"Awesome tutorial!"

by: spare-jello

date: July 15, 2006

I just have something to ask.

I'm trying everything, but this action isnt working-

_global.hp:Number = 100;
_global.mp:Number = 100;

I've tried everything, but it always says expected syntax error. I'm using Flash 8 Pro, btw.

"Right, I'm gonna be a bit critical here"

by: StupidHumorKing

date: July 5, 2006

Now I'm VERY RARELY critical with other people's work, but here goes.

First off, I'm planning to make a turn based RPG in the style of FF1 in Flash, and this is NEARLY right up my alley, I'll give you that.

The thing is I'm used to learning through visual techniques, so SCREENSHOTS of what you're trying to explain would be a MASSIVE help (I have Asperger's by the way so please bear with me).

Also, sorry if I didn't notice (and maybe a bit dumb), but besides the attack and the health you didn't put any formulae of how defense and magic defense can be involved when the character and the enemy is attacking each other, because that would REALLY help.

When you mentioned to put movie clips and frames and so fourth, you really didn't mention VERY CLEARLY where to put them (well, thats what I think anyway, most people probably got what you meant anyway).

Forgive me, but what about explaining a bit of coding on how to trigger a turned based battle on a world map? An explanation on the use of tiles and also the Collision Detection would be nice too.

If you can explain a lot more in possibly another RPG tutorial WITH:

- Screenshots
- Bullet Points
- VERY CLEAR AND SIMPLE Explanations

then I'll DEFINETLY be following your tutorials in the future.

Overall, this was a VERY nice try, in fact I'll try and see if I can make sense from it by doing what you've said in this tutorial.

"Okay,"

by: Jovatov

date: July 5, 2006

Well, it's a good tut as far as I can see, except that you can't really do anything with it.
You can do everything you say in your tut, then you'd have a basic rpg, but what next? If you don't know nothing, you haven't learned anything from this tutorial either thus making this tutorial quite useless.
Anyways, you put work in it, and the backgrounds were nice, I didn't like the music but you could put it off so that's alright.
Next time, try explaining all that stuff, because then you could actually learn something.

"A good tutorial for begginers"

by: CorkySurprise

date: July 5, 2006

I loved the backgrounds; nice job on that.
Only a few improvements:

Instead of using a different frame for each direction, why not use _rotation for overhead instead?

Also, if I recall correctly:

It should be

on (release) {_root.gotoAndPlay ("whateverscene", 1);}

not

on (release) {_root.gotoAndPlay (whateverscene, 1);}

"Not bad"

by: Nut-in-a-box

date: July 4, 2006

It would be extreamly helpful if you could add a menu to this Tut.

I haven't gotten a chance to test out the AS yet, but I've been looking forward to making some type of game.

Also love the backgrounds. The gray swirly one, and the green one are my favorites.

"Scripting needed work."

by: Pyromaniac

date: July 4, 2006

First off, although you did use the right syntax, there were better ways of going around the scripting than what you did. Instead of saying _root.hp=_root.hp-20; you could have said _root.hp-=20; You did however state the variables right, saying var hp:Number=100; as opposed to hp=100; (which would still work). The other scripting was very basic, but wasnt explained too well. There were no demos, and no final demo. Otherwise, this wasnt that bad.
