[CS3] Score Counter In A Shooter Game
Nov 24, 2008
I have a simple shooting game set up. 25 monsters appear on the screen, one after another, until no monsters are left. If you hit one before it disappears, the score increases. If you don't, the score stays the same.
In the actions frame, I placed an empty dynamic text box named score, and set it equal to 0 (declared in the main actions frame). But, seeing as though the monster actions are coded into the library item itself, do I have to declare score, and the score increase there instead?

I have been trying to make a score counter for a small game where the user clicks on a button on the stage, each time the user presses the button the score increments by 10, however I cannot get the score to display on the dynamic text field.
var score:uint;
//scoreCounter is the instance name of the dynamic text box
function updateScore():void{
score += 10;
scoreCounter.text = score.toString();
}

Iam trying to make a flash counter for a shooting game where each time you shoot a enemy you get 10 points. Does anyone know the code for score counting. I have made a dynamic text box with the word "Score" in it.

Working on a simple score counter for my young son -- the idea is to simply add or subtract 1 digit to reveal the score. The variables only need to be 0-9 in each column. Can someone advise on how to make this work correctly? The animation was developed using a root.xxxx +1 or -1. It does the trick but as you can see, it keeps going into the double digits in each column.
He personally does not care about the code glitch -- but his perfectionist Dad does [URL]...

I've only played around with a dressup and dating sim - and coding using actionscript (and coding in general, only done a little bit of VB and Python before). I've been following a nice arcade side-scroller tutorial on this site which has three parts, if you want to view and go over them to help. It was designed for Flash 5 and I'm using Flash 8 Pro.[code]Anyway, as I was going through and coding/drawing the whole thing I came across a lot of problems and glitches (and a lot of times when the game coding would crash and I'd have to abort it and remake the entire coding again). I sort of stumbled around blindly, deleting and editing code to get things to work, and I'm up to the point where I'm almost finished with the thing. It's still glitchy though.I was wondering if any Flash coders could help me out?I'm going to be creating a Flash game for my programming class and I would prefer if it wasn't screwy (if I need to remake it with less cutesy graphics). xD;; If you could download the .Fla file and fix the coding problems I have.
Playable SWF game on my deviantart account.FLA downloadable file (@ Mediafire; no viruses, trojans, blahblah attached)The enemies tend to randomly explode before the missile has even hit them.The original enemy movie clip doesn't even want to explode.The score counter won't tick for each kill.The boundary box (?) of the player/enemy seems to be too big. You die before you should - in certain positions the enemy gets close and I guess the boundary boxes hit, which initiates the hitTest. It seems premature though, I'm wondering if I can reduce the boundary box, or have it so the enemy and player collide on the actual graphic, and not the movie clip box? I have no idea if this makes sense, I hope it does.There seems to be a bunch of other small glitches too.

I'm very new to flash,and have been digging through google and this site for information on how to piece together an AS2 shooter game.Its going well enough, but I'm having slowdown issues the longer the games runs, and I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.To paste an enemy movie clip on the screen, i'm using this:
Code:
var spawn =_root.attachMovie("monster1","monster1"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(),_root.getNextHighestDepth())[code]........
I need them stored in an array so that the player's shots can test weather or not they've hit any monster on the bullet's enter frame function, then call that monster's movie clip's take damage function. I'm using a for loop to do this:
Code:
for(var i in _root.player.foes){
if (this.hitTest(_root.player.foes[i])){
_root.player.foes[i].takedamage();}
}
I think the problem with the slowdown is that each time I place an enemy on the screen the array gets bigger and bigger. The slowdown only happens while the player is shooting, and I suspect the ever longer for loop with the hit testing is causing it.
I'm already removing the monster's movie clips as they get killed or exit the screen, I guess what I need is a way to reduce the size of the array at the same time, or at least tell the for loop not to do a hit test unless the monster is still alive.

I'm making a top-down shooter game. I have keyboard input that moves the ship around and fires a laser.everything works perfect except that when the ship moves diagonal up left, or diagonal down right, the laser can't fire at the same time. It will work in any other direction, including the other diagonals. Just not those two
[Code]...
is this a common problem among movement in games? or do I just need to fix something?

Im attempting to make an overhead shooter game. Ive got the basic movement down already, and rotation towards mouse. For when he shoots, ive set it to duplicate a bullet movie clip, but i only understand how to set it towards one graphical direction(ex: x +, y -)
The code i know ive gotta fix is
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += laserMoveSpeed;
if (this._x>1000) {
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
The little x + part has to be fixed, but i have no idea what to substitute in order to make it shoot from the front.

'm testing functions to make myself a First Player Shooter game and now I have problem with the fire delay. I want a limit of let's say 1 shot per second. I thought that maybe restricting the clickings counted, so it doesn't register the mouse clicks too close to eachother. Or put some kind of interval at the functions delaying the sound and event function, but that seems too hard.
The game so far:[URL]As u see one get multiple sounds when clicking a lot and it's possible to get several points by clicking the ball a lot.Also, when the ball goes behind the tree it's not supposed to be able to shoot. The Flash File: [URL]It's not the exact same, some junk code trying to make the delay...

Is there a way to get this code to work? It's meant to count the seconds passed while playing the game and gives a bonus multiplier to the current score when the game ends. I don't know how to get the returned value to combine it into the multiplier int variable. Is there any way to get this code to work or is it completely wrong?

I'm trying to make a game that's a top down shooter kind of like Asteroids, but there are no asteroids, just enemy ships. Anyway, I'm trying to make a radar for it. The area for the ships to shoot eachother in is 2400 pixels length and height. The stage is 650 x 500 pixels. The radar works fine for when I'm traveling up and down, but the enemy ships on the radar move in the opposite direction as the enemy ships on the screen when I move left to right. When I move left the enemy ships on the radar also go right, instead of left.[code]this code is called from a move objects function which is an ENTER_FRAME event if that helps any.

What is a good framework to build a multiplayer game in Actionscript? I want to create a multiplayer 2D shooter like Asteroids on the Blackberry Playbook; my main concern is latency - a shooter wouldn't be fun if the bullets are super-jerky and unexpectedly hit people. I'm guessing that a UDP-based framework would be the best.

I am in the process of creating a vertical scrolling space shooter game for deployment on mobile platforms using AIR.I've used some excellent tutorials online, video tutorials on Lynda and several books, including Game Programming University.Something they all seem to gloss over are the various screens that will be used.
For instance, my game right now will use a splash screen, a main menu screen, a credits screen,a settings screen, a difficulties screen, an instruction screen, an end game screen and save/load screen...and a play game screen, where the actual game will be played.I've created the screens as seperate frames in the main timeline with stop commands in between and code on each page (I know... bad!... but easy).So basically,they can navigate through the menus using buttons (mouseclicks, which will work with touchs as well) and when they are How do I pass data between them? I was thinking of storing it in shared object.

I'm playing around with a game, (skinned it and slightly modded it) and at the end I want the player to be able to enter his email and hit a "submit" button and have his score emailed to me? Is this simple?

I need to create a score board for a game show at work for staff. The score board must keep score on the left and right parts of the screen. score must start as default on 0. Then every time I press for example the left arrow key the left score must increase by the value of 1 and when I press the right arrow key the left score must decrease by 1.Same goes for the right score only with differant keys example up and down keys. This sounds very simple and I managed to get it to work when I tested with only 1 score, but failed when adding the second score to the picture.
