Flash :: Walls/Boundaries

Walls / Boundaries
And yet another problem arises, but this time its something ive always had a problem with WALLS.

After many attempts at creating walls in games the best I can come up with is the .fla linked to this thread.

As you can see this is a very long and annoying way of creating walls.
606 lines of script is too much for a basic set of walls

If anyone can help me on finding some sort of shortcut, it would be VERY much appreciated.

How Do I Solve Problem Regrading Boundaries/walls Changing Scene And Question About B
Hi,

Sorry to trouble you guys again, thanks for the great advice some of you have given me. Well i am facing some queries, hope you guys can help me out.

First
I have written codes for boundaries/walls that it should let the moving character stay in the space in it, but after some tries, it still fails.

My character code:
onClipEvent (load) {
moveSpeed = 3;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y -= moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y += moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= moveSpeed;
}
}

My walls/boundaries code:

Wall 1:
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{ if (this.hitTest(_root.Wall))
{ _x = _x+10;
}
}

Wall 2:
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{ if (this.hitTest(_root.Wall2))
{ _y = _y+10;
}
}

Wall 3:
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{ if (this.hitTest(_root.Wall3))
{ _y = _y-10;
}
}

Wall 4:
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{ if (this.hitTest(_root.Wall4))
{ _y = _y-10;
}
}

Done. As for after a few tries, my character will move out of the walls and cannot stay in the visable area. Am i on the right track?

Second
I want to make my character move from scene to scene. I started by creating a door and follow a game tutorial help and try to use it. I also create another door and set the codes as taught so that the character would appear on the second position. but when i reach the door on the first scene, it does not change the scene. Can i ask how should i do or what codes i should set so that when my character step on the door/portal, it will switch the player to the next screen/map.

Third

Can i create a button and set a diameter/radius around it(e.g a telephone booth set as a button function) and when the character in the story move to the diameter of the button, it will be able to select the function if let say we press an enter key in the moblie device. (e.g when the character move to the detect space of the telephone booth, it is able to use the next scene i set for the telephone booth).

Thank you for answering my queries and spending your time reading, your help will be very useful. hope to hear from you guys as soon as possible. Thank you once again

Regrads,

What is the action script that you would put on a ''wall'' to make a movie clip called ''ball'' to bounce off slightly when it touches it?

thanks in advance,

Walls
Okay, I can move a 2-d character left and right, make it look like its heading towards the back, by simply using _xscale and _yscale to make it seem 3d, except for the character. But this is my actual question. How do I get the characters stop at the edge of the screen? left-right-back-foward.

Thank you in advance.

Walls In Car Game
Hey everyone,
Im making a GTA style car game in flash MX, and i cannot figure out how to make walls and buildings work properly.
I mean, i drew them, and made them a graphic, now i need the actionscript to make them so that my car does not go through them, but hits them instead and bounces off, and i also need a script that will make 2 cars hit each other and bounce off rather than going over each other.

If someone can help me out that would be great,
Thanks a million

Game Walls
Im working on a Racing game in flash... in the game you drive a "hover craft" (just cuz i couldnt get realistic motion physics of a car) when you hit up the walls (a big square with sections for a trake erased from it) move down so you dont move but it looks like you do.. my problem is that when you hit a wall i want you to just bounce off... i have tried a few things where you either get sucked in, get stuck in between the 2, and or you just dont move and have to wiggle your way out... heres the code i used from memory

xspeed = (some formula to find speed)
yspeed = (another formula to find speed)
the motion controls
with(_root.walls){
if(cars.hittest(getbounds(_root))._xMax, _y, true) { (if thats not perfect sorry i cant completely remember it )
_x += xspeed;
_y - yspeed; (when you move forward the y is += yspeed and the x is -= yspeed so i reversed them... the current demo is at NNgames.bakagamer.net/Game2.htm

ill post more later if ur still confused

Bounce Off Walls
hey guys, i've attached a file for you to look at. when you open it go to the "menu" scene (there's nothing in gameplay yet, but i will need your help there too probably in the future). in menu, see that little black ball on the right (frame 38)? can you show me what action to add to that ball to make it start from that point... pick a random direction to go in... and whenever it hits any of the walls to bounce back... i want it to just continue to bounce around the screen in the background. (of course though, i want it to bounce back continueing on at the angle it hit the wall from.... do you follow me? did i phrase that right? do you get why i'm TRYING to say?)

Headbuttin' Walls
Any Flashers out there? and not in the rude sense!!

Anyway, here is my short story, and hopefully some of you might be able to help the newbie "Flasher"

Bought a template, from template monster, ok ok stop laughing, but we gotta start (cheat) somewhere right? The whole site has been made, in one .fla file.
I have edited the graphics, text etc, thats all great, managed to do that and keep it going ok.

I am using Flash MX, 6 rev2

The whole site is.....let me tab screens....is 235 frames long and has 16 layers

Everything looks fine, all uploaded to the domain,

Then i had the idea of making the "contact form" to work, which i did, with some great success, using the following:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._php_email.htm

Edited my form to use the above, and yes!!!!! my message appeared in my mailbox! sucess! only....i recieved 19 emails, saying the same thing, because my site did not inform me that the message was sent, but when i tested kirupa
.swf file and the php script on my server, it worked fine, sent me the email, and the .swf file told me "thank you for your input"

so the downloaded .fla/.swf and the .php files i downloaded from the site works,

I notice that the downloaded form has two frames, so i just simply cut and paste the stuff into my sites .fla, exported movie, uploaded it to my server, yes the contact form show, and yes it works, but it still dont tell me that message has been sent.

So, i think i have to, some how, put the downloaded contact form into my .fla, which to the page its got to go on, is Frame number 180 of 235 and is on layer 7 i belive, how the hell do i do that?

please help me, ive looked all over the forums and cant find anything

Help With Collision With Walls?
well just within the last month iv picked up actionscript and im trying to make a simple platform game from scratch. well i couldnt get a floor to work. i was using hitTest but it never works right. i have a static ground right now. but i want to take that out and just make the ground a collision thing that stops the hero MC. so can someone please edit this to make the mc "hero" stop of hitTest with another mc, just call it "wall". oh and this code was all written to work on the first frame of _root, i just think its easier to edit when its all there. thanks

PHP Code:

gravity=2
ground=300
power=20
onEnterFrame=function(){
     yspeed-=gravity
     hero._y-=yspeed
     if(hero._y>ground){
          yspeed=0
          hero._y=300
          jumping=false
     }
     if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
          hero._x-=5;
          hero._xscale=-100;
          hero.gotoAndStop("walkright");
     }
     else if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
          hero._x+=5;
          hero._xscale=100;
          hero.gotoAndStop("walkright");
     }
     else{
          hero.gotoAndStop("herostop");
     }
     if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){

You dont need to know about cloud speed

This be my code:

ActionScript Code:
for (i = 0; i < maxbox; i++) {
if (p1.hitTest(_root["wall"+i]))
{
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && facingright == false) {
bg._x -= throwback;
clouds._x -= cloudspeed;

for(i = 0; i < maxbox; i++)
{
_root["platform"+i]._x -= throwback;
_root["wall"+i]._x -= throwback;
}
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && facingright == true) {
bg._x += throwback;
clouds._x += cloudspeed;

for(i = 0; i < maxbox; i++)

A Little Problem With My Walls......
I have a slight problem with my walls when I use hittest.

In my game I have a sort of maze thing, which is navigated by a guy I nicknamed "Joe"

I'm using hittest to stop Joe passing through the walls, and was having sucess untill I split the walls in half, so that the charecter wouldn't pass through it.

The wall looks like this: (if it was a diagram!)

-------------- Top movie clip
-------------- Bottom movie clip

I did this to stop the charecter passing through the walls, but when I try to pass through top movie clip, it lets me through, even though I coded to push the charecter away

the top wall code:

Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this, hittest(_root.Joe)) {
_root.Joe._y = _root.Joe._y - 12;
}
}
The bottom code works fine (it's the same, but with a + sign)

Any ideas? or even better, is there another way?

Thankyou!

Need To Make Walls
i am making a game for my flash class and i need the code to make an object not go through another. i know it is a hittest and i tried making it so when it hits
speedX=-speedX;
speedY=-speedY;
this just reverses my controls
and when i set it equal to zero it locks up my character
to control that i use
if(key.isDown(KEY.UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT)){
speedX/Y=+/- #
}
the basic thing is to move my character in between two lines and just in cases i control it wrong and hit a wall my controls arent reversed or locked up
please help so i dont fail out of my class

Walking Through Walls?
Alright, so I've been working through the How to Create a Platform Game tutorial from the main site, and I've gotten to the point where you add in walls. Now, for whatever reason, the HitTest between the wall and the character isn't responding, letting the character walk through the walls. However, if the character is jumping, it does trigger, and after a seemingly random amount of time, it starts triggering for the character while he's walking too.
In case that wasn't very understandable, I've included the FLA here so that one can try it for themselves (just walk through the wall and you'll see the problem).
Now, I've been following the tutorial exactly , so I don't know how there could be a problem (unless it comes from using Flash 8, rather than MX '04 that the tutorial was made for), so could somebody with more knowledge please tell me what the problem is here?

This is the code I am using for making walls but sadly ... Neither walls work :-S ... Any help plz?

Btw is there anyway I can do like ...

Code:
if(_root.You.hitTest(_root.Background.Wall))
{_root.Speed = 0;} else {_root.Speed = 7;}
And both walls be named Wall[1] and Wall[2], and in the code I can just name both walls as "Wall" Instead of "Wall1" and "Wall2" ...

but when I try to name it Wall[1] it says "Wall[1]" :Reserved By the System.

Bouncing Objects Off Walls
Ok... I am trying to get a simple object (a dot) to bounce off at a respected angle once it hits a certain point.

So far I have:
onClipEvent(Load){
_x = 200;
_y = 100;
_rotation = (Math.random() * 360) + 1;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//propulsion
_x = _x + (Math.cos(_rotation * (Math.PI / 180)) * 5);
_y = _y + (Math.sin(_rotation * (Math.PI / 180)) * 5);

Now, as far as getting the object to bounce off the wall at a respected angle, my brain just blows up. I know that the in order to get it to bounce off I need to subtract the the angle that it hit the wall at from 180. But I just get confused when writting the code. If any of you could help, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Oh, by the way, I am using Flash MX.

Gaming - Walls (Hittest)
Hi Guys, i'm trying to make a simple game where the man that you control can walk around a top-down view of an apartment.

I can get it so the hittest detects and stops him when he hits the wall, but then he won't move again.

I think it's because the man uses a play() function.

I've uploaded it to: http://download.dhardy.co.uk/Walking.fla

Really am unsure if i'm going down the right path, but hopefully i can get it sorted as i have to have it done by next friday!

Thanks in advance! Dave
