Really? Try my other tutorial: it's for shooting games.
Cannibalism is violent
Uhh, my enemyfish is invisible, it's bright freaking purple though
Loved it, Help on the Background
I loved your tutorial! It was short and to the point, not that i don't like long ones. One tiny problem, the background. I did everything right but now I want to make some extra frames so I can have harder levels, But I can't copy the background to the other frames. Help, please?
VENGEANCE-GGG responds:
Put the background onto its own individual layer, and add frames to the keyframe it's in.
Thank you so much!
This was perfect! I'm not really one of those who want to understand everything, I just want it period. Everything worked as it should, it took about 5 minutes to make, and thanks to you I can play one of my favorite games even when the internets down!
I only have one question, I want to edit the fish so they make bubbles every now and then, but when I do it makes the bubble part of the movieclip, in other words if the bubble touches the enemy it gets eaten, anyway to fix this? Or it might be because I have the bubble and fish on one layer, I dunno.
VENGEANCE-GGG responds:
Ah, you need to use attachMovie. Something like this...
bubbleTimer = 0;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("b ubbles", -1);
bubbles.z = 0;
bubbles.onEnterFrame = function () {
bubbleTimer++;
if (bubbleTimer>=3) {
bubbleTimer = 0;
this.attachMovie("bubble", "bubble"+this.z, this.z++, {_x:fish._x+fish._width/2, _y:fish._y});
}
for (b in this) {
bu = this[b];
bu._y-=2;
bu._x-=Math.random();
}
};
If you don't understand it, run a Google search for attachMovie() or something. :)
Great tutorial!
Perfect! The only thing is that in your preloader, there are 3 frames, do I make the game in the third frame? please help.
VENGEANCE-GGG responds:
Yup, put it in the third frame.
