ActionScript 3.0 :: Create An Enemy Spaceship That Has A Simple AI?
Jul 31, 2011
i.e. everytime the spaceship reaches a point a new one will be created randomly and the ship is flying to it (etc., etc.)Problem is that it doesn't really work because after the ship flies around for some time it suddenly stops to move. It's a matter of time. Sometimes the problem occurs after 5 seconds then again the spaceships flies around for 2 - 3 minutes and stops the movement immediately.Currently I have no clue where the problem is. I already checked the distance function but so far it seems to be okay
This is the code (just an excerpt):
Code:
private function update(timeDifference:Number = 0):void
{
var step:Number = (timeDifference / 1000) * timeBasedUpdateModifier;
for each (tempEnemy in enemyManager.enemies)
[code]....

I�m working on an asteroid game and don�t get it to create a nice trail for my spaceship(s).It doesn�t need to look spectacular, just "nice".I tried a comic look alike version with angled mc�s, whose scale are tweened down and up. But it�s not the right look.And I tried some flame effects by as3, but it not seems to be a smart solution. Nice look, but needs a lot of memory space.

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.

i have one movieclip and i have another movieclip>enemy...okay so when the first movieclip goes over the enemy, nothing happens until i roll out! all i want to do is the movieclip, when it hits the enemy, it goes to the enemy's second frame and that's it ! there are no syntax error in this script, just something i want to do that apparently doesn't work right.here is my code:

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 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 want my spaceship shoot two shots at once. So I used my first array of projectiles and placed them at the right side of the ship (one shot on the left and one on the right). So far so good. But when I shoot with my spaceship and I turn around the rotations of the projectiles look very strange. It's hard to describe so here's an image that shows the error in action. [URL] I have huge problems rotating the projectiles ALONG with the spaceship so that it looks really good. Currently there is one single shot only. My shooting gets screwed up when I rotate and fire at once. The goal is to create a dual firing cannon like in the picture shown. Here is some code that places the projectile at the left of the ship (that doesn't really work):

Im trying to add flames while my spaceship is flying. When forward button is pressed the flame appears from the center of the ship and when the right or left button is pressed the flame appears from the right or left side of the ship, I tried to use gotoAndStop, but it only shows frame by the last pressed button, if I press two keys at same time I see only one flame. What should I do to see two frames at the same time?

I am working on a spaceship flying simulation in PV3D. It's a simple concept, when [SPACE] is pressed, the ship moves forward. The [mouse position] controls the direction the spaceship travels. Similar to this video http:[url].... (though i do not need it to do banks and rolls or anything fancy yet, the video is just to put an image in ur head).I am using these Trig equations to calculate the X, Y, Z velocities,
velocityX = Math.sin (shipdae.localRotationY * Math.PI / 180 ) * speed;
velocityY = Math.sin(shipdae.localRotationX * Math.PI / 180 ) * -speed;
velocityZ = Math.cos(shipdae.localRotationY * Math.PI / 180 ) * speed;

How do you create a simple Health Bar for Actionscript 3.0? I have been searching for this for a while, and all I ever find are AS2 tutorials. AS2 dates back to about 900 B.C. ; it is an archaic language and it needs to be left alone, FOR GOOD.

I need to create a simple keypad. When using an embedded font in a dymanic text field I'm getting a strange result. I'm using .appendText in a function like this for each of the numbers:
function button1Press(event:MouseEvent):void {
MySolution.appendText("1");
}
[Code]....
In most cased when I press a second button, both numbers change to the second button that was pressed. Press the two and "2" is displayed. Then press four and it changes to "44". When using system fonts this doesn't occurr. This behavior only happens on the iPad. It's fine in the test window on my computer.

What I am trying to acheive is that when the mouse rolls off the button, the menu disappears, the same when the mouse rolls of the menu, the sticking point is the rolling off the button to make the menu disappear.

I'm trying to create a simple looping background with code only (and one library item). It's going to be used in a game I'm making.
I place the graphics in an array and tell them to move in an Enter Frame loop, then, I want to remove the graphics that surpasses a set position on the stage and move it to the start of the array.[code]...
And how I would move the graphics to the start of the array, I simply don't know :( If I get this to work, I also want to figure out how to make more than one layer of looping graphics, if possible. But, do you think what would slow down the game a lot?

I'm trying to create a very simple flash:An input text field, in which the viewer is to enter a simple word (in this case, let's say the word is "earth.") Beneath this text field is a button.When the button is clicked, flash should detect whether the user entered the word "earth"- if they entered "earth", they get sent to frame 2 of this movie. If they typed something else, then they get sent to frame 3.Now, this should be pretty simple, but every attempt I've made has failed, and every search for a simple tutorial/example of how to compose the script meets with no results. Currently, this is the script I put on the button (The input text field has been given the instance name of "answer_1"):[code]

i am trying to create a simple panorama viewer. the direction is governed by two mouse over areas one on each side of the stage (both will be invisible), at present the left side animates the background panorama right by 10 and the right side animates the panorama left by -10.
This essentially means it multiplies its speed if i mouse over the same edge twice, this is a problem i wish to fix, i also notice that if i go from one edge of the screen to the other it animates and stops, if we look at this from a maths point of view.
-10 moves left ( if mouse moves too right mouse over edge) +10 this = 0 value or in other words stops animation, then i have to mouse over again to +10 to make value 10 eg move right. this mouse over twice thing is not what i want.
To fix both issues, i think it would be best to place a mouse over area between both left and right that zeros out the value. so the middle will always stop the animation. though id not know how to zero out the value.

I have tried using the following to no effect:
ifFrameLoaded ("Main", 80) {
gotoAndPlay("Main", 1);
}
CS4 says this has been replaced by flash.display.MovieClip.framesLoaded but this doesnt seem to work the same, i keep getting errors.
Basically I have scene called "Loading" and I want AS3 i this scene to wait until my scene called "Main" has loaded before proceeding to it. I have an animation in the Loading scene to show its loading.

I just want to create a simple timer for a car game which notes the lap time each time you cross the finish line. I then want to be able to use the "gotoAndPlay (frame number)" once either a certain amount of laps have been completed or when the timer hits a specified number.I have exhausted tutorials, none of which actually work - what im looking for is 'i think' actually quite simple but i am having great difficulty.... The car game tutorial with 4 parts which seems to pop up everywhere does not help as it is very complex and can only be used when the game is designed in the way that the guys has made it.
