Health AS

[Phantox]

Hey I was wondering if any of you could tell me the AS needed for the following things:

1. Make health NOT go under 0 or over 100 (-5 or 105)

2. Make health increase/decrease by random when a button is pressed.

Could one of you please tell me the action script for those two? The first one doesn't matter much but the second one does.

Thanks

well you would have to use a if function. if (health = 0){
health = 0
}
or

if (health = 0){
gotoAndStop("die")
}

2nd post is wrong.

You need to set two:

onEnterFrame = funcion(){
if(hp<= 0){
hp = 0;
//die;
}
if(hp>= 100){
hp = 100;
}
}

and, for the button:

on(release){
_root.hp += random(51) - 25;
}

that should work.

I currently have:

onEnterFrame = function*( {
if(root_.health <= 0) {
_root.gotoAndStop(3);
}

It does the same but it shows -(number) for a while which looks ugly. I could probably fix that but it would be easier if I knew how to prevent a number going below 0 or over 100

I see... Let me try it out...

Alright it seems to work but it sometimes decreases the health instead of increasing (it might do like ++++--+++-+) any way to stop that?

If I got you right, then define the health
var health:Number = 100;

You wanted the health to randomly decrease or increase, so we'll have to use the random() method. So when the button is pressed:

health += Math.floor(Math.random()*20-10);

This will add the health number -10 to 10 randomly. Math.floor should fix 'ugly' numbers.

if you don't want the health to get under 0 or above 100, use conditional stuff after changing the health var,

if(health>100){
health = 100;
}else if (health<0){
health= 0;
}

Hope this helps.

Ok, perfect script time:

onEnterFrame = funcion(){
while(hp<0){
hp = 0;
//die;
}
while(hp>100){
hp = 100;
}
}

and, for the button:

on(release){
_root.hp += random(51);
}

Yep. Thanks!

Alright thanks! BTW, I can change the 51 to any number right?

Yes, also, use the while script I gave, that will get rid of any - numbers.

if checks a variable every frame, so when it ges under 0, you have 1 frame of - numbers. While checks multiple times a frame, so you don't. But don't ever get an infinite while loop. Crashes the damn flash.
