I have one character which can face several directions: t, b, l, r, tl, tr, bl, br.The type of camera is top-down 2d
T stands for Top, which is when he is looking to the top of the screen
B = Bottom
L = Left
R = Right
The character can look to other directions, like the Top-Left of the screen, which is tl
How do I calculate which direction he should look to if I only have one variable, rotation?
How would I go about doing this but not directly like 360. like lets say my mouse is to the left of the character the character would than face its left frame I made for him like lets say his left frame is frame 2.
View 8 RepliesI wouldn't think this to be a very difficuly question to find a solution to. My question is; I have a movieclip with instance name "player" and I am trying to layout it's basic movement properties. I already have made it so that the mc will move up, down, left, and right. Cake. What I am having trouble with is getting the mc to rotate in the designated direction (right = 0 degrees, up = 90 degrees, etc).
I have tried using the xscale 100/-100 strategy, but that doen't do anything for up and down movements.
My code so far is as follows:
Actionscript Code:
playerDirection = 0;setInterval(function () {if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {setDirection(0);_root.player._x += 3;}if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {setDirection(1);_root.player._x -= 3;}if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {_root.player._y
[Code].....
Working on a maze game. When the leftkey is pressed the movieclip (char) should turn 90 degrees to the left.
char.scaleX *= -1;
However, the most important thing is that the character doesnt go through the walls of the maze.And I think thats my problem for implementing the code above.Because it doesnt work properly when i put in here;
if(!mazehit) {
char.y += speed;
char.scaleX *= -1;[code].....
I'm trying to accomplish something with flash but I'm having some problems, if not a solution I'm hoping someone can tell me a method and what I should read up on to do this: I want to have an image on the stage that has a gap the shape of a face in the middle of it, I'd then like to put a webcam feed behind it so people can line their face up in the gap and press a button to take a picture. (I've managed to put the webcam on the stage and take the picture but can't work out how to put it behind an image). Then I cant quite work out how I'd put the face onto a character I've drawn.

View 8 RepliesI tried almost everything to make my character stop when it detects a wall. It only works for UP and RIGHT or DOWN and LEFT but not all 4 directions, so only one y movement and one x movement. So I decided to make 4 functions, one for each direction. But then it only works when the left key is pressed and hits a wall.
What do I have to do to make the collision detection stop the character from moving in all 4 directions?
var leftArrow:Boolean;
var upArrow:Boolean;
var rightArrow:Boolean;

I'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 this code to add my missile to the screen PHP Code:

View 5 RepliesI 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 want to make the character in my flash game make a jump when the player presses a key,e.g. 'space',even the player release the key instantly,the character will still finish the complete jump process.
