anyone have actionscript for a pinball game? I know there has to be some gravity. I just need code for the flippers & the springs.

Hey Dudes!

I was wondering if anybody could give me a hand with a little game I'm making...I've done several movies before using Flash, but I've never tried to make a GAME. That's why I'm not that good on ActionScripting....Well, anyway, I'm making a point-and-click game, and I've got all the Actions Scripting I could need....except for one little code...I'll explain the problem now:

I've got this door (which is an MC) that sould open if I click on it ONLY if another MC (called "circle") has a certain value for the x axis (350). When I say "open" I mean that it plays starting from the second frame, which is an animation of the door opening. Well, I have this other button that makes the circle get those coordinates, so when I click on that button, well..you guessed, "circle" gets 350 as a value for the x axis. then, when I click on the door, it opens (as it should do). However, if I click on the door before clicking on the other button, "circle" gets 350 as it's value for x and then the door opens.... I can't understand what's going wrong with the code... well, here it is in case any of you can help me with this:

This is on the door:

onClipEvent(mouseUp){
if(_root.circle._x=350.0) {
if(this.hitTest(_root.cursor)){
gotoAndPlay("circleMC",2)
}
}
}

This is on the burron that moves the circle:

on (release) {
_root.circle._x=350.0
_root.circle._y=183.0;
}

Thanks anyway :)

heyy there guys

Seems like a lot of people don't know Actionscript..

Including me. :S

done millions of times but....heres my snow/rain script
also duplicate script

onClipEvent (load) {
//when the clip is first loaded up
movieY = 400;
movieX = 550;
//MOVIECLIP INFO EDN HERE
//RANDOM SCRIPT START HERE
_alpha = 50+Math.random()*100;
_xscale = ["smallest X"]+Math.random()*["largest X"];
_yscale = ["smallest Y"]+Math.random()*["largest Y"];
this._x = 0+Math.random()*movieX;
this._y = 0+Math.random()*movieY
//EDN OF RANDOMIZE SCRIPT
//info scripts NOW
data1 = .5+Math.random()*1.5;
data2 = movieX-movieX-15
data3 = .1+Math.random()*5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._y += data1;
//....Y is added Data1
this._x += data3;
//....X is added Data3
//loop script
if (this._y>=movieY) {
//if our snowflake hits the edge of our screen
this._y = -15;
//its sent to neg. 15
}
//loop script2
if (this._x>=movieX) {
this._x = data2;
//Its sent to a neg. area
}
}
//I'm going to try an anti-laq version soon

duplicate script...

for (k=0; k<100; k++) {
duplicateMovieClip(this.flake, "snow"+k, k);
}

what code do i use to display the current frame number in dynamic text box with var power1 and the movieclip to get the frame number from is instance powerbar

Don't understand what you mean on the second question, but use the _currentframe function.

i.e. _root.power1.text = _currentframe;

Well, somin like that.

Here is a great basic circle to shape hitTest:

onClipEvent (load) {
radius = #
//make that the radius of your circle
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (=0; i<360; i+=5) {
X = (Math.cos(i*(Math.PI/180))*radius)+_x;
Y = (Math.sin(i*(Math.PI/180))*radius)+_y;
if (_root.shape.hitTest(X, Y, true)) {
trace("teh boomzors!")
//written by RiotFlash!
}
}
}

That checks for hitTest every 5 degrees. No lag!

No, you didn't write that. It's from 23450's tutorial in AS: Main on Circle to Shape Collisions. All you did was make a tiny edit in the for() loop after posters suggested that he change the loop. Which means it wasn't really your edit. And then you changed the text to trace. Which doesn't really count as an edit. Nice job.

I have Flash AS2.0 Garage

hi! Does anybody know how to make a code that you create people with properties like just with numbers. I've only got Flash MX .

What i mean is that i am trying to make a game which needs alot of made up people for example like an AI of a lot of people. I've got an idea of giving those people a number of several things e.g. confidence, strength, income, hitpoints. I need to give a random number for each of these things for each person with out making loads of textfield myself, because it was way too much if i need 10000 for example.

I was wondering if there is any code that can generate the number of people i want that has got properties from the random number?

THANK YOU SO MUCH

success of the helped code will definatly be in the credit

make 2 layers;
in the first one: 10 frames with answers(each frame has a stop() action
in the second layer: a button with the following code

on (release) { what_number = Number(random(10))+2;
tellTarget ("/random_number") { gotoAndStop(/:what_number);

ctrl+enter to test

I suppose in your game everything except the path is a button.
so this button should have a code like on (rollOver); goto...
you should add: on (dragOver); goto...

that disables the left-mouse-button way of cheating. for the right mouse button: no single idea

but if these people want to cheat: their problem

Ok, I don't really have time to read through 283 pages, so here is my question. Im trying to make a pause button for a pong game and nothing is working. I started a thread and what I was told to do didn't work. If you check out the thread "making a pause button for pong" you can see what the people told me to do. When I did what they say, either the game freezes or nothing happens at all. If anyone knows what I am doing wrong or know how to do it, some suggestions would be appreciated, because flash is really starting to piss me off right now, because whatever I try doesn't work. Someyimes there are lots of errors like "statement must appear within a handler" or "statement must be terminated by "}" " or "syntax error" Someone plz help!

create a variable called game, game = 1, and wrap all movement code inside if(game == 1){ then when you pause make game = 0... when you want to play make game = 1... simple as that...

Wow this post helps so much
