I am trying to program a game and I want the enemy character to fire a bullet every second, but instead he is firing an infinite amount of bullets right after the other. Here's the code with the timer:
if (k == 0){
var shootRight1 = new Timer(1000,1);
shootRight1.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, enemy1shoot);
shootRight1.start();

How would i make an enemy bullet go towards the main character?
View 7 RepliesBasically i just need a simple way to remove the "Enemy" when it comes into contact with "bullet".Ive been looking on the internet but its just really confusing me at the moment. And im not sure how easy its gonna be with the way i have set it up.
View 1 RepliesI 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 added attack to my character in the game and he attacks and the enemy dissapears, the problem if I can't get my character to die when he touches the enemy. I got it to work once but what happened was that even if I hit the enemy, as soon as I hit it I got to the game over screen and got stuck on a loop between the gameover screen and the moment I defeat the monster.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to remove an enemy after I kill them and I just started working with code in .as files. The enemy has it's own logic in a .as file and when I use removeChild, the movieclip is removed, but the logic continues to attack the main character (invisible).Is there a better way of removing the enemy character permanently. It kind of scares me that the method I use could just be leaving invisible movieclips on the screen as well.I've tried everything that I have used in previous games: removeChild(EnemyArray[i]);And this, which causes other problems with my code but removes the logic: EnemyArray[i] = null;But these still cause the problem.
View 4 RepliesI'm working on a side scroller that has a character that fires a bullet every time you hit spacebar, the problem I'm having is moving the bullet in the direction the character is facing (left or right).
I have a few of boolean variables to tell me which direction my character is facing: walkingRight | walkingLeft, so if my walkingRight == true, I want the bullet to travel +=10, and walkingLeft == true, bullet -= 10.
The problem is, when I fire facing left, the bullet moves left, but as soon as I turn right, that same bullets starts moving right.
Here is a snippet of AS3 code (Every Frame):
if(gamepad.fire2.isPressed){
// initiate bullet
var bullet = new Bullet();

I have a text field (old-style, non-TLF) with the following HTML text:[code].....
The font Optima is embedded, and I've selected embed all glyphs.What I'm getting rendered to the screen is as the image below, with a random i + umlaut character in place of the bullet.Is this a problem with Flash or is the font file somehow missing the bullet character, and does anyone know how I can fix this issue, preferably without having to move across to TLF text.?
I'm making a shooter. Whenever my bullet starts flying and I move my character the bullet keeps moving with it. The rotating gun is in the body movieclip layer so it follows the body around and I can move the gun is there anyway to disconnect the bullet from also moving around with the body ?
Code:
stage.frameRate = 30;
var angle:Number = 0;
var radiansToDegrees:Number = 180/Math.PI;
var degreesToRadians:Number = Math.PI/180;
var currentGeweer_mcRotation:Number;
var Bullet_mcHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(Bullet_mcHolder);

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:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 2;[code]...
I'm currently making my own shoot'em up game where the player can switch between two player types which will fire their own bullet type in this case, squares and circles. I've setup the player switch function via pressing "space" button (switching between the two player types) and the default bullet type is "squares" and I'm not sure to approach the coding with changing the bullet type to "circles".I've written 2 classes for the bullet and player setup:Player Class: Creates instance of bullet on screen and enables the switch player type function
Bullet Class: Enables bullet properies and bullet types Player Class: Code:function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {if (event.keyCode == 32) //// pressing/holding "space bar" to function

I'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that the bullet always comes from the gun.
My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.

i have 2 classes, one for ship one for bullet.i was trying to set the bullet.x to ship.x in the bullet class but it keeps telling me undefined. but clearly it is in my ship class.
View 10 Replies 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 a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know the regular expression to test if a single string character has both upper and lower case character?
eg. All A-Z and a-z.
i 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.

I'm trying to make a small game and I've got most of it done. I just need to learn how to duplicate the enemy, so when one dies another one or two can take his place. The enemies instance name is "ninja" (no quotes).
View 1 RepliesI would like my character to move as if he was drunk I am unsure how to do that I am using the keyboard for his movement. I also have a character that moves at random I would like the drunk moving character to be able to catch this character and play a scene from within the drunk characters movie clip but I want this character to try and escape the idea is the drunk character gets points for how long he is able to hang on to this character
View 2 Repliescreate a basic enemy AI that will make it possible for the enemy to move towards the player. Also something to make it so that the enemy will rotate when it moves.Good example of what im explaining is here but its Actionscript 2 instead [URL]
View 2 RepliesI've been trying to make my somewhat first game, and got stuck. Trying to make the "Enemy UI".
You don't need any background info.
Enemy is at 100X and 200Y.
Make him move to 350X and 50Y. ( in a somewhat animation )
So I was thinking, check if Current X is smaller or bigger than 350, then every frame (or by Time Animation ), do x++ or x-- Accordingly.
Same for the Y.
Is there a better way to it? Something that will make the animation smoother? A way that's better, can be "upgraded" in the future?
Excuse me, I'm making a flash game. But, it's kinda odd. I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 and Windows7 64-Bit as OS. Here's the link (around 1MB (FLA and SWF)) : [URL] The problem is : When I shoot using 'A' or 'S', the foliage or the enemy just disappear. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's wrong. Is my AS wrong ? Or is it because I'm using Windows 7 64-Bit ? It's for my final assignment. I've tried this past 2 days and I don't know what to do anymore >.< The deadline is this month.
View 1 RepliesI am building a whack-a-mole game in AS3. I have the basic structure down but am trying to figure out how to have one instance of a random 'enemy' appear in one slot at a time. So there would not be a duplicate 'enemy' anywhere else simultaneously as well as only one instance can occupy a slot at a given time.Anyone have any suggestion on what direction? Array? for loop?

View 1 RepliesI've been working with Flash for over 3 years, but I can't figure this one out. I've got a body of text, half of which are bulleted points designated by <li></li>. It's loaded into a html-ised dynamic textbox.
[Code]....
It displays fine as is. However, if I make the box selectable, and select any part of the bulleted list, the ENTIRE body of text turns into a giant bulleted list, including the non-bulleted portion at the beginning. I've managed to replicate this bug with Flash 8 and CS3, using a variety of flas made from scratch.
I'm creating a small car game where you shoot from the car, so I've made a bullet animation with this code inside the mocieclip:
Actionscript Code:
shellNo = 0;function shellEject(){shell_holder.attachMovie("shellAnim", shellNo, shellNo);shellNo++;}
But the problem is that the car is moving when you controll it so the bullet stays on the same position and I want it to follow the car and start from the same position as the car whereever it goes.
