Shooting Multiple Bullets
I have this code and it want it so that it will shoot multiple bullets, currentgun 2 is a shotgun, also how do I make it so that you can hold the mouse down to shoot?

Code:
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
fireBullets();
var i;
function fireBullets() {
i++;
speed = _root.hero.currentgunspeed;
var newname = "bullet"+i;
_root.attachMovie("bullet", newname, i*100);
if (_root.hero.currentgun == 2){
i++;
_root.attachMovie("bullet", newname, i*100);
i++;
_root.attachMovie("bullet", newname, i*100);
}
_root[newname]._y = _root.hand._y;
_root[newname]._x = _root.hand._x;
_root[newname]._y = _root.hand._y;
_root[newname]._x = _root.hand._x;
_root[newname]._rotation = _root.hand._rotation;
_root[newname].sety = _root._ymouse;
_root[newname].setx = _root._xmouse;
_root[newname].createy = _root.hero._y;
_root[newname].createx = _root.hero._x;
_root[newname].timetokill = 0;
myRadians = Math.atan2(_root[newname].sety-_root.hero._y, _root[newname].setx-_root.hero._x);
_root.xMove = Math.cos(myRadians)*speed;
_root.yMove = Math.sin(myRadians)*speed;
_root[newname].movey = _root.ymove;
_root[newname].movex = _root.xmove;
_root[newname].onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y += this.movey;
this._x += this.movex;
this.timetokill++;
for (n=0; n<20; n++) {
var name = "enemy"+n;
if (_root[name].hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)) {
_root[name].health -= _root.hero.currentgundamage;
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}

Shooting Multiple Bullets
Hello everyone,
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.

...

if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
{

bullet_right_mc.y = (ball_mc.y -38);
bullet_right_mc.x = (ball_mc.x + 253);
bullet_right_mc.gotoAndPlay("shoot");
}

...

Thanks

Ryan

I am making a paintball game and I want a computer that is always shooting at the player. How would I do this?

Shooting
Hi, can someone help me make a computer that is continally shooting?
I have this code which rotates the computer
onClipEvent (load) {
[load];
angle = 80;
speed = 2;
offset = 0;
rad_conv = Math.PI/180;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
X = this._x;
Y = this._y;
Xm = _root.spaceship._x;
Ym = _root.spaceship._y;
Xdiff = Xm-X;
Ydiff = Ym-Y;
radAngle = Math.atan2(Ydiff, Xdiff);
this._rotation = radAngle*360/(2*Math.PI);
}

Shooting
some1 can tell me plz what is wrong in here-

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.shot, hitTest(_root.bad)) {
_root.text = "Collision Detected";
} else {
_root.text = "No Collision";
}
}

because when I tested it, all I can see in the text area is No Collision even when the "shot" hitted the "bad".
so what can I do?

But how to do shooting to right and to left.

Second thing,what I don´t know,is:

How to do jumping WITH DIFFERENT SPRITES,WHEN JUMPING AND DIFFERENT SPRITES,WHEN LANDING.I know that,how to DO JUMPING,but with different sprites when landing and actually jumping.

Okay,that´s all I don´t know!!! (I´m making that game on Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004.

[CS3] Shooting AS2
Ok.. i made a submarine game where u have to capture fish with a net, then i added stingray which are to be shot with a different weapon. The net is a bullet and I want the spear to be 2nd bullet but for some reason i cant have 2 bullets,, When i dont have the second bullets coding on the first bullet works fine but when i put in the second bullet's coding the first dosnt work.. any ideas??

p.s i have reduced alot of the fla. file because of size.

I now realise this should have gone in the actionscript forum, sorry

Im having a problem in creating an MC duplicate when a button is pressed.
I want to be able to create a new 'playershot' MC each time space bar is hit.
Currently, each time i hit it the same MC returns to its
player_mc._y +2;
player_mc._x + 80;
location instead of duplicating it.

Also, if i hold the space bar, the playershot mc stays in the
player_mc._y +2;
player_mc._x + 80;
location, instead of a steam of bullets appearing.

Any ideas?

//player movement here but it works so i wont bother posting it

if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
playershoot(); }

var i;

function playershoot()
{
i++;

var newname = "playershot" + i;

_root.attachMovie("playershot", newname, i*100);
_root[newname]._y = player_mc._y +2;
_root[newname]._x = player_mc._x + 80;

_root[newname].onEnterFrame = function()
{
var bullet_speed = 30;

this._x += bullet_speed;

if (this._x > 800)

this.removeMovieClip();
}

Shooting Tut
Hi,

I have just read the tut on the shooting aspect of games and i tried it for myself. I altered it so that you shoot on the x axis and you shoot when the space button is pressed.

My question is, how do you make the bullets shoot when the space button is releases? And or can make the bullet shoot at an interval of one second or so when the space is pressed... The bullets for me are shooting at a continuous streem and that may be a too great advantage for a user...

Any help would be great, Thanks...

Help With Shooting Things
I have a little guy that shoots arrows. He can shoot while moving or when standing still. Problem is, eg.

I shoot an arrow using the ctrl key. Fine. If I happen to hit the ctrl key again, the original arrow that was shot off dissapears and a new arrow is shot. Also, if I just hold down the ctrl key, the arrow just sits at the point where it will start from and when i release the ctrl key, the arrow fires as it should. I know that it is something not put in the right spot or loop maybe? Here is my code attached to main char:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
shoot = 0;
arrowCounter = 0;
if (abletomove == true) {
if ((Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) && shoot == 0) {
n = _root.player._currentframe;
if (n == 1) {
arrowCounter++;
_root.arrowS.duplicateMovieClip("arrowS"+arrowCoun ter, arrowCounter);
_root["arrowS"+arrowCounter]._visible = true;
shoot = 1;
}
if (n == 2) {
arrowCounter++;
_root.arrowN.duplicateMovieClip("arrowN"+arrowCoun ter, arrowCounter);
_root["arrowN"+arrowCounter]._visible = true;
shoot = 1;
}
if (n == 3) {
arrowCounter++;
_root.arrowW.duplicateMovieClip("arrowW"+arrowCoun ter, arrowCounter);
_root["arrowW"+arrowCounter]._visible = true;
shoot = 1;
}
if (n == 4) {
arrowCounter++;
_root.arrowE.duplicateMovieClip("arrowE"+arrowCoun ter, arrowCounter);
_root["arrowE"+arrowCounter]._visible = true;
shoot = 1;
}
}

So I have a var called 'shoot' that basically prevents more than one arrow from being fired at a time. Please help me, I know this is one of those 'DOH' easy problems but I am stumped. :s

Shooting At Any Angle
Hi,At the moment I have a movie clip that can move left right, up, and down, as well as rotate to any angle by keystroke. I was wondering though how
to write the code so it can shoot at any angle of rotation? At the moment the laser will follow the rotation of the movieclip, but will only go in the _x or
the _y coordinate, never both. Any ideas?

This is on the movieclip:
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
_x = _x+2;
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
_x = _x-2;
} else if (Key.getCode() == 40) {
_y = _y+2;
} else if (Key.getCode() == 38) {
_y = _y-2;
} else if (Key.getCode() == 90) {
_rotation += -2;
_root.laser._rotation += -2;
} else if (Key.getCode() == 88) {
_rotation += 2;
_root.laser._rotation += 2;
} else if (Key.getCode() == 32) {
tank_x = getProperty("_root.tank", _x);
tank_y = getProperty("_root.tank", _y);
_root.laser.duplicateMovieClip("laser");
setProperty (_root.laser, _x, tank_x);
setProperty (_root.laser, _y, tank_y);

This is on the laser at the moment:

onClipEvent (load) {
laserMoveSpeed = 20;
this._x = _root.tank._x+60;
this._y = _root.tank._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x += laserMoveSpeed;
if (this._x>600 or this._y<0) {
this.removeMovieClip();

Thanks,

Soccer Shooting Help
I have a soccer game with a player who can run in all 8 directions using the arrow keys N, NE, E etc.. he also shoots the ball when the player has it (via a powerbar). However he only shoots Upwards regardless of the direction he is facing.
How would i get the ball to fire off in the right direction? eg. if player was running UpRight (North East direction) then the ball would fire in this direction?

Would i be thinking along the right lines to say if the player was facing NE that the angle of the ball that comes off Player would be 45° or NW equals -45°?

any help would be appreciated.

This script on main timeline allows the Player to get the ball and run with it attached to him also allows the player to shoot upwards with a powerbar (power) (it was adapted from a game which depended on rotation of the player so may not be that useful)

if (ball._x>Player._x-20 && ball._x<Player._x+20 && ball._y>Player._y-20 && ball._y<Player._y+20) {
Player.gotball = 1;
ball._rotation = Player._rotation;
ball._y = Player._y-math.cos(0.01745*Player._rotation)*15;
ball._x = Player._x+math.sin(0.01745*Player._rotation)*15;
} else {
Player.gotball = 0;
}
power._width = Player.force*5;
if (key.isdown(key.shift) && Player.gotball) {
if (Player.force<20) {
Player.force += 0.5;
}
} else {
if (Player.gotball == 1) {
ball.speed = Player.force;
ball.play();
}
Player.force = 0;
}

--------------------------
The ball mc has the following within it:

FRAME 1
stop action

FRAME 2

if (_y<=bounds.up) {
_y = bounds.up;
if (_rotation>=0) {
_rotation = 180-_rotation;
} else {
_rotation = -(180+_rotation);
}
} else if (_y>=bounds.down) {
_y = bounds.down;
if (_rotation>=0) {
_rotation = -(180+_rotation);
} else {
_rotation = 180-_rotation;
}
}
if (_x<=bounds.left) {
_x = bounds.left;
_rotation = -_rotation;
} else if (_x>=bounds.right) {
_x = bounds.right;
_rotation = -_rotation;
}
_y -= Math.cos(0.01745*_rotation)*speed;
_x += Math.sin(0.01745*_rotation)*speed;
if (speed>0.1) {
speed -= 0.1;
} else {
speed = 0;
prevFrame();
}

FRAME 3

prevFrame();
play();

Intelligent Shooting
Hey, in the game i am currently making i have enemy ships that fire. at present the fire is just moving with "this._x -= 20;".

What im trying to achieve is for the shot to know where the spaceship is, and head towards it, idealy when fired there would be a few lines of code that take the _x and _y positions of the spaceship instance(but only at the time of fire, i dont want the fire to follow the spacehip instance) and head towards it, then carry on going untill off screen, rather than just stop there.

Ive been trying this for hours, but am at a complete loss, can any1 help me?

Shooting Problem
I got this code from a tutorial, it's works fine but I want the bullet to be placed a little away from the counter (who shoots).

// set bullet location and direction
clip = _root["bullet"+level];
clip._x = counterA._x;
clip._y = counterA._y;
clip.dx = 20.0*Math.cos(2.0*Math.PI*(counterA._rotation-95+random(15))/360.0);
clip.dy = 20.0*Math.sin(2.0*Math.PI*(counterA._rotation-95+random(15))/360.0);

Car Chase Shooting
Ok, the typical qu. "how do you make a bullet shoot from a MC" qu. most of been asked so much now! But i searched, and didnt really find anything.
So how do you use script a bullet to be shoot from the _x and _y of an MC,
do you use duplicateMovieClip script?
Ive tried that, a simple

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
i++
duplicateMovieClip(_root.bullet, "bullet"+i, i);
}
}

But the MC, just goes back to the place it starts from! (I used onClipEvent (load) to get the _x and _y right and an onClipEvent (enterframe) for the movement).Click here to see the swf
.Click me!
to show wha (the graphics suck i know, they are blocks! i do the graphics after the script)t is happening!

What is wrong with my script? I know something is wrong? But how do i fix it!

Thanks in advance!

Shooting Game Help
hey, im trying to get this game up and running, it wont look like this, but i need to get the code right. I need someone to tell me how i can get the gun to shoot, and explain the code if u would.

Shooting Problem
Hello everyone,
I was wondering how I could have a gun shoot, and have whatever the gun's laser pointer was pointed at get hit? I would like to not have actual bullets if at all possible. Also, could I have there be some interaction between the laser and the object it's pointed at? I looked around in the tutorial section, but there wasnt anything that I was really looking for. Thanks!

P.S. The "gun" in question is a button, not a movie clip, that fallows the mouse (if that helps at all).

Fix A Shooting Game
i have this shooting duck game with not so perfect script. i have problem to keep each duck the same destance apart from each other. duck will go faster and faster after shoot a duck...... and when they mover really fast, ducks appear too close or too far from each others. how to keep them consistency. Also, i need a timer for all three levels so each level will need to finish within 10 second. i made the timer function in the game but it is not working. 1. it should start timing once click on the buttong from"introwin" adn start new timing over again after click on 'introwin2". Timing will be 10 seconds. Also, if time reach before user finish the level then should direct to gotoandstop("non").

thanks.
