ActionScript 3.0 :: Platform Game 0 Can't Get Enemies To Face Hero
Nov 24, 2010
I'm making a platform game. The hero can move around, but the enemies are stationary. My problem is that I want the enemies to face the hero. The first enemy behaves correctly, but the subsequent enemies only behave correctly if I kill all the preceding enemies. I have added the hero and the enemies as Objects and put the enemies into an array called enemies. Both the hero and enemy objects have a direction property and an mc property that refers to their movie clips. This for loop gets called every frame.
for(var i:int = 0; i < enemies.length; i++)
{//face hero
if(hero.mc.x < enemies[i].mc.x) enemies[i].direction = -1;
else if(hero.mc.x > enemies[i].mc.x) enemies[i].direction = 1;
enemies[i].mc.scaleX = enemies[i].direction;}

i am making a game and i have my main character as a square and the enemies are circles at the moment. i have just made the circles home in on the main character, but my problem is when the enemies come inline with the x or y coordinates of my character they start vibrating/shaking. im not sure how to fix this. i have included my fla so you can easily see whats going wrong.

we just recently defended our graduation project which is a platform game like mario. one of the modifications suggested by our panelists is to make level 1 generate random places for enemies and coins after one of them said that mario was a stupid game because you already know where the enemies are, the powerups, etc. i said i'll give it a go and see what i can do. but recently i realized that i havent played any platform game that generates random places for the enemies, coins and other objects. it is only in rpg games like ragnarok that i have seen enemies spawning at random places.

I'm getting an error: [code]I'm also looking for a simple way to show my 'enemies' on random base on my platform screen. I already made an array with the x and y coordinates but I don't know how to make AS3 print them on a random way on the platform windows.

I have my as2 code for my game im making so far the char can jump and move left and right. make him face the mouse like lets say my mouse is to the x- of my character than I would want his left facing movie clip (which I havent made yet) to be facing that way etc. where I could start heres what I have:
Actionscript Code:
onClipEvent (load) {var ground:MovieClip = _root.ground;var grav:Number = 0;var gravity:Number = 2;var speed:Number = 7;var maxJump:Number = -12;var touchingGround:Boolean = false;}onClipEvent (enterFrame) {_y += grav;grav +=
[Code].....
That's the movement code that lets me move left and right and jump with gravity

I'm planning to make a multiplayer hero-based RTS game, similar to the gameplay of DotA/HoN/LoL. With about 10~ players max at once in a game. The latency and responsetime is key, trying to get as low ping as possible.And last but not least - I don't want to use any 3rd party solutions, such as smartfox server or any of the likes of it.So, with that said, what is the way to go if I'm going to build this properly? Java socket server? Python? Let me know what you think and please share resources since i haven't done anything similar before.

I am making a platformer and i got two problems with the hero.The hero is controlled with the following script.
code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var ground:MovieClip = _root.ground;
var grav:Number = 0;
var gravity:Number = 2;[code].....
1. I can't seem to figure out how to set the "hero" movieclip to the frame named "nothing" when none of the keys that control the hero are pressed. (so the hero is doing nothing). When the hero stands still, it will still appear like he is walking or jumping (whatever has been done last)How do i tell Flash that something must happen when none of a certain group of keys are pressed?
2.When you jump, the "jump" frame of the hero is shown. But as soon as you move right or left while jumping, the "right" or "left" walk frames are shown. How do i tell flash to not show the "right" or "left" frames after pressing the jump key until the hero lands back on the ground? The instance of the ground is "ground".

I've been working on a uni project. Basically, enemies are placed on the screen using a timer variable and using the attachMovie to put them on the screen. This is an example of the code I'm using:
Actionscript Code:
var enemies;var timer;
function onLoad(){
enemies = [];
timer = 0;}
function onEnterFrame(){timer++;
if (timer == 10) {
Timer = 0;
var enemy = _root.attachMovie("mc_1", "mc_1",
_root.getNextHighestDepth());
enemies.push(enemy);
}}
This works and places them on the screen, (and into the array) but by putting them into the array, I thought that each one would be a unique instance of the movieclip which doesn't always seem to be the case. If I shoot one of the enemies, sometimes another enemy will explode (or both of them) and other times I will knock into one enemy and another one will be the one who get's knocked.
For my collision code I'm using this:
Actionscript Code:
for(var i in _root.player.enemies){
if (some arguments..)
_root.player.enemies[i].health -= 10;
}}
The explosion code also uses a similar for loop. Should I look at another method to place unique instances of the enemies on the screen?

I'm doing a kind of plataform map, and now I need to make health (3 hearts, like Mario). I tried to do it with hittest but the hearts goes like crazy. Guess I need to make something like invulnerable or I don't know. What I want to do is three hearts, and, if the human touches a spike he loses a hearth.

In my basic platform game I have a "hero" that can walk and jump on the "ground." There is also a door to the next scene, which is the next level.The first scene works fine, but "TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function. at Charles3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()" pops up once in the output. It works however, and I'm not worried about it. The second I go throught the door though, Scene 2 opens, but then starts flashing as "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at Charles3_fla::MainTimeline/onenter()" pops up A LOT in the output. I don't know how to fix it, and would like help. P.S. I am using Adobe CS5 with actionscript 3

I am making a platform game in flash. I have a goal class (the class which contains code for the goal sprite, where when you hit it, it continues to next part of game). Inside the goal constructor, 2 event listeners are added, they are as follows:
addEventListener(Event.ADDED, beginClass);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrame);
The beginClass function is fine, and only runs once, but eFrame is what checks if the player has hit the goal, so it is constantly running. The problem is, once the player hits the goal, eFrame continues to run, while in a menu describing the next scene to the player. My eFrame function is below.
private function eFrame(event:Event):void{
if(hitTestObject(_root.mcMain)){
var lastScore:int = _root.mainScore;
_root.mainScore = lastScore;
while (_root.lvlHolder.numChildren > 0) {
[Code] .....
Frames 2, 3, 4, are frames with just text and a button that display a message to the player, and then the player hits continue. My problem is that eFrame is still trying to be run, but the class has not been instantiated, and the method is causing extreme amounts of lag once the player continues.

I am creating a 2d platform shooting game. Currently I have my main character walking around left and right and the stage background also moves left and right.
The problem I am having is that if I go to far left the charater just walks 'off stage' and into nothingness but the stage still follows. How can I make it so if the character hits a certain point he just 'stops' and cant go left no more but can go right no problem. I have tried using hitTest with another movieclip but couldnt get it working.[code]...

I am creating a platform game and am getting the following error:#1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object referenceThis error happens when I remove all children from the stage on line 154 of the Robbery.as class. Im guessing that maybe it is still listening for event in the other classes but I'm unsure how to remove these from within the document class.

I have gotten to a point with my platform game where I am completely stuck. I have the player movement working fine but the only thing is, it doesn't fall off the blocks.
I have a Floor class which references the Character class and tells it to stop jumping when it is on a block through a hitTestObject. I have tried to research how other games have added functions but can't seem to find one which will work in mine.

I am working on a platform game and I am having a problem with the script. I have a mc with my character in it named "mcMain", I placed all the script into it. Inside the movie clip I have 20 frames, the first 5 are standing, walking, jumping, crouching, and crawling. Frames 6-20 are an attacking animation. The problem is in frame 20 I want him to go back to frame one and turn off a variable (called "ram") in the movie clip.
The problem is with the variable ram (which is established in the onClipEvent(load) section of the script). I have it turn on when the character attacks and I want it to turn off after the animation is complete. The problem is it is not turning off. I have it targeted but it does nothing. I have tired both a direct and relevant target along with a _parent.ram = false;
Here is the script on the movie clip.
Actionscript Code:
//Establish VariablesonClipEvent (load) {
var speed:Number = 0;var walk:Number = 6;
var run:Number = 12;var grav:Number = 0;
var falling:Number = 0;
var jumped:Boolean = false;var jumpHeight:Number = 23;
[Code] .....
And here is the script inside the movie clip on frame 20
Actionscript Code:
_root.mcMain.ram = false;gotoAndStop(1);

I'm making a platform game in AS3. I've sorted the left,right and jumping movement of my character - apart from one jumpingproblem:When the up arrow key is down it sets the jump var to true.ENTER_FRAME function detects when jump = true and it decreases thecharacters y position by the var velocity while at the same timedecreasing velocity by 1.5px. So my character jumps up to a certainheight then comes down - There is a hit test to stop heump/fall. BUT when the character falls off a platform he can still jumpwhen the up arrow is pressed. I've been racking my brains but I canstop the character from jumping if its falling.

I'm developing a web-based fantasy football game. Most of the game is a straight-forward web application built on top of Linux/Apache/Php/MySQL.
I'm trying to figure out how to implement the draft application. The draft date and time will be scheduled in advance by each league's owner. Up to 32 users may be logged on for a given league's draft, and there is no limit to how many drafts may be happening concurrently. The users will take turns selecting players, and each user's turn will have a time limit. I'd like for all the users to be able to see whose turn it is, how much time that user has left to select a player, who they select, and which players are still available. If there are users in the league who are not logged in during the draft I'd like to be able to detect that and automatically assign players to them rather than waiting for the time to run out on their turn. Ideally I'd also like to have a chat window so the users could chat with one another during the draft.
My background is in desktop application development, so if necessary I could write server code in C#/.NET or Java. As far as I can see these are the options: PHP/AJAX - It seems like it would be possible to have all the state for the draft in the database and have the operations for the draft run in PHP triggered by requests from the clients? I guess in this case the draft doesn't start until at least one user logs in, and it seems like it would be a lot of polling requests to the server if I want everyone notified quickly when a user makes a selection.

I'm just starting out in actionscript 3.0, and I'm trying to create a basic platform game. Since I don't really have time to code it from A to Z, I'm using an 'engine' I found here. I've made a few modifications (mostly deleting stuff I don't need, such as the enemies and the coins). Now I'd like to create a crate that the player character can pick-up, throw, put down and jump on. I've created a new class (Cage.as) for it, based on the player class. When I run the game, the crate is displayed, but it just floats there. I can't figure how to make it interact with gravity (i.e. fall to the ground).
