How would I go about doing this but not directly like 360. like lets say my mouse is to the left of the character the character would than face its left frame I made for him like lets say his left frame is frame 2.

I have one character which can face several directions: t, b, l, r, tl, tr, bl, br.The type of camera is top-down 2d
T stands for Top, which is when he is looking to the top of the screen
B = Bottom
L = Left
R = Right
The character can look to other directions, like the Top-Left of the screen, which is tl
How do I calculate which direction he should look to if I only have one variable, rotation?
I have my as2 code for my game im making so far the char can jump and move left and right. make him face the mouse like lets say my mouse is to the x- of my character than I would want his left facing movie clip (which I havent made yet) to be facing that way etc. where I could start heres what I have:
Actionscript Code:
onClipEvent (load) {var ground:MovieClip = _root.ground;var grav:Number = 0;var gravity:Number = 2;var speed:Number = 7;var maxJump:Number = -12;var touchingGround:Boolean = false;}onClipEvent (enterFrame) {_y += grav;grav +=
[Code].....
That's the movement code that lets me move left and right and jump with gravity
I'm trying to accomplish something with flash but I'm having some problems, if not a solution I'm hoping someone can tell me a method and what I should read up on to do this: I want to have an image on the stage that has a gap the shape of a face in the middle of it, I'd then like to put a webcam feed behind it so people can line their face up in the gap and press a button to take a picture. (I've managed to put the webcam on the stage and take the picture but can't work out how to put it behind an image). Then I cant quite work out how I'd put the face onto a character I've drawn.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a top down shooter and I'm encountering some interesting code lag with the function I'm using to make the player face the mouse.
Code:
//The function is called through a ENTER_FRAME listener.
//mX & mY are the current position of the mouse.
public function facePoint(mX, mY){
if(this.visible){
this.rotation = (-Math.atan2((this.x - mX),(this.y - mY))) * 180 / Math.PI;
}}
If I hold down two movement keys and then spin the mouse around the character really fast, it builds up some kind of buffer that sends the character out of control for a few seconds, even after you've released the keys. Just discovered that reducing the quality to low removes the issue entirely... so its a graphics problem. How to avoid this?
I'm trying to get a MC to rotate to face the mouse using tween:
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicks);
var tween:Tween;
function clicks(e:MouseEvent):void {
var dx:Number = mouseX-mc.x;
var dy:Number = mouseY-mc.y;
var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;
tween = new Tween(mc,"rotation",null,mc.rotation,angle,5);
}
While this works fine, there are certain clicks which make the MC pick the longer route to rotate.

View 1 Repliesi was wondering if any of you out there could tell me how it is possible to make a movieclip of a character and when the character is dragged about the screen by the curser, how do you make the characters arms and legs swing about in a realistic fashion.

View 5 Repliesi want to make the character in my flash game make a jump when the player presses a key,e.g. 'space',even the player release the key instantly,the character will still finish the complete jump process.

For examples purpose make the MC: arrow face the MC: target.

View 1 RepliesSo I'm designing a game for my flash class final, and I want to have my character spin based on mouse movements. So if I move the mouse to the left, character spins counterclockwise, to the right, clockwise. But I also need to have things spin with the character, like the gun he's holding. And if the gun shoots projectiles, how would I keep the direction of the projectiles constant with the character's direction? Also, I'm using wasd for walking, then the mouse for directional control, so how do I make it so W doesn't make the character go down in Y value, but it makes the character travel at a velocity in whatever direction it's facing (so if the character is facing like northeast, pressing W will make him walk northeast. Then pressing A facing the same direction would make him strafe northwest)?

Is it possible to make 3D character customization for game in flash? Any ideas, tips about that?. In 2D it's very simple but i don't know where i should begin in 3D.

i want the up key to be pressed once, the down key to be hold on to and when released it goes back, and the right and left to be hold on to and when released goes back to 1.
I want a make a game where you get to customize your character and that is the character that you play with the whole game.
