ActionScript 3.0 :: Making An Enemy Follow The Player?
May 27, 2010
I've been working on a game for my AS3 class that involves enemies randomly spawning from all direction and following the player in an attempt to collide with him. I can get the enemies to spawn from one direction as well as move in a single direction but I can't get the spawning from all sides or the following the player around to work.
I've been at this for a couple of weeks now and followed several suggestions and tutorials (including one from here) with no success and this thing is due by tonight . Here's the code from my enemy class. All of the code of the game is done through AS files with no coding done within movie clips or on the timeline.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
[code]....

I am working on a first person shooter game, however i dont know how to make all the enemies that get created, to all move towards the character every few seconds then moving randomly for a few seconds, with the frequency increasing as the enemies move closer to the player. Getting that part is easy enough, the problem is i dont know how to make each enemy be able to do anything really independantly. Since my game works in a an external AS file, i cant access any of the class variables from within the movieclip of the enemies. Is there a way i can do this?
i already have code which rotates and moves the enemy towards a given point, as well as random movement, what i dont know how to is access the variables of the main class from the movieclips of the enemies, and vice versa ive found a way to do this, however it means i have to out the movement code within the enemies, as well as collision code, and that just laggs the hell out of the game when there is 5 or more enemies.

I am trying to make the stage follow the player in AS3 (basically, so the 'view' follows the player and he remains in the center of the screen throughout).Here is what I tried:
Code:
this.x = player.x-stage.width/2;
this.y = player.y+stage.height/2;

I'm an actionscript beginner and trying to write a class to make the 'enemies' follow the 'player' (shown below). I'm trying to write it such that it takes two MovieClips as arguments, and moves the first one toward the second one. When I import the Class try to use it in Main.as by typing " var followPlayer:FollowPlayer = new FollowPlayer(fishMov0, player);", I get the following error:
"ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on jab.enemy::FollowPlayer/followPlayer(). Expected 2, got 1."

Recently I've been developing in a certain way that i'm not sure is wise, so I thought I would ask the guru's here for guidance. Let's say I'm developing a game with an "Enemy" class. Recently I've been making references to all the subclips in the Enemy animation and holding them in my class as variables, so for an Enemy called "Troll" i might have variables in the class saved as:
private var _walkAnimation:MovieClip;
private var _runAnimation:MovieClip;
private var _attackAnimation:MovieClip;
and then reference these whenever I need to flip between the animation states for that Enemy instead of using getChildAt() or getChildByName() to find the relevant subclip every time I wanted to reference it. I was once told saving CPU was more important than conserving memory in cases such as this, but I wanted to make sure this was true. Your thoughts?
(I call a dispose() or destroy() function when I remove enemies so the references can be Garbage Collected)

I'm making a game and have zombies spawning on a stage using math.random()
What I want to achieve is their health bars follow them above their heads, However they aren't spawning when I use:
ActionScript Code:
public function iceZombieSpawn(e:TimerEvent) {
iceZombie = new IceZombie(Math.random()*stage.stageWidth, -100); // Create new ice zombie at random x position (width, height, health, hitCount)
[Code].....
They do work when I specify a specific coordinate however won't get the desired result.

I have a line that is 800 pixels long. The line is a gradual curve, that gets kinda steep at the end. I want this ball to go along the line. How do I make the ball move to the right, and stay on top of the line. All I have now is...
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x +=35;
}
Now I need to add something to make it follow the line. The instance name of the line is.... "line" without the quotes of course.

Say I am moving an object around on the stage, walking from point A to B across the stage. I want to make the object the center, so the stage is centered on the object, so when I walk from point A to B the stage moves with me.

I know how to make something follow the cursor (e.g. a ball that moves where your cursor does). However, I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to do what I need to for an animation, namely make eyes follow a cursor.Here's the situation: I need to make a graphic (the eye in the middle of the eyeball) follow the cursor (i.e. look up, look left, look in any number of diagonal directions) depending on where the user moves the cursor. But the eyes, obviously, need to stay put in one static spot and move in a very limited region (the entire white part of the eye, but not beyond it).
Furthermore, the eyes start out staring at the user. How do I additionally make them dart to the edges where they'll be looking around once the cursor is moved?

I am currently making a game, similar to StreetFighter,where enemies will come on from the side and you fight them. Now i have the character movement and attacks fully scripted, and have made an enemy, and i make it move towards the character using:
onClipEvent(load){
movethy = 7;
scale = _xscale;[code].....
Now this works quite well and the enemy stops when it hits the character, but the problem is, it wont complete a full attack, instead it plays a few frames of the attack MC. Now i have every attack in a different MC (Frames 2-5) inside the Enemy MC. How can i make the enemy pause when it reaches the character, then choose an attack to use? From there i'll be on my way and can script the hittest and so forth.

I have 10 movieclips on stage called mc1 mc2 etc ect and then I have one button which makes one of the mc's alpha = 0;The only thing is I would love the evenlistener add the number created by the array to be put after mc & "array number".So what the button should do is create one of the mc's visible whilst all others are not, and this should happen randomly without an mc showing up twice.

I'm working on a game where you have a car that will drive along a side-scrolling terrain, and it needs to folllow the hills up and down and rotate accordingly. Because the front wheel and back wheel will need to be at different heights as the car moves, I'm wondering what the best way to make it rotate correctly is?
The height detection works, and the car will follow the hills but that's just using one point on the car movie clip to test with - it needs to use the front and back of the car.

I have a ball (instance name is "ball") and if I hit the enemy ball (instance name is "enemy") it'll dissappear, and add 100 points. At the same time, I want them to multiply and get faster.The enemy has a follower code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.ball._x>_x) {
_x += 2;[code]....
And the ball has a code that is secret because if I give it to you it'll spoil the game idea.The dynamic text box has an instance of "points".I have my mute sound control done and the ball you control done.

I have this game, and some levels have a moving square as the player, you move the square with your arrow keys.... I want to have an enemy square that chases the player square.... They only chased mario when you didn't look at them? Kinda like that...... but in this regards:
I only want the enemy square to chase the player square when the player square moves.... soo say the player square moves 5 pixels per movement (know how to do all that), I want the enemy square to move when the player square moves..... towards the player square at like 7 pixels per movement..... so eventually you won't be able to avoid the enemy square....

I am trying to make the SIMPLEST POSSIBLE MP# player using the player component preinstalled in flash.It is very simple, the code is as follows:
Code:
on (release) {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
}
("player" is the mp3 component)
This works if I want a single track to be selected and played.Now, I need it to AUTOMATICALLY LOAD THE NEXT TRACK, which I will input in the code.I am thinking something like this:
Code:
player.onSoundComplete = function() {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
};
But this is not working.
PS: I know an XML file would be the best here, but I don't want to use it. I just want to enter the next track's code inside the swf.

how to make the camera follow my hero (mc), I think the problems involve me using the mouse to move my player instead of the keyboard. This is my code:
var distx:Number;
var disty:Number;
var gravity = 0.6;
[code]....
The result is my Hero following my mouse and when I click it jumps. But the camera is not following it.

I'm making a flash game in AS2, and i am having troubles with my gun, i have fiddled with it for a while now and i have narrowed down the problem, but i can't fix it. My problem is that i want a gun to follow the player, but the coordinates are messing up and going to his feet.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_y += (_root.player._y-_y)/1; //This code makes it goto his feet, but the gun no longer follows player when he jumps.
_x += (_root.player._x-_x)/1;[code].............

we need some movie clips.Place in a movie clip (MC) with the instance name "volume" of a line with a width of 250 exactly, do it with the properties tab.Once you have done that double click it. Inside this MC lock the layer with the line on it, and lock it. Create a new layer, and on that put in a picture of a slider, and give it the INSTANCE NAME, "knob_mc".Now, make another image,which will be easy for users to click on, make the the width of this, 250 exactly also. Instance name it mask.
Now, create your buttons. Name the buttons for the songs respectively, song1, song2, etc...Also make an image of a speaker, with no sound wave coming out of it. Make it an MC, then, inside this movie clip insert 4 keyframes of the speaker,each with one more sound wave than the other, starting with no waves. Put stop on each frame, in the actions.Then on the last frame,frame 5, make the mute image, also put stop on the layer.
Place in a movie clip with the instance name "slider_mc" of a line with a width of 200 exactly, do it with the properties tab.Once you have done that double click it. Inside this MC lock the layer with the line on it, and lock it. Create a new layer, and on that put in a picture of a slider, and give it the INSTANCE NAME, "knob_btn".Now, make another image, which will be easy for users to click on, make the the width of this, 200 exactly also. Instance name it mask.Then insert a picture of speakers, width of 100 exactly, instance name of speaker. Then inside that, create an image to show the amount of balance to one side. With a width of 50, instance name of balance.
Others;Play button, instance name "playbut", 2 keyframes, frame 1 play image, frame 2 pause image.
Stop button, instance name "stopbut".

I have a small media server. It's actually a Netgear GoFlex Home (NAS) running Plugbox Linux. It's currently running a bunch of servers HTTP/FTP/WebDAV/DLNA/Webmin etc and I want to create a frontend for my multimedia that I can access from the internet. (I preimarily use it as a DLNA media server).At first I considered using a Java Servlets backend with a Flex based frontend but that fact that I can't use Flex Builder from work (licensing) and I'm unwilling to pay a few hundred pounds for it, that's out of the question.
