[F8] Platform Help
Hello, I'm having a little bit of a platform problem. For me it is always the simplest things that stump me. lol
At the moment I have a movie clip of one platform which is vertically the length of the entire movie. Now there is multiple key frames within the movie clip which have different platforms in them. Each key frame has a stop(); in it. Now I can get each platform to come out one after another, every time the platform leaves the movie, but how do I make it so each platform come in all touching each other. So just show me how you would write the code for platforms coming out in order that touch each other, hopefully using the frame method that I am.

Platform Detection Possible?
Hello...........need some help on this one...
I have a projector file that I use to link to external programs. I would like to figure out a way though for Windows 95 users to be directed to a certain scene or movie and other Windows users somewhere else. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know it would be more likely within an HTML page, but I need it to work in the projector format. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Tanx!

Problem is that when the movie hits the "get URL" action I get a "can't find file" message on the macs. Right now the get URL action is ../startshot/startshot.html. I can successfully put two different versions of the movie on the cd and each autstarts right now. I just need some help on how to change the action for the macs. Thanks.

Platform Problem
OK. I have a problem with my platforms in a platform-esque game i am making. When you jump under the platform you can get to the top. I want it so that if you jump under the platform it keeps you from getting to the top and keeps you down.

here is my script:
---------------------------------
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
m_bounds=new Object();
m_bounds=this.getBounds(_root);

if ( hitTest (_root.hero) ){
if ( _root.hero.b_edge <= m_bounds.Xmax){

_root.hero._y=m_bounds.Ymax-16;

_root.hero.platform="on";}

}

}
-------------------------------------------
thanks

Cross Platform PC Vs. MAC
I’m sure this is a stupid question. At work I work on a PC and have the Macromedia Professional bundle that includes both Flash and Dreamweaver MX along with other applications. At home I work on a G4 Mac and have Dreamweaver and Flash 5. I am considering upgrading to MX at home but don’t really have the money right now. Is Macromedia’s software cross platform so I can take my files from my home G4 to my work PC and back again with out a problem? Or can I assume that I can only work on work files at work on the PC?

I need help in the backgrounds of my game, what im trying to do is to scroll the background when the sprite is at half of the screen. Im making a racing game, so i would want to have a scrolling background, so it appears to move as my car moves. Also if anyone knows how to create random cars that would help too. Thanks

OS/Platform Sniffer
Is it possible to use actionscript to detect the OS platform that a user has? specifically i want to know if the user is using a mac or a pc. if there is not a way to do this within the flash module, is there some simple javascript function that can do this? and if so, whats the easiest way to pass this variable into flash?

cheers

Platform/hittest
my fall speed is 15 and I tried

Wall3 is my platforms name. I slow down a little but I don't stop.

Platform Game
Hi, I'm trying to modify a platform game that I found on the web.

Whenever the hero lands on a platform, I want a movieclip to play from my library. So when the hero lands on the first platform a movieclip from the library would play, then when the hero lands on the second platform, a different movieclip would play, and so on.

I've almost got it working for the first platform by using this code on the hero movieclip:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.platform)) {
_root.funFactHolder.attachMovie("funFact1","newIns tanceName", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
}
}

But when I use this code, the movieclip "funFact1" only plays when I move the hero off of the platform, I want it to play when the hero first lands on the platform. Then, I'm not sure how to make the second movieclip play when the hero lands on the second platform.

I'm in a real mess here, and I'm not too hot with actionscript.

Can anyone offer me any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Platform Game - Uh, Help.
Hey Everyone,
I've been wrestling with this platform game that I'm trying to get going. I'm stuck yet again.

I have a movieclip that plays when the hero lands on a particular platform. I'm using this code on the platform to detect if the hero lands on it:

onClipEvent (load) {
var shouldPlay:Boolean = true;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.player)) {
if (shouldPlay) {
_root.holderSixFive.attachMovie("funFactSixFive"," newInstanceName", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
shouldPlay = false;

}
} else {
shouldPlay = true;
}
}

Now, is there a way to make this movieclip stop playing when the hero leaves the platform?

So it only plays while he's standing on it, when he leaves, the movieclip stops, so a person doesn't have to watch the whole movieclip if they want to continue playing the game.

As always, thanks for everyone's help.

Platform Hit Test
im trying to make a platform game. I cant get an object to detect its touching another one. im trying to use this to detect that the character has touched the ground movie clip, which in turn will tell him to stop falling:

if (_root.ground.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true))

But it doesnt do anything. He falls right through it. What am I doing wrong?

Platform Game Help
I took the original game from Kirupa and edited it to be like the Gameboy version of Legend of Zelda as best as I could, but I can't figure out how to make my hero not fall unless I put a hole in the map, and how to make it so that when I would move him up and down the screen follows him instead of just going left to right. Also how to make him move up and down without falling or jumping.
Also, how would I make a score variable that I can edit during the game from pickups and such and can be accessed later on a different frame?

Can someone please help me with those?

[F8] Platform Game Help?
I was checking out baz_productions tutorial, "Creating a simple Platform game", and used his code to try and make the character I had developed stand on the platforms I had created.

However, I can't figure out how to make his feet designate whether he's on the platform or not. The top of the clip is what's holding on to the platform, which is definitely not what I'm looking for.

Any help? Here's my code:

Code applied to the character:

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
gravity = 10;
scale = _xscale;
walkSpeed = 6;
maxjump = 6;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (air == true) {
_y += gravity;
state = 3;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !_root.leftbound.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
_x -= walkSpeed;
_xscale = -scale;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && !_root.rightbound.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
_x += walkSpeed;
_xscale = scale;
}
if (_root.platforms.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
air = false;
} else {
air = true;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && jump == true) {
_y -= jumpSpeed;
}
if (air == false) {
jump = true;
jumpcount = 0;
jumpSpeed = 22;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
jumpcount += 1;
}
if (jumpcount>maxjump && jumpSpeed>-2) {
jumpSpeed -= 2;
}
if (air == false && !Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe<4 or air == false && !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe<4 or air == false && !Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe<5) {
state = 1;
walkSpeed = 6;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && air == false && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe<4 or Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && air == false && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe<4) {
state = 2;
walkSpeed = 6;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && air == false && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe<4) {
state = 4;
walkSpeed = 12;
}
if (!Key.isDown(65)) {
gotoAndStop(state);
}
_root.statetxt = state;
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
if (Key.getCode() == 83) {
jump = false;
}
}

And here's the code on the platforms:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.deathTrap.hitTest(_x,_y,true)) {
gotoAndStop(deathFrame);
}
}

[F8] Platform Game Help
I'm making a Platform game and I'm having trouble with it.
The character is always in the wrong position at the wrong time. also im not too sure how to make the guy run. I have the running MC in the Game though

Any help would be appreciated

[MX] Scrolling Platform
Ok, this question is a cross of actionscript and general flash...

How do you create a scrolling game, where the background changes, the character moves, and interacts with the environment? But you can still access menus that change...

for example: totally not trying to copy their idea or game type, but the scrolling, + menu thing

Frank's Adventure.

You can unlock things, while roaming the entire city, without any particular order...

can someone please explain how to set something like this up?????

Platform Scrolling
Currently I've recently completed a tutorial for making a platform game in action script 3.
The tutorial however only covers how to scroll the screen to the right. I was thinking of using this example and expanding upon it. So my question is how would I go about making it scroll up and down as well as left and right.

Currently the code provided
Hero= Movie clip Simple movie clip with different animation to move around the level.
Game level = Movie clip. Each Game Level is on each frame.
edgedistance is the static const so the screen knows to move left or right with that many pixels left to go.

public function scrollWithHero() {
var stagePosition:Number = gamelevel.x+hero.mc.x;
var rightEdge:Number = stage.stageWidth-edgeDistance;
var leftEdge:Number = edgeDistance;
if (stagePosition > rightEdge) {
gamelevel.x -= (stagePosition-rightEdge);
if (gamelevel.x < -(gamelevel.width-stage.stageWidth)) gamelevel.x = -(gamelevel.width-stage.stageWidth);
}
if (stagePosition < leftEdge) {
gamelevel.x += (leftEdge-stagePosition);
if (gamelevel.x > 0) gamelevel.x = 0;
}

So for a vertical position I would just need to replace the x's with y's and make a static const for roof distance?

var stagePosition:Number = gamelevel.y+hero.mc.y;
var rightUEdge:Number = stage.stageHeight+roofDistance;
var leftUEdge:Number = roofDistance;
if (stagePosition > rightUEdge) {
gamelevel.y = (stagePosition+rightUEdge);
if (gamelevel.y < +(gamelevel.height+stage.stageHeight)) gamelevel.y = +(gamelevel.height+stage.stageHeight);

}

if (stagePosition < leftUEdge) {
gamelevel.y += (leftUEdge+stagePosition);
if (gamelevel.y > 0) gamelevel.y = 0;
}
}

The screen does scroll up in this instance but only if I go downwards. Your thoughts?

Platform Game - How Do I's
Hi,
Im about to embark on writing some sort of platform game but have run in to a couple of 'issues'.

Im going to build the map up from tiles. Each tile will be either a platform, wall, backgound etc and my main character will need to detect collision with these. There will also be AI baddies that will need to do the same, all these will be shooting each other so the bullets need to detect collisions with all these other objects and walls etc.

So i am just wondering how you do this, short of a big collision detecting routine for each object vs each object which i dont imagine will be too efficient.

Any help or ideas appreciated

please can some one put light on my such problem

Platform Problems
I am currently producing a portfolio for my year 12 media course, and I am doing it all in flash. I wanted to do something unique, so I decided to make the interface a 2D platform game, so you control the character to go to different areas to look at different information.

I have everything down pat for the platform coding apart from one thing, the left and right boundaries do not work 100%. If you are running directly into a boundry, and jump, to get over it, such as a box, everything will move slightly to the left or right. It depends on whish way your running. It means all the boundries do not line up with the sprites so the guy will seem to float in mid air, or starts running and hits an invisble boundary that should be a few pixels to the left.

I have seen heaps of flash platform games that don't seem to use left right boundaries, the environment isn't flat... like fancy pants.

How could I...
a) stop the problem with the moving boundaries
or
b) make the platforms so that it works like fancy pants, or sonic and such

Platform Game Help
Hello everyone,

I've been around this forum for a while and have learned a lot from here. Nowadays I am creating games - at least trying to develop games with flash. I'm working on a platform game. But I have a problem figuring something out here.. I have made my character move from left to right, jump, gravity is working fine and it does get the ground<>character collision, but as the ground goes up, the character stays on the same _Y height coordination. Let me try to explain what I mean;

The sprite is the ball;
http://project-midori.com/actionscri...ms/example.JPG
The ball's _Y coordination should go up as it walks up the ground..

I've seen an example of someone who made this game succeeding in what I am trying to accomplish for quite some time.. >_<
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/355647

Can anybody please explain me how this could be done, or point me to someone who does know?
I've looked all over Google, but non of the tutorials that I have found so far explain this..

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I tried looking for a Game Section, but couldn't find one, I hope I did not post this in the wrong section, wouldn't want to screw up on my first post.. >_>

Platform Jumping Help
As you can tell (or maybe you can't) im new to action script and whenever I try my code to make him jump onto platforms he can jump on them but never off... can anyone edit my code please? Or just giving me their own code to make a platform jumper would be great!!! Any help is appreciated although the best was you could help me is to send any platformer fla. files you have to my email jmclune@gmail.com. PS: It's for Flash MX 2004.

Here's my code.

Character Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
y_start = _y;
jumping = false;
jumpspeed = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (jumping) {
_y += jumpspeed;
jumpspeed += 1;
if (_y>=y_start) {
_y = y_start;
}
}
else {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
jumping = true;
jumpspeed = -14;
}
}
}

Background Code (Attempt #1):

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.man)){
_root.man._y -= 5;
}
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.man)){
_root.man.jumping = false;
}
}

Thanks for the help! (If you give it...)

Platform Game Help....
Well, I've got this code here for my character. It's instance name is 'circle', though the character itself is animated, that's just to keep it simple.

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
     fall = false;
     _name = "circle";
     jump = 0;
     speed = 6;
     jumpheight = 11;
     maxfall = -54;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     xmin = getBounds(_root).xMin;
     xmax = getBounds(_root).xMax;
     ymin = getBounds(_root).yMin;
     ymax = getBounds(_root).yMax;
     if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && fall == false && jump == undefined) {
          fall = true;
          jump = jumpheight;
     }
     if (jump<>undefined) {
          if (jump>maxfall) {
               jump--;
          }
          _y -= jump;
     }
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
          _x -= speed;
          if(_xscale==100){_xscale=-100;}
     }
     if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
          _x += speed;
          if(_xscale==-100){_xscale=100;}
     }
}

Now, this makes the character land on a platform and turn around fine, though my characters movie clip is one frame long, and therefore animated within itself(you know, when you double click). And the character keeps walking no matter what button you press(or don't press). So I need a code to make the character stop walking when no buttons are pressed.
Thanks.

PS. The platform code I have is this:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
     activated = false;
     down = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
     _root.report.text = Math.round(_root.circle.yMax)+" "+Math.round(yMin);
     xmin = getBounds(_root).xMin;
     xmax = getBounds(_root).xMax;
     ymin = getBounds(_root).yMin;
     ymax = getBounds(_root).yMax;
     if (_root.circle.xMax>xMin && _root.circle.xMin<xMax && _root.circle.yMax<yMin) {
          if (_root.circle.yMax-_root.circle.jump*2>yMin) {
               _root.circle._y = ymin-_root.circle._height/2;
               _root.circle.jump = undefined;
               _root.circle.fall = false;
               activated = true;
          }
     }
     if (Math.round(_root.circle.yMax)>Math.round(yMin)) {
          if (hitTest(_root.circle) && _root.circle.xmax<xmin) {
               _root.circle._x -= _root.circle.speed;
          }
          if (hitTest(_root.circle) && _root.circle.xmin>xmax) {

Maybe that can help......

Platform Game
Hello people. I'm trying to build a simple game: a platform (a kind of) and I want my character to move on the terrain which is not completely flat. It has smooth bumps. (something like this http://www.pyramid-games.com/bud/screenshot_01.jpg just to get an idea). Now here is my problem: When the character is on a bump i'd like to see changing his orientation according to the normal at that position.
For instance if he's at the beginning of a hill, he should change his orientation to 40 degrees which turn to 0 as he moves to the top of the hill.
I was almost forgetting that the terrain is just a shape drawn within flash converted to movieclip.

Any help vould be appreciated.

Sorry, Your Platform Is Not Supported?
I'm trying to install the NBA Broadband package on my laptop. It's a package that allows me to view all the NBA games online. They say they require the latest Flash and when I click the link they provide it takes me to the Adobe Flash page where it says "Sorry, your platform is not supported."

Does anybody know what is going on here/

Thank you very much for the help!
