Mar 4, 2012this is in my bullet movie clip on the timeline.[code]It all works but when i turn around it still shoots the same way im sure its something simple but i just cant work it out.

View 7 RepliesI have just read the tut on the shooting aspect of games and i tried it for myself. I altered it so that you shoot on the x axis and you shoot when the space button is pressed.My question is, how do you make the bullets shoot when the space button is releases? And or can make the bullet shoot at an interval of one second or so when the space is pressed... The bullets for me are shooting at a continuous streem and that may be a too great advantage for a user..
View 6 RepliesI have a TargetCirlce_mc which moves on "y" axis from top to bottom. And I have an arrow_mc which is on x:100 & y:200. How can I shoot an arrow exactly on the registration point of the TargetCircle_mc (automatically) while it is exactly opposite to the arrow_mc?
View 1 RepliesMy goal is to shoot a bullet everytime I click on ship. What happens, in fact, is that If I click on it once, the bullet is shot, but if I click on it twice before the first bullet is off the screen, the first bullet literally stops(it does not disappear, only stops) and the second bullet is shot.
public var ship:Ship = new Ship();
public var bullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
stage.addChild(ship);[code]...
I'm doing a simple game where you move the character using the arrow keys and shoot using the Mouse. The character rotates based on the Mouse angle. I have two problems: when I move the character, he moves once, then stops then moves again as normal. My other problem is that when I click over a MovieClip, the bullet goes to the wrong angle.My moving function:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyHandler);
function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {

How do you make a MC like shoot a gun or something when you press the spacebar?

View 6 RepliesHow would you go about making a movie clip shoot a bullet from it, but have the movieclip able to move around, like a sidescroller game...
View 2 RepliesI found a basic example of how to create something that'll shoot an object and create an arc based on an angle. I added a power Bar to it, but I noticed something bad about it.
The way it works the higher the speed is the further it goes and the faster it moves across the screen. This doesn't give me enough control. Because essentially I want fast moving projectiles but I want to also be able to shoot both near and far.
With this current system that's an impossibility.. Can anyone shed some light on how I can do this better? Here's the current way it's being done (important parts):
Code:
bullet = new Bullet;
this.stage.addChild(bullet);
bullet.speed = 1 + powerBar.scaleX * 20;

When I run the file and try to shoot the zombies, none of them are clickable. I really can't tell what I have done wrong here. Here is my code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveBullseye);
function moveBullseye(event:Event) {
bullseye_mc.x=mouseX;[code].....
THIS THREAD IS SOLVED.. Answer lies upon a website tutorial. Final Page on this Thread.So far so good, i've gotten most my as2 to as3.. And coming out good Buttons are working, The only last part im working on is upon shooting, it'll bring in the calls to Fire the missle.. (tracein the button works great).
[Code]...
This is what im trying.. But it says undefined use for addchild.. so im taking im missing somthing..
(the missile is a animation graphic i created).I have made a Missile.as to control what the missle does when its addchild is placed on stage. Problem is, (addchild isnt doing it) and im not sure if its going to shoot out the nose of the hero..
i've posted many times and got loads of responses but i dont understand how to make a bullet hole appear when you shoot an object. MSN me a [URL] to have a chat about doin the actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI havent used flash in years and I wanted to make a game. Ive made a few before but i didnt ever finish them and now i dont have them anymore. I wanna make this game where you are this man that can move around. (i can remember how to do that) and you shoot these huge exploding cats. How do i make the person shoot when you press the spacebar?How do i make the barrel of the gun follow the mouse and the bullets shoot that way?

I know it is just a mathematical calculation. I have done according X position of mouse moving. But confuse something With Y position also. So I am not getting proper solution of X & Y position Both Togather.
View 2 RepliesI have a machine that shoots canon balls into three different barrels, each on a different x axis, I need to be able to shoot at an arc into the target barrel, the target barrel will be randomly determined right before the ball is fired, the barrels will be randomly placed from stage to stage
the friction and gravity applied are constant variables, how can i determine both the correct x and y veleocity to shoot the balls out so that they end up in the correct barrel. I don't want to hard code any variables
So I've set myself a little project to build a bowman game. Everythings working smashing until the math at the point where the computer needs to figure out the power and angle to shoot the arrow back at you. What I've been working off is my knowledge from applied-math classes in school. I've been using the following formula where g is gravity, t is time (this would be in frames for flash), sx is the distance between the players, u is the initial force of the arrow and a is the angle we need to find. With a bit of moving around to seperate the angle, this becomes For my AS3 this translates to:
[Code]...
What happens is that it always fires the projectile at a very low angle that doesnt change to match the correct circumstances and I can't figure out how to get around this. Changing the force doesnt make any difference and the program will need to get around changing distances between the player so this math is pretty necessary (I think). Any math heads out there know what I should change?
how to create bullets in as3? I have a main character = hero.mc Basically I need to store the bullets in an array and have them firing from the hero. It sounds simple enough, but for some reason I can't get it to work.
So far I have this:
Quote:
private var bullets:Array;
public function createBullets() {
bullets = new Array();
[code]....
I need a code in AS2 that launches a bullet ("bullet") from the character ("hero") towards wherever you clicked the mouse.For example, if I click somewhere, I want the bullet to launch straight towards where I clicked.

In the Flash text box and before the first textcharacter, I tried pressing the ALT key and simultaneously typingin 0149. Nothing happened.A similar question was asked on this forum... the answer wago to the Character Map (where is that) or use dynamic text (Itried putting alt0149 in the dynamic text box ??? but it didn'tork).My work-around so far is to copy a similar bullet and add itto the text box. But there must be a quicker way.

I have finally got the movieclip to show up when i hit the ctrl key. but it just sits there because i have not yet added a speed. what would be the simplest way of doing this? what i want to move is a bullet.
View 2 RepliesI could create a movie clip for a bullet and create a new instance of one every time a bullet is fired. Then, I could have 100 little bullets all flying around checking collision detection...
There must be a better, more efficient way to do bullets. Anyone know of anything already out there?Otherwise, I could create a collision detection queue for the bullets, or predict where the bullet will fly (since it is usually always linear), but if the bullets become larger, the actual movie clip of the bullet may be wide enough to hit something, but the line the bullet is traveling does not necessarily hit that other object.
But is there a fast, efficient system or way of handling things already out there?
I'm working on a simple top-down zombie shooter to teach me better AS3 practices. There's one player, can shoot multiple bullets, and a certain number of zombies on screen at once, that increment by one when all of the previous ones are dead.
So, I have everything working great except for one thing: even though I'm spawning multiple bullets, and they go in the correct direction at the right speed, only one moves at a time.
Here's the code for spawning bullets:
Code:
// shoot - check to see if the gun can shoot, then shoot it
private function shoot():void
{
[code]....
I have a similarly structured pair of functions for the zombies, and they chase after the player just fine. If I trace a bullet's name when it collides with a zombie, it always returns 0. I've tried changing the number of bullets that can be spawned, but it remains the same.
Also, the moveBullets function is called from gameLoop(), which is itself called from an event listener for ENTER_FRAME. The movePlayer and moveZombies functions I have are also called from gameLoop.
I've got a mouse controlled person who fires circle bullets up towards oncoming enemies. but since I duplicated them, only the first bullet fired works as it is the only one that has the right instance name. What I mean is: The bullet is instanced bullet. When it is duplicated to be fired, it changes to bullet1, bullet2 etc. The hittest script on the enemies only recognize bullet, and therefore ignores all other shots except the first. Is there anyway of making it so it recognizes all shots?
