If you take a look at this site Game 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 RepliesI am trying to create a sort of RPG. I currently have four way directional movement working, but I'm having difficulty figuring out code to make the character stop moving when he touches a wall, and them move again when you press a different key.
Normally i wouldn't find this difficult, except most of the walls are angled, not straight lines. I'm using hitTestPoint for collision detection, and that works just fine. I just don't know good code for making the character stop.

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 5 RepliesI 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'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(load){speed=10;
}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 have 2 Movieclips, box and car, and I want them to bounce backwards 10 pixels when they hit. I have a little understanding of hit test but do not know how to make something happen when hit test occurs. And it would be great if you could make the movieclips "move" back 10 pixels instead of automatically jumping 10 pixels back.

View 0 RepliesI used the following script (tutorial) to add the movement functions to the up and down buttons, which have instance names "moveUp" and '"moveDown".The thumbnails are in a vertical looking MC named "rocket".I have no problem scrolling up and down, but I want to limit the functionality of the buttons when the rocket is between coordinates Y=0 and Y=-1200How can I add that to this script?
Code:
moveUp.onPress = function() {

This is the URL for an awesome game. I have decided I would like to extend my flash knowledge by making a game like this. Now I have the movement downpat, but using hittests, thats how to create the game so you can not walk in certain places/areas. how to use hittest and give me the code for stopping movement when you hit a wall.
Using Flash 8 - AS2. I have a movie clip that moves from side to side based on the position of the mouse. If the mouse is right of center, the movie clip moves left, the speed based on the distance of the pointer to the center. Conversely, the same for the other direction.
Here's the AS on the clip event:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(load){
speed=10;
}onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x += (_root.center-_root._xmouse)/speed;
}
(the speed variable is just a simple method to slow down my motion.)
Now what I need it to do and can't figure out out is this:
> How to get it to have upper and lower limits of motion.
> How to get it to slow down and stop at the upper and lower limits
> How to get it to stop at the limit until the mouse triggers movement back in the other direction
Logically, it could be said in this manner:
1) Move the clip right or left based on mouse position.
2) If clip _x nears the maximum (or minimum), change speed as a function of the distance remaining to the extent - in order to slow down the movement.
3) When clip _x reaches the maximum (or minimum), stop motion and permit no further motion in that direction.
I'm having trouble making a scrolling "portfolio" for a website.
Basically, when the mouse is over the left arrow, it moves right & visa versa. The problem i'm having is that I can't stop it when the mouse leaves the arrow, and it just continues moving.
It's a graphic thats moving left & right with a mask over the top.
//identitiy is the image moving
function left(){
movement=10;

I am proud of myself for getting this far, but I cannot figure the rest.I have a movie clip that moves from side to side based on the position of the mouse.

I ended up here because of the bouncing tutorial, and for awhile there I thought I was onto the solution, but I cannot get it retrofitted to work with my mouse position stuff.
Ive got a code to move a MC on the main stage together with the mouse, in the the X axis,. difficult to explain. But now the client wants that this MC movement works only when the Y position of the mouse is over the 300 px. I thought I need a hit test or something elese. Please help. Here is the whole code.

I have a program that load a lot of images, but when there too much loading going on, it freezes and jerks the hell out of my program. I have tried a lot of tracing from beginning to the end of the loading process, which things looks fine and behaves as I expected. However, every time the program jerks it outputs couple hundreds of these "[SWF] - xxx bytes after decompression" message in my console (almost all at once), and it came out of nowhere, when I tried to bracket my image loading progress with trace statements like putting a starting trace and a ending trace, these messages does not appear inside, its just appears randomly. So, my question is : does anybody know how and when does this messages occurs exactly?
View 0 RepliesI'm having problems with actions script in Flash 8.I'm trying to make a little side scrolling fighting game, i've got a character and an enemy which follows him and has an attack animation when close, but I can't get the health bar to decrease when the hitting animation occurs while in contact with the hero.[code]I put this script on an invisible square which appears during the attack animation, HERO is my hero's instance name and HP the health bar's. Whats suppose to happen is that the enemy goes for the attack animation which is of hitting the hero whith an axe, and when the invisible box hits the hero at that moment, the hp should go down..
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an AS3 slider where the idea is if the y axis of the slider reaches a certain area, the movie clip 'numbers' disappears and a trace statement is executed. However, that's not happening at all. Not to mention when I scroll the arrow movie clip outside of its' area, the movie clip continues to slide up and down even though it shouldn't. I've attached the .fla and the AS3 code is below.
import flash.display.Sprite;import flash.display.DisplayObject;import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var arrow_mc:MovieClip = new arrow();addChild(arrow_mc);arrow_mc.x = 110;arrow_mc.y = 316;
[code].....
As the title says: Stop object from moving further when collision occurs.
Right now I'm trying to make a sliding puzzle. So far I have a block which I can click and drag around, and a few walls which are the boundaries. What I'm trying to do is make an area where the block can slide within the boundaries. So when you try to drag the block into an direction it will stop, whether you got mouse_down or mouse_up. My script so far
Code:
stop();
//Sliding Blocks
MCBlock1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
[Code]....
Also I need to use a lot of boundaries, so if there's a way to apply this script easily to several objects
For some odd reason I'm getting this compiler error whenever I have a MovieClip that contains text in my library. Not really sure how to go about fixing this. It works fine once the MovieClip is removed.

what "this.stageRef = stageRef" is actually doing. I used it because it was in the KeyObject class description that I have downloaded from Senocular.
I 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
