ActionScript 2.0 :: Bullet Holes With A Lifespan?
Jul 29, 2005
I am trying to create a bullet hole effect when you click the mouse down.I want a bullet hole to appear where you click the mouse and to stay there, and then when you have > 10 bullet holes on the stage i want to earliest ones to start to fade out.
Here is my code so far:
[AS]
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
i++;
this.duplicateMovieClip("BulletHole"+i, i+1);
[code]...
However this just duplicates the movie clip and then when you click again it disapears straight away.

I'm currently making my own shoot'em up game where the player can switch between two player types which will fire their own bullet type in this case, squares and circles. I've setup the player switch function via pressing "space" button (switching between the two player types) and the default bullet type is "squares" and I'm not sure to approach the coding with changing the bullet type to "circles".I've written 2 classes for the bullet and player setup:Player Class: Creates instance of bullet on screen and enables the switch player type function
Bullet Class: Enables bullet properies and bullet types Player Class: Code:function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {if (event.keyCode == 32) //// pressing/holding "space bar" to function

I'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that the bullet always comes from the gun.
My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.

I use AS3's drawing api to draw filled shapes, but when they overlap, instead of filling the overlapped area, it becomes clear again, with no fill.
My question is, how can i get rid of this behavior, i need to just fill everything, is there a way to somehow "flatten" the shapes?

How would I go about cutting a transparent hole into a Graphic and leaving a stroke around the hole I just made (similar to if I had used the Eraser tool on the Flash canvas, minus the stroke)? My first instinct tells me to draw a circle over the spot I want to "cut out" with a stroke of an arbitrary width and an alpha-less fill, but if I were to click-and-drag this hole - or simply make another overlapping hole for that matter (again, as if I were using the Eraser tool), the stroke would definitely not appear the way I want it to. If anyone is familiar with how the terrain is blown away in the 2D Worms series, that is more or less what I am going for.

I've got a continuous plane (2-D) containing polygonal obstacles. I am uniformly sampling the plane at discrete positions to create a uniform grid of points. The grid does not have points where obstacles lie (i.e. holes where ever an obstacle is) as shown in the image below.[url]...

I need draw rectangle with two circle holes inside. The problem is in circles interception. I want them to join together and cut from background, but they seems to be XORed:
At first I tried drawRect and DrawCircle:
graphics.beginFill(0, 0.5);
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, width, height);
graphics.drawCircle(width/2, height/2, 50);
[Code].....
here getCirclePath returns object with points to draw polygon which looks like circle. Also I tried different combinations of GraphicsPathWinding constants, but no luck.
how to draw two intersecting circle holes in graphics?

I have an array of say, food products. The array is full and fully visible at first. I have a filtering system, by which I can eliminate, one at a time, a certain category. So let's say that I disable the "fruits" category. The fruits disappear and I'm left with "holes" in the array. Up to this point it's all good, I can handle it. The problem is that now I want to close these "holes" by moving the remaining items around. And I have no idea how to calculate/formulate the logic of this movement.

I have two questions about drawing shapes in action script 3.0, using graphics class (flash.display.Graphics):Question 1.When I draw some more complicated shape consisted of a few simpler shapes (i.e. two circles), and the shapes overlaps, the overlapped region is inverted (is rendered as a "hole"). Is there any way to avoid that?This is simple example of this behaviour:
var oClip : MovieClip = new MovieClip();oClip.graphics.beginFill( 0x000000, 0.5 );oClip.graphics.drawCircle( 150, 200, 70 );oClip.graphics.drawCircle( 250, 200, 100 );oClip.graphics.endFill();this.addChild( oClip );
I know,I can do it using separate beginFill/endFill sections for each circle:
var oClip : MovieClip = new MovieClip();oClip.graphics.beginFill( 0x000000, 0.5 );oClip.graphics.drawCircle( 150, 200, 70 [code]....
but then when I use alpha blending, the shapes are blended separatelly. Unfortunatelly, this is not correct for that what I want to do.I need to draw one beginFill/endFill session but without "holes" in the final shape, is it possible?Question 2.Is there an action script counterpart of the Flash menu option: Modify->Break Apart ?

I've been working with Flash for over 3 years, but I can't figure this one out. I've got a body of text, half of which are bulleted points designated by <li></li>. It's loaded into a html-ised dynamic textbox.
[Code]....
It displays fine as is. However, if I make the box selectable, and select any part of the bulleted list, the ENTIRE body of text turns into a giant bulleted list, including the non-bulleted portion at the beginning. I've managed to replicate this bug with Flash 8 and CS3, using a variety of flas made from scratch.

I'm creating a small car game where you shoot from the car, so I've made a bullet animation with this code inside the mocieclip:
Actionscript Code:
shellNo = 0;function shellEject(){shell_holder.attachMovie("shellAnim", shellNo, shellNo);shellNo++;}
But the problem is that the car is moving when you controll it so the bullet stays on the same position and I want it to follow the car and start from the same position as the car whereever it goes.

I am playing around with ActionScript 3 and trying to build a very simple prototype for a video game (top-down action/shooter) and realized that handling bullets is a little bit more challenging than I originally imagined.
In order to get a fairly decent "flight" of the bullet between the character and the target, I ended up using a highly modified version of Bresenham's Line Algorithm to determine the flight path of the bullet and then merely draw a tiny flash.geom.Rectangle object at the appropriate place on that "flight path" during the draw-frame stage of my application.
I haven't noticed any real problems, but I just can't imagine this being the best way to handle bullets in a Flash game. I imagine that once there are multiple enemy players on the screen and lots of bullets flying around (especially once I code in automatic weapons) that things could come grinding to a halt.
What am I missing here? I'm not really a game developer and so most of the things I'm doing I've just "made up" on the spot, but I can't figure out how to effectively handle bullets in Flash.
EDIT: As requested, here is "my" Bresenham code. I say "my" in quotes, because I basically ripped this from somewhere on the internet. My changes to the algorithm basically involve the lines at the bottom. The original implementation would find the path from player character to the target, except that every once in a while (and I wasted a little bit of time trying to figure this out but never got anywhere) it will generate the path from the target to the player. To "fix" this, I ended up just checking the first X/Y values from the path array and reversing the array if those values didn't match the X/Y values of my player character.

i just made a 2d shooting game lately. I got a question, how do you make a collision between the bullet and the monters? Here's my code:
Code:
enemy_mc.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
if (bullet_mc.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)) [code]...
But it doesn't seem to destroy/remove the monster when it hits or even say 'true' on the text on the upper left corner.

So the problem is basicly this: It all works just fine, but when the bullet hits the target it gets destroyed (this is ok) but also any bullet that was shoot before it (meaning also: with a lower y) gets destroyed aswell wich is anoying. Here's the code (left the comments so you can find your way around easier)
Code:
stop();//add a stop function too!
enemyspeed =1
life=3
var gameOver:Boolean = false;

I found a tutorial on the internet and have begun toying with it. I figured out what all the segments did and how they worked and effected the game (mostly through trial and error...) once i figured out what EXACTLY i had i started making changes.
-What i want - once the bullet hits a monster OR goes out side of the range of the gun it disappears and another shot can be fired (which is done automatically via my script no user input needed)
-What i have - when the bullet goes off the page (x>550, x<0, Y>400, Y<0) it disappears and another shot can be fired... obviously this is problematic to game play...

Take a look at this scenario, I have two characters, one shoots two bullets on the direction of the other character, the bullets are fired instantly and travel at infinity speed, how to detect a collision? Here's an image to illustrate the problem: The red bullet would clearly miss, but the green bullet would hit, how to perform this kind of collision test?
