i got this flash with duplicated mc's say...enemy1, enemy2, enemy3. now we all know we can do something such as..
if {_root.blah.hitTests(_root.enemy)){_root.enemy.nextFrame();}}
because the enemy is duplicated and its no longer "enemy" but enemy12 or ****.is there any way to ...create multiple enemies and be able to do hitTests against them somehow.Also im not really a fan of attachMC
I'm currently programming in AS 2.0, and I'm trying to get a piece of code to work. I have a movieclip that is deployed when the user clicks a mouse button, sort of like a bombshell being dropped on an area.
However, when I run it, it's quite obviously only registering one of the hitTests, because _parent.sprite_counter only decrements by one, regardless of how many enemies are destroyed. That's the other weird thing; no matter what, even if the counter never decrements, the movieclip still is removed.
Is it because you've got several movieclips simultaneously trying to decrement the same variable?
I have many, potentially hundreds, of objects that are floating around the screen. These objects are named "Object1", "Object2", "Object3" and so on. Another object is moving around the screen and if it hits any of the other objects, it destroys them. The thing is, if I have a loop like:
Code:
for(var i = 0; i < ObjectCount; i++)
where ObjectCount is subtracted off each time an Object is destroyed. Now say Object1 is removed, then the loop will fall short and not check for a collision for the Object with the highest number. The way I am dealing with this at the moment is I am looping through the initial number of objects and not subtracting off ObjectCount, so when there is only say 10 of an inital 100 objects left, it is still looping through all 100.
Here is what the principle of it is:
Code:
for(var i = 0; i < ObjectCount; i++)
{
CurrentObject = GameArea["Object"+i];
[Code]......
And as you can see, if Object1 is removed, then the Object with the highest number on it will not be checked.
I have 9 static movieclips arranged in a 3 by 3 grid, and 1 movieclip that moves using keypresses (invisible_mc)[code]when a hitTest is registered between the invisible_mc and any of the icon_mc's, The icon_mc goes to and stops on frame 2..else it goes to and stops on frame 1. I have constructed the hitTest as follows.is there anyway to reduce the endless repetition of code? [coe]
View 1 RepliesI have a bullet movieclip and it moves. I've put a hitTest on its onEnterFrame so that it checks if it hits its target, whose instance name is mmbug and the target flies around. That's easy and works cool.[URL]there's only one wasp present at a time and it works)Now what I want to do is duplicate the wasps so there are more flying around at one time, but how would I do the hitTest on the bullet then, because you have to specify it an exact instance name. If I make all the wasps have the same instance names it doesn't work.So obviously I'd have to give them names of mmbug1, mmbug2, mmbug3 etc. But how would I check on the hitTest if it hits any of them, since you have to put in an exact instance name in the hitTest?
View 5 RepliesI've been reading up and looking at examples of how to handle multiple hittests. So far in my example I have failed.

Basically I want to be able to check for a hitTest against all the bullets on stage against all atoms created. I attempted to do this with two for loops and it didn't work

View 0 RepliesI just started Flash like 2 weeks ago, so im not very good. Im making a game where you pick a character, and shoot pigs. Every pig you shoot adds 500 points to your score. Problem is only one pig works. If i copy and paste that pig and his code (as2), when i shoot one pig both pigs explode, giving me 1000 points. How can i make it so that when i shoot one pig, one pig explodes, and i get 500 points?[code]...
View 4 Repliesi have a shooting game that works with some sort of rounds, for instance, this round is gonna show 4 enemies on the screen that the user has to shoot. I show the 4 enemies at a half seconds interval of each one so it doesnt all appear on the same time. Using something like:
enemiesShowTimer = new Timer(0.5 * 1000, 1);
enemiesShowTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, showEnemyAtTime);
enemiesShowTimer.start();
The player has 2 seconds to kill each enemy after they appear, so i also use this:
enemiesCleanTimer = new Timer(roundConfig.getSecondsPerEnemy() * 1000, 1);
enemiesCleanTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, cleanEnemies);
enemiesCleanTimer.start();
The problem is, after the player dies i change scene and if i still have like 3 alive, enemies, the threads will try to run the methods and it will crash. I'm using always the same variable to the start the timer whenever i need it. How can i solve this? Will i have to store each "thread" (timer) on a list and then stop each one separately? Because the way it is, the other threads are in some sort of "limbo" and i cant stop then, just the last one.
I have been reading these forums for like 2 months, thus i never felt like being able to post something as a valuable answer to someone's problem, since i've been AS3ing for like 3 months now. I have a small problem here on a game that i am trying to create. I am trying to make a shooter game . Like the ones u kill enemies and then the the level advances ( imagine the pseydomovement depth feel of the background giving the player the taste of further movement of the field , yes like old airplane games ). Ok to the point.
1) created a main .as where all the code is running. The movement of the player is written there also. no problem with that. 2) created a bullet class where i assign the bullet speed and i check for the collisions with enemies. the problem occurs somewhere here i have created a statement where every some time ( like 0,5 secs ) an enemy appears and takes a random road till the stageHeight . here is the code .

So when all 5 mikros are out i start firing them . BUT only the last child of mikros seems to follow the hittestobject procedure of my code. Which means that if all of the 5 mikros are on stage the one with the smallest .y value will disappear when hit by "sfera". I know it is huge but this pains my head for like 1 week and i cannot think anything . Tried some staff. but i do not know if this is proper thinking or if my programming is proper for this and i must redo all.
I'm an actionscript beginner and trying to write a class to make the 'enemies' follow the 'player' (shown below). I'm trying to write it such that it takes two MovieClips as arguments, and moves the first one toward the second one.

"ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on jab.enemy::FollowPlayer/followPlayer(). Expected 2, got 1."

View 1 RepliesMy fish is swimming along and needs to catch the food and avoid the poison. I've attempted to create arrays for the food and the poison so they are randomly dropping down. I've also added a hittest but can't get it to work.
I'm not really happy with the randomisation of the array, there are too many instances appearing on screen and I'm not sure how to fix this. Is there an easier way to animate the food dropping down without using as2 and arrays? There is also something wrong with my score, each food should be +10 to score and poison should be -10, but that doesn't seem to be working either. I also don't know what script to type to end the game to either a congratualtions screen or game over screen. Basically I have no idea what I'm doing and haven't had much help from my teacher, he may as well be speaking another language.

i will explain my problem according the 11th enemy (the last enemy in the level). i past here the answers i gave to people fron other forums..I'm making a platform game, and i have a problem. i am attaching 11 enemys, and my last enemy not appears. the _X of the 11th enemy is 3300.I tried a lot of stuff, and think, I discovered the source of the problem.on my hero class i wrote this:
_root._x -= (_root._x + (_x - 275)) / 5;
and when i changed it to this:
_root._x = -_x;
the last enemy appears!but i want it to be like first one.but it doesnt work.also, i found that if i placed the hero close to the last enemy, the last enemy appears.the _root._x refer to the stage and the _x refer to the hero.i found that if i remove this code(the gravity in the enemy class):
_y += grav;
grav += gravity;
