then you will see that when you hit the walls or boundrys you "bounce" off them. I have accomplished stopping movement when hittest occurs but how shall I get the car to "bounce" off the walls. It would be great if you could supply the full code as I am not a great coder.
View 1 RepliesWhen I bounce a ball off the walls of the stage using the following technique.[code]Not only is the ball jumpy and skippy. but after so often it begins to go either in a vertal motion y = 5; x = 0; or a horzontal motion x = 5, y = 0. And stays that way. Why is it that the first method works fine but the other method works terrible. Could it be because the Math.cos and Math.sin returns very large decimals.I really prefer to use the second method.

View 3 RepliesI might not even be approaching this the right way, but I'm trying to make a game where a ship flies through randomly generated tunnels. I'm very new at this, but I felt my question was a bit too advanced for the "Programming Beginners" section.So, what I came up with was two black vertical rectangles, ~50 px wide, ~300 px high and ~100 px apart vertically, as one movie clip. I want this clip to be duplicated infinitely, stacked to the right of eachother, and shifted by a random number between 0-10 pixels up or down.This is the code I used to create just one copy of the walls, hoping it would shift over to x=140:
Code:
for (var i=0; i<200; i++) {
duplicateMovieClip("walls", "walls_copy", 1 );

I really didn't want to have to post this question on any forums because it would be hard to explain, but I have spent far too many hours trying to figure this out so I have no choice.his is what I want to do: I want to have a little ball follow the mouse but not go into any walls at all. Here is a swf of my current attempts at doing this:As you can see, if there is a Y obstruction but not an X one, the ball will still follow mouseX, and vice-versa. However, there are some glitchy limitations as to having the ball follow mouseX when there is a Y obstruction and it must go over some hills to get to mouseX.Also, the code currently only checks to see if the four points around the ball are sinking into the walls, but it would be nice if it used more complex sphere calculations, or maybe 8 points

I am trying to program a Flash Game that utilizes all four directions to move the character. (i.e. Pressing up moves the character north, down - south, etc.) The character in the game does not actually move, but the background moves to simulate movement. I need to figure out how to go about programming the walls, though. I have code that recognizes collision, but what is the best way to do it? This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,handleCollision);
function handleCollision( e:Event ):void{
if(hero.hitTestObject(wall))
{

I want to stop the movieclips movement when it hits a wall (another movieclip). The example below works, but after the collision the movieclip 'blocks' all movement to the left...
For now the example with the leftArrow key;
variables to check the key, if it's hitting the walls and if it's moving or not:
var leftArrow:Boolean;
var speed:int = 10;
var hitting:Boolean;

I tried almost everything to make my character stop when it detects a wall. It only works for UP and RIGHT or DOWN and LEFT but not all 4 directions, so only one y movement and one x movement. So I decided to make 4 functions, one for each direction. But then it only works when the left key is pressed and hits a wall.
What do I have to do to make the collision detection stop the character from moving in all 4 directions?
var leftArrow:Boolean;
var upArrow:Boolean;
var rightArrow:Boolean;

I have set up a player (movie script) with basic movement, and some walls which the player cannot pass through (using a hitTest). But whenever the player moves into one of the walls in the X direction, the player skips through the wall and halfway up the stage.
View 9 RepliesI make this simple system to simulate a colision of a block in "walls" and bounce like a pong ball. To use drag the orange square and release to start the movement.

View 3 Repliesurl...I was wondering if it's possible to setup an object to not just bounce off the walls, but other MCs that I put on the stage??I've included an example. I want the ball to be able to bounce off the ramp.You can "throw" the ball around the screen and it will bounce around.How can I get it to bounce off the slope without using too much CPU? Would hitTest() be too processor-intensive?
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to write a hittest that will work for rounded walls on my RPG. But I've been epic phailing.
Heres my code:

}onClipEvent(enterFrame){if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){this._y-=speed;this.gotoAndStop(5);
}if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){this._y+=speed;
this.gotoAndStop(6);}
if(Key.isDo wn(Key.RIGHT)){this._x+=speed;this.gotoAndStop(7);
}if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){this._x-=speed;this.gotoAndStop(8);}
I posted a bit earlier about some problems I had with a game I'm trying to do.[URL].. My first and main problem is that the ennemies are going through the walls. I can do a hiTest like with the player so that the collision is detected, but I don't know how to make the ennemy change direction. I thought it would be quite simpler if the ennemies could not move simultaneously on the x and y axis, but don't know how to do it. (then they would only need to make a 90 degrees turn)
Second problem is the hitTest for detecting collisions with the ennemies. It seems like I'm not able to do it. There is the part which I thought would be good at the end of the script in commentary. Third problem, which is the least important in my eyes is that we see the ennemies even if the "flashlight" is not aimed towards them.

i have just came across the tutorial with physics/bouncing ball - so far i have encountered no problems in understanding it, but just a question:how do i stop the ball bouncing? do i have to equal it to a certain value or just drop in another if/else statement, because now the ball seems to bounce forever, since it gets every time multpilicated by a negative number.
View 2 RepliesI've got this ball that bounces around the screen. There are a bunch more that are made with the duplicate movie clip command. I want them to bounce off eachother, as well as the walls. The problem is, I cant just put the code on the original ball because then balls want to bounce off themselves which creates problems. So my question is, is there some kind of loop I can use to make it so each duplicate ball will bounce off the others but not itself?
View 5 RepliesI followed the tutorial about gravity, with bouncing, and I wanted to figure out how to test when it has stopped bouncing.
What I am trying to get at is say I had the objet bounce from a point, then when it has stopped bouncing, move left or right. Think of a person dropped from a plane with a parachute. He has to wait until he is firmly on the ground before he can start moving...thats what I want to do.
im was wondering if anyone knows the script for a ball bouncing off a paddle. I want the ball to bounce off the paddle in different directions depending on:
1) which side of the paddle it hits
2) which direction it came from
Ive only got this so far : script for the paddle
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if (this.hitTest(_parent.ball)) //if this movieclip hits the movieclip 'ball'
tellTarget(_root.ball) //tell the ball to:[code]....

I have an image and I want it to have a reflection and to apply an effect onMouseOver so that image bounces (like a rubber ball) until it stops.I found this example (http:url]....)that does exactly what i want (except I want it to bounce just one time per mouse over), but this is for Flex and I cant manage to translate it to Flash.
View 2 RepliesI have created a flash AS3 file with two movieclips. One is a ball (ball_mc) and a wall (wall_mc). The ball bounces around off the outer walls of the stage, in horizontal lines.
The ball also changes direction if it bounces off the wall. However its not bouncing off the wall in the right direction?
Code:
var dx:Number=3; //the amount the ball will move horizontally each frame
var dy:Number=5; //the amount the ball will move vertically each frame
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,moveBall); // call the function moveBall every frame

I am currently making a brick breaker game, so I want to make the ball bounce from the paddle. My paddle's name is pwn and the ball's name is ball.

this._x += 4;

I just want the ball to bounce somewhere else other than stopping the ball at the place. I already made sure the paddle can move and the boundaries block the paddle from leaving the stage. So can someone give me the codes (please simple for me to copy-paste) for having me to bounce the ball some opposite direction or whatsoever. Like once the ball touches the paddle, it reflects somewhere else at the same speed and a different direction without any errors.
