ActionScript 3.0 :: Color Objects That Are Flying Around In Space Game?
Jul 5, 2011
trying to color objects that are flying around in my space game.When I shoot and hit them - the affected enemies shall blink. The graphics are pre-rendered (i.e. there's an rotation array and function where the degrees and their appropriate rotation for the objects are stored / calculated for better performance).
So - my idea was to enhance that rotation function with a functionality for additional coloring; but the colored AND rotated objects shall be stored apart of the normal rotated objects. To accomplish this I made a nested array:in row one there are 360 rotated graphics of one object and in row two there are 360 graphics of a rotated and colored object.
Problem: Coloring works but they are not rotated (always at 0 degrees).
Code:
public function createRotationWithColorBlitArrayFromBD(sourceBitmapData:BitmapData, inc:int, offset:int = 0):Array
{
trace("sourceBitmapData.width=" + sourceBitmapData.width);
im trying to create a basic spaceship flying game and the first problem ive got is controlling the ship.the controls i need are thrust and left-rotate and right-rotate. much like this,[URL]..at the start this tut mentions 'game control tutorials' does anyone know where these are? i think i would find these useful. the above tut doesnt go into scripting.
When I implement the hitTest all the objects stop flying. Is it becaus too much is happening and the CPU has to think - I don't think so - my game is so basic. By the way, somewhere along the line I will use loops and arrays but at the moment I know what's going on in my code.
currently i making this game and objects would spawn at random and be able to click but when de game starts itself, the spawn is correct but i am unable to make it stop when time goes to 0seconds.
I am making a space invader game as a uni project. Please seee attched file.I am getting an error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at MethodInfo-19()It only happens sometimes when an invader is removed in the moveBullet method I think but basically the game behaves incorrectly and sometimes goes to the You Win frame even if the user has lost or just lost a life.
My project is almost complete except for this last little thing that's been bugging me. A tutorial I followed had you start the game by clicking a button but I would like to change that to pressing the spacebar starts the game. I tried:
how to make a Space Invaders game (with a twist). I have previously made a game in Actionscript 1.0, which may be viewed at [URL] (press S to start the game after typing in your name).
I want to use this project as an exercise for learning AS 3.0, and I a cannot really see how I need to use separate AS files (Actionscript classes)
I am currently working on a new game and I need help on this part. It is probably simple to do but I am a noob. Basically I am making a window cleaning game and I have set it up so that the dirt slowly dissapears through the frames. What I need to know is how to I script it so that each time I press space it jumps to each frame.
e.g hit space jump to frame 2 press again jumps to next frame.I know How to set up the key press and know space is 32..
I am making my first game and it's my first time using actionscript. I am making a sniper game themed with the L96A1 sniper rifle from COD: Black Ops and the map nuketown. I'm in cs5 with ac3 and on my stage I have two movie clips that I'm working with. I'm not really sure if they're supposed to be movie clips though. Anyways, one is the gun, and the other is the zoomed in scope overlay thingy.
For now, I'm trying get the zooming in to work. I haven't done anything else though except collect graphics for enemies, the landscape, the gun, and the scope. I want to make it so that you zoom in and out by holding and letting go of the space bar. Also,I want to make it so that when you are not zoomed in, the gun moves horizontally at the bottom of the screen (aligned vertically with the cursor). And when you are zoomed in, the scope crosshair is the cursor.So my idea was to set the gun as the cursor and make it only move horizontally at the bottom of the stage and then make an event listener that listens to when the spacebar is pressed and when it is, disables the gun as the cursor (and makes it transparent to get it off the screen) and makes the scope the cursor [was transparent, now opaque and unrestricted(vertical movement also)].
I got as far as making the gun move horizontally at the bottom with the cursor. I cant get the event listener working because I don't really know how to go about changing the opacity of each movie clip and how to switch cursors. So I am asking how do I change the opacity and switch the cursors when the spacebar is held and then reverse those changes when the spacebar is released? Here's my code on an "actions" layer [I haven't done any animations yet, so everything is on frame 1. Also, I used a couple preset code snippets since I have no previous experience with actionscript (I can understand most of it though)]:
Code: import flash.events.KeyboardEvent; // make gun cursor stage.addChild(gun);[code]..........
Here's a link to a zip archive with all the files used so far (I hope this google docs link works): link
I was trying to make a game with simple spaceships and a bullet that is supposed to hit them and delete them on screen. As all ships are deleted the level gets up by one, increasing number of ships to delete. I think the collision detection part of my program works fine, but their is some problem in their motion synchronization.
Code: package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class HitGame extends Sprite { [Code] .....
I've been following a tutorial on [URL] but changing and removing various things to fit to the game I am (very, very slowly) trying to make. I am attempting to make an up-side-down Space Invaders like game, but with balloons instead of aliens.
So far (by following the tutorials and being lucky) I have managed to make the player's ship which moves by pressing the arrow keys and can shoot two (blue) lasers when the spacebar is pressed. The enemy balloons randomly appear below the bottom of the screen and shoot a laser upwards towards the player's ship when the player goes above (Y axis I think) any balloons.
The problem is that the balloons fire a massive stream of shots (red lasers), but I want to delay each next shot by a few seconds, but the time of the delay doesn't matter because I'll tweak it later.
I've been trying to make delays for the balloon lasers by copy/pasting bits of code from Ship.as in an attempt to make it work ...Maybe it's a good time to say I am a complete noob at AS3 apart from when it comes to messing up and having no idea what is going on
I've attached my current (broken) work and a working SWF of before trying to add delays to the balloons shots. If you want to see it working first hand then replace the Balloon.as in actionscript.game with the Balloon(working).as and change the filename to Balloon.as.
I've created a navigation system using Flash 3D functionality. It consists of a MovieClip with a rounded rectangle + a text with no-antialias bitmap font. I'm using Tweener to modify the z co-ordinates of the mc to make it "slide onto" the stage. However when the mc is completed animating it is notably blurry (the text at least). I was wondering if it might just be because it's in 3D-space the perspective (which hasn't been modified) is throwing the rendering off. So onComplete of the animation I try assigning null to the z-value in hopes of removing the item from the 3D space. I've attached the package code I'm using to create and animate the navigation feature.
I like to call it a 3D engine, it can display triangles in 3D space and make shapes out of it. It works fine except that I have to manually change/remove/insert the coordinates of the points of triangles that make shapes. I would like to have a more practical way of putting dots in 3D space.
I am beginner in flash and I started to learn flash c4 (with video lessons in my language but from flash 8! but it is not problem now about drawing than only about code in actionscript). I have now problem in using of Paint Bucket Tool in flash cs4. I made a ship, I made a whole document/white page for drawing in rectangle tool (frame for picture), and I made to lines which will be like a hill. it is for background, behind the ship. but when I want to color this background, to be green for example, my Pain Bucket Tool don't want to color ONLY place behind the ship and under mentioned "hill lines", than Paint Tool color whole document. therefore I can't make a hill because I get everything colored in green.
I tried all option about closing of gaps. how can I color only wanted places in picture and not whole picture? "hill" is not strait line so I don't know how to select hill space. of course, after it I will have to repeat process to color space above "hill lines", it will be blue like sky. and just to say that "2 hill lines" are from left to right side of document, there is no hole, it is closed line.
The problem is: when the game starts, "SPACE BAR" is working fine and changes the game from day to night. When the game ends and I press restart, the SPACE key is not working. On the third time it works, on the fourth not and it follows that way. Every second time that I play the game, the SPACE key doesn't work.
The game initializes the player and sends him as a parameter a stage object and the player listens for KEY_UP.When I press restart, the game runs the init() function again.Below there are the Game.as and Player.as classes.
i"m hoping someone can help me with this I'm working with a slide show that has products of different widths. The idea is to make sure that when user clickes on the next/back buttons and the next (or prev) product shows up - to make sure that the product is not clipped either on left of stage (or live area) or right..
My new website is carolineofbrunswick (dot) co (dot) uk. As you can see, there's a ton of blank space off to the right of the pages, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
It's caused by the Flash objects in the right-hand column. Changing the width attributes on those Flash objects just causes them to not appear at all, though the blank space still exists.
I am using away3D and I have come across a stumbling block I cant get anyone to answer. I have tried EVERYTHING and I am not getting an answer on away3D forums.I place objects in 3D space. where the houses start at different y -value and z -value for reasons I dont know so they can look level.IT takes about 30 sec to load but here is my example of the problem . The objects move on the ground when they should not. I am just moving the camera. I dont underatnd how you place objects in 3D space in away3D.Here is the issue with my program after MANY hours of endless fiddling. The y value of the plane. It looks the same with value at -100 or -140 but it works at -140 where it is under all ojects. AT -100 it looks under all objects but doesnt move properly. Objects and the plane (ground) dont seem fixed.
// plane = new Plane({material:mygrass, name:"plane", z: 200,y:-100,x:-100, width:1000, height:1000, pushback:true}); plane = new Plane({material:mygrass, name:"plane", z: 200,y:-140,x:-100, width:1000,
I am in the process of creating a vertical scrolling space shooter game for deployment on mobile platforms using AIR.I've used some excellent tutorials online, video tutorials on Lynda and several books, including Game Programming University.Something they all seem to gloss over are the various screens that will be used.
For instance, my game right now will use a splash screen, a main menu screen, a credits screen,a settings screen, a difficulties screen, an instruction screen, an end game screen and save/load screen...and a play game screen, where the actual game will be played.I've created the screens as seperate frames in the main timeline with stop commands in between and code on each page (I know... bad!... but easy).So basically,they can navigate through the menus using buttons (mouseclicks, which will work with touchs as well) and when they are How do I pass data between them? I was thinking of storing it in shared object.
I'm using AS2 and fps120.I'm creating a tetris game, but I encountered a problem: I made a function which makes the block go directly to the bottom on the press of "space".I used
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){ ... }
But when I pressed space, the blocks stacked up immediately. It's because after I press space, another block apears immediately and goes to the bottom immediately, and keeps going until I release spade. It isn't a problem if I use lower fps, but my fps is 120, which means even I release space as quickly as I could, at least six blocks would stack up. I want to know is there anyway to detect the releasing of "space" or a detection which only detects on the instant I press, instead of when the key is down.
I am trying to create a memory game, where about five or six (doesn't matter how much) different colours com up and flash for a second and disappear in a random order.
Then the user has to try to match them again buy clicking on the colours that they have infront of them in the same sequence as the lights went.
Is there a way to make this game so it will tell you when you are wrong or right, and also is it possible to make the flashing colours random each time you play it?
I am making sims like game and right now I am trying to figure out how I will structure my objects. right now I am thinking to create a class called GameObject, the psuedo is below
public class GameObject { name:String width:int height:int }
This way I could create objects like bushes, trees, and buildings. But then I began to think. what if I wanted to create multiple buildings and trees of the same type ?? I would have to keep making instances of GameObject and giving it a new name and height and width. The properties would have to be the same values in order for me to duplicate one object. That seems a little tedious. Then I figure , maybe that isnt the right way to go. So I was thinking, I would have to extend GameObject like below
public class Tree extends GameObject{ birdHouse:Boolean } public class Building extends GameObject{
[code].....
Now this way I can create a class that has a method that loosely accept accepts any type that inherits GameObject.
Selector.loadObject(gObject:IGameObject);
Depending on what type it is (i.e tree, building, house) I can use a case statement to figure out which type it is and evaluate it accordingly.
I also created a Tile Class that will pass through the loadObject method. It also will be a child of the GameOject class. if the case statement finds that it is type Tile, it will highlight whatever Tile depending on what tile my mouse is over.
My second question is if a class inherits a class that implements a interface, is that class child class considered to be a IGameObject as well. or does it have to implement that interface directly. does all this sound like I am going in the right directions lol, as far as organization is concerned.
Suppose I have a list of 100 enemies on the stage like this (pseudocode):
Code: // init: enemies = new Array(); for (i=0; i<100; i++) { temp = new Enemy(a, b, c); stage.addChild(temp); enemies.push(temp); }
Now enemies is an array of all the enemies, so I can update all of their positions, and other properties, each frame. Is this a good way to do things? Because I just realized that I'm storing each enemy twice: One time in enemies Array and one time in stage.children. Maybe I should get rid of the enemies Array altogether, and just use stage.getChildAt() to update the enemies?
I'm starting with actionscript 2 and I can't figure out how I set a collision mask for enemies and characters. I've got birds that flap their wings but I only want the player to collide with the body, not with the wings, as they take up too much space and it would be unfair.
I tried mc.setMask and other things I found online, but somehow it didn't work, ie: did nothing. I think I don't get the way this works. I thought you'd need like an invisible rectangle that it checks collisions against instead of the actual animation.
I'm trying to develop a SWF Api that consists of a game that makes random objects fall from the top, each of them has different points, and then the points the player gets should be stored into a dinamic text called score, when the player doesn't take the ball, loses a life. Then, if the player catches it, the ball disappears and gives the points to the player.
