I've got a function here that spawns an enemy for me and I'm calling it in a loop every few seconds or so that it creates a new enemy every second. This all works great.What I want to do though, is to make the enemies collide with each other. How would I go about doing this? I've tried using hitTestm but it detects that each enemy is hitting itself which is always.I've attached my code.
View 2 RepliesI'm an actionscript beginner and trying to write a class to make the 'enemies' follow the 'player' (shown below). I'm trying to write it such that it takes two MovieClips as arguments, and moves the first one toward the second one. When I import the Class try to use it in Main.as by typing " var followPlayer:FollowPlayer = new FollowPlayer(fishMov0, player);", I get the following error:
"ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on jab.enemy::FollowPlayer/followPlayer(). Expected 2, got 1."

as from title above, minimap where enemies spawn and can be shown on the minimap and enemies warp like player_mc do. ps: i'm new to this forum. attached files below
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to eventually reach an end result in which you control an object with your mouse (which has worked so far) and other objects on the stage gravitate towards you as you move near them, just like they would in real life with physics and whatnot in space. Basically at the moment I'm just trying it with a single object gravitating towards an object anchored to the cursor. It is sort of working, but not really, when the x and y positions of object2 get near those of object1 it breaks and flips everywhere.
Here is my code thus far:
ActionScript Code:
onEnterFrame = function (){
Mouse.hide();
startDrag(atom,true);
[code]....
note the ax and ay variables could be avoided entirely probably and you could just do atom2._x -= 1 / dx; but i had created them when experimenting earlier and left them.It is very important that the object accelerates as it gets closer to the cursor, and that it is hardly affected when it is far away (again just like it would be in space).
I'm using Flash 8, and I'm hoping to work on a platforming game. I'm pretty familiar with programming in general, but Flash is a little confusing for me.What I have at the moment kind of works for generic collisions, but my problem is that it works too well. My player symbol collides with absolutely everything, on every layer, even including text.
Right now my file only has two movie clips, Player, and Bounds, and there's an instance of Player named player_1, and an instance of Bounds named Wall.
For collision checking, I used the following if ( _root.Wall._parent.hitTest( ... ) ) { /*do stuff*/ } and this works well enough, I collide with anything, given that I check in the right place. I'm happy with the way that this works, but is there any way I can confine the collisions to the layer the symbol is currently on? I'd like to design the levels, and just draw the foreground graphics on the layer above, and the background graphics on the layer below.
Using trace, _root.Wall._parent returns level0, which I'm going to guess is maybe the scene? I'm assuming collisions aren't really meant to be handled this way, so if I have to totally redo them, I'll understand, but it would be most convenient for me if I can confine the collisions to only a single layer.
at the end of this tutorial it talks about adding links to the buttons created. I did what it said to do but the two buttons keep canceling themselves out if I place them on top of eachother.

I have a MC (a ball) with this AS on it:
[Code]...
This bounces the ball off each 'wall'. how to add more balls (using actionscript - ie not copying and pasting on the stage) and to make the balls bounce off eachother too?
I'm running a HitTestPoint to detect when two of my mc's collide, but I don't want them to be able to go right through each other. Someone suggested I find the x,y coords of the moving object when the collision occurs, then update that mc's coords to this x,y each time a collision occurs. I've been Googling but came up empty. Below is my code
private function __checkHit($evt:Event):void {
if (this.coin_mc.hitTestObject(target)) {
if (!hitting) {[code].....
I have a number of random balls bouncing around the stage. What I am having difficulty with is making them bounce off each other when they run into each other. The balls bounce off the walls just fine, but I can't seem to figure out the hitTest thing.

I am trying to achieve something similar to the flash movie in the below link. [URL]. As we drag the points of the triangle, the coordinates labels, ( A(1,2)) are properly aligned and arrange themselves so that they never collide with each other and never falls inside the triangle.

Not only am I a newcomer to these forums but I'm also very much a newcomer to ActionScript, so I hope you will have some patience if you are able to provide me with a crystal clear answer to my problem and I'm still a little lost! Basically, I have made a flash game where the player moves around on screen and tries to collect a little ball. There a timer on the ball that counts down to 5. One of two things can happen from here: 1. If thetimer reaches 0 before the player collects the ball, the ball is moved to a new random location, the players "lives" count goes down by 1 and the timer goes back up to 5. 2. If the player collects the ball before the timer reaches 0, then the player's "score" count goes up by 1 and the ball moves to a new location with the timer going back up to 5.

Somehow the collision does work as expected. Either they never move at all and "collided" was traced, or they'll continue moving and never collide when I tried swapping values around. Is there something i'm missing in my logic??? My box-box and circle-circle collision are working fine.

I just started Flash like 2 weeks ago, so im not very good. Im making a game where you pick a character, and shoot pigs. Every pig you shoot adds 500 points to your score. Problem is only one pig works. If i copy and paste that pig and his code (as2), when i shoot one pig both pigs explode, giving me 1000 points. How can i make it so that when i shoot one pig, one pig explodes, and i get 500 points?[code]...

_root._x -= (_root._x + (_x - 275)) / 5;
and when i changed it to this:
_root._x = -_x;
the last enemy appears!but i want it to be like first one.but it doesnt work.also, i found that if i placed the hero close to the last enemy, the last enemy appears.the _root._x refer to the stage and the _x refer to the hero.i found that if i remove this code(the gravity in the enemy class):
_y += grav;
grav += gravity;

This one concept has been bugging me for days now and I can't seem to solve it. You see, I'm trying to rotate my enemies along an uneven surface. So far, they follow along it perfectly, using my hitTestPoint collision checks.But I don't know how to rotate the collision points and thus rotate the movieclip along the curve so it remains clipped to the ground like in Fancy Pants Adventure 2 or a tanks game.Here is what it looks like right now
