Need to make it so when you hit <control> it will place the bullet but if you hit <control> again it will duplicate it instead of moving the bullet from where it was before. I am trying to find a code that I can look at for research but there arent any AS 3.0 scripts or fla files to DL. The bullet does not need to move or anything, just places the bullet.

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a game where you have a cannon at the left edge of the screen. I want to be able to fire a cannonball from the cannon in an arc so that it intersects where the mouse pointer is on the screen.
I've seen a few examples that move a projectile in an arc from point a to point b, but what I need is for the cannonball to first move along the axis of the cannon itself, it's no good if the ball leaves the end of the cannon at a different angle to which the cannon is pointing.
The only force acting on the ball will be gravity and it's starting velocity.
Also to complicate matters, I need the cannons angle to change according to how far away the mouse pointer is from the end of the cannon, so if the pointer is far away than the cannon will point upwards say at an angle of 45 degrees, but if the pointer is very close to the end of the cannon then the cannon will point directly at the pointer, this I've more or less already got working by just getting the distance between them and then dividing it by a number and subtracting it from the rotation value of the cannon, but it's a bit of a rough way of doing it.
EDIT Using the code below I've managed to the line in the screen shot below. But as you can see it's not the trajectory I need, I need something more like the red line I've put in.
And here's how I've implemented the code (probably wrongly)
public class GameTurretLine2
{
var rt:Object = null;
[Code]....
Also for some strange reason, the line created by the code flips, from how it is in the screen shot to an indented code (y flipped) just by moving the mouse a tiny amount, so as you move the mouse the line jumps everywhere.
I have a flash 8 movie that uses actionscript to create a projectile, kind of like a ball being fired from a canon. I want to create a line that follows and draws the path of the projectile.
View 2 RepliesThis is my first week of learning Flash and ActionScript, and because I don't have a good ActionScript book yet, I've been reading several basic Flash game programming tutorials online and doing my best to understand and learn the syntax and methods. After successfully creating "my" first Flash game (a space-shooter from the great tutorial on this website), I decided to set a high bar for myself and try to make a top-down shooter which I can expand on as I learn more.
My problem is that I simply cannot get Flash to recognize my "bullet" movie clip symbol in the library, place it by my character's gun with correct rotation, and finally shoot it off into the distance. The gun is part of the same .png as the character is in, so it is part of the same symbol ("player").
Below is the code I am working on for the shooting code:
Shooting Code: (Applied to my "Player" movie clip symbol's "Actions")
onClipEvent(load)
{
[code]....
In my Flash scene, I have a "Crosshairs" movie clip symbol which I have successfully gotten to replace the hidden standard mouse cursor, a "player" movie clip who can move around the scene while always facing the crosshair, and a "bullet2" movie clip in my library. Both the player and bullet MC's have identifiers of the same name applied to them.
I have a 3d projectile game I'm working on. I want to check if the projectile moving down the z axis hits wall on two sides. The walls are set up like this:
leftWall = new wall();
leftWall.x = 10;
leftWall.y = 360;
leftWall.z = 230;
leftWall.rotationY = -95;
How to do collision detection in this 3d space?
I have a projectile that generated by this code:
//initial code
bullet1.x = bullet1.x + (cur_speed_x / 10);
bullet1.y = bullet1.y - (cur_speed_y / 10);
cur_speed_y = cur_speed_y - g / 50;
[Code] .....
I want the projectile to keep the same path but just move faster without having to increase the frame rate of the movie. Where I should increase the motion in the above formulas to get that to happen?

how to create bullets in as3? I have a main character = hero.mc Basically I need to store the bullets in an array and have them firing from the hero. It sounds simple enough, but for some reason I can't get it to work.
So far I have this:

private var bullets:Array;
public function createBullets() {
bullets = new Array();

I need a code in AS2 that launches a bullet ("bullet") from the character ("hero") towards wherever you clicked the mouse.For example, if I click somewhere, I want the bullet to launch straight towards where I clicked.
View 10 RepliesHow do I add a bullet to Flash text? I know that alt0149 isthe html code. In the Flash text box and before the first textcharacter, I tried pressing the ALT key and simultaneously typingin 0149. Nothing happened.A similar question was asked on this forum... the answer wago to the Character Map (where is that) or use dynamic text (Itried putting alt0149 in the dynamic text box ??? but it didn'tork).My work-around so far is to copy a similar bullet and add itto the text box. But there must be a quicker way.

View 2 RepliesI could create a movie clip for a bullet and create a new instance of one every time a bullet is fired. Then, I could have 100 little bullets all flying around checking collision detection...
There must be a better, more efficient way to do bullets. Anyone know of anything already out there?Otherwise, I could create a collision detection queue for the bullets, or predict where the bullet will fly (since it is usually always linear), but if the bullets become larger, the actual movie clip of the bullet may be wide enough to hit something, but the line the bullet is traveling does not necessarily hit that other object.
But is there a fast, efficient system or way of handling things already out there?
I'm working on a simple top-down zombie shooter to teach me better AS3 practices. There's one player, can shoot multiple bullets, and a certain number of zombies on screen at once, that increment by one when all of the previous ones are dead.
So, I have everything working great except for one thing: even though I'm spawning multiple bullets, and they go in the correct direction at the right speed, only one moves at a time.
Here's the code for spawning bullets:
Code:
// shoot - check to see if the gun can shoot, then shoot it
private function shoot():void
{
[code]....
I have a similarly structured pair of functions for the zombies, and they chase after the player just fine. If I trace a bullet's name when it collides with a zombie, it always returns 0. I've tried changing the number of bullets that can be spawned, but it remains the same.
Also, the moveBullets function is called from gameLoop(), which is itself called from an event listener for ENTER_FRAME. The movePlayer and moveZombies functions I have are also called from gameLoop.
I've got a mouse controlled person who fires circle bullets up towards oncoming enemies. but since I duplicated them, only the first bullet fired works as it is the only one that has the right instance name. What I mean is: The bullet is instanced bullet. When it is duplicated to be fired, it changes to bullet1, bullet2 etc. The hittest script on the enemies only recognize bullet, and therefore ignores all other shots except the first. Is there anyway of making it so it recognizes all shots?

I've been having a problem I've been working on for multiple hours now with no luck. I have movement bound to arrow keys and the user looks around via the mouse. When I shoot I want it to continue off in the direction it initially started, but what happens is if the user moves the mouse the bullets change directions with it.[code]...I think what is causing the problem is that when I push the bullets into the array they're all sharing the effects of the user moving the mouse instead of keeping their initial value.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make text bullets in Flash CS 5.5, and I noticed there is no way to do that using the text options in Flash, so I decided, I would just make a small circle shape, and place it where I needed. However, even though I place the shape in front of the text I want it to be in front of, when I test the movie, for some reason this shape, gets moved down about 5 pixels or so. (or the text is moving) I am using classic text.
Is there any reason for this shifting around?
And/or is there a way to just create text bullets in Flash?

View 14 RepliesIs there a way to make a bulleted list in flash with custom bullets? If so, can this be used from within a TextArea in Flex (mx.controls.TextArea) when setting htmlText?
For example:
<li>Item</li>

The list above will render fine when set into a TextArea using htmlText (versus just setting the text property). The rendered text will have standard vanilla bullets. Is there a way to style these bullets with custom images, like you can in standard HTML/CSS?
