Flash :: Tower Defense - Detecting If The Bullet Hits The Enemies
Apr 22, 2011I am creating a tower defense game and I want to make a tower that shoots a bullet and every enemy that the bullet hits is damaged. The bullet can hurt multiple units. My problem is detecting if the bullet hits the enemies. Right now, I have the enemies in an array. With other towers, when an enemy is in range, the tower fires and when it hits its original target, it causes damage to that target.
For the tower I want to make, it will shoot the bullet the maximum range every time and I need it to damage every unit it hits on the way to that final destination.
Tower Defense Game Bullet Disappear
Mar 16, 2010I 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...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tower Defense Type Game - Object Access?
Feb 14, 2012I am hammering out a Tower Defense type game. I'm starting to design my custom unit mechanics. I've used numerous other tutorials for the framework here (largely one mans blog - credited in my AS3 file..) I want when a unit dies, that it runs a function - checks a field I've created within the unit called a 'tag' - and depending on that do other things. From within the kill() function I successfully call my infantryDeath() function, and I've verified within kill() it's recognizing the dead objects tag. I've verified the entry into infantryDeath() and that the tag is still the same.
Here's the problem:
function infantryDeath(creep){
//inGameMessage("infantryDeath() successfully called"); <-- works
//inGameMessage("Unit died with ID: " + creep.tag); <-- properly shows the ID of the "creep" it received
inGameMessage(this); <-- prints out _level0 (the id for the level itself)
if (creep.tag = c1) <-- the unit with this tag dies, and triggers this block successfully{
[Code] .....
I have no clue why the object I'm supposedly working with changes just by virtue of being within the "if" block. If I pass an object into a function shouldn't manipulating that object remain constant within that function?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Platform Game 0 Can't Get Enemies To Face Hero
Nov 24, 2010I'm making a platform game. The hero can move around, but the enemies are stationary. My problem is that I want the enemies to face the hero. The first enemy behaves correctly, but the subsequent enemies only behave correctly if I kill all the preceding enemies. I have added the hero and the enemies as Objects and put the enemies into an array called enemies. Both the hero and enemy objects have a direction property and an mc property that refers to their movie clips. This for loop gets called every frame.
for(var i:int = 0; i < enemies.length; i++)
{//face hero
if(hero.mc.x < enemies[i].mc.x) enemies[i].direction = -1;
else if(hero.mc.x > enemies[i].mc.x) enemies[i].direction = 1;
enemies[i].mc.scaleX = enemies[i].direction;}
ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Platform Game Random Enemies?
Feb 22, 2011we just recently defended our graduation project which is a platform game like mario. one of the modifications suggested by our panelists is to make level 1 generate random places for enemies and coins after one of them said that mario was a stupid game because you already know where the enemies are, the powerups, etc. i said i'll give it a go and see what i can do. but recently i realized that i havent played any platform game that generates random places for the enemies, coins and other objects. it is only in rpg games like ragnarok that i have seen enemies spawning at random places.

View 5 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Game Project - Placing Unique Instances Of Enemies On Screen
Mar 23, 2010I've been working on a uni project. Basically, enemies are placed on the screen using a timer variable and using the attachMovie to put them on the screen. This is an example of the code I'm using:
Actionscript Code:
var enemies;var timer;
function onLoad(){
enemies = [];
timer = 0;}
function onEnterFrame(){timer++;
if (timer == 10) {
Timer = 0;
var enemy = _root.attachMovie("mc_1", "mc_1",
_root.getNextHighestDepth());
enemies.push(enemy);
}}
This works and places them on the screen, (and into the array) but by putting them into the array, I thought that each one would be a unique instance of the movieclip which doesn't always seem to be the case. If I shoot one of the enemies, sometimes another enemy will explode (or both of them) and other times I will knock into one enemy and another one will be the one who get's knocked.
For my collision code I'm using this:
Actionscript Code:
for(var i in _root.player.enemies){
if (some arguments..)
_root.player.enemies[i].health -= 10;
}}
The explosion code also uses a similar for loop. Should I look at another method to place unique instances of the enemies on the screen?
