Help On Making A Shooter Game
I'm begging with something very simple. My characters move, can be shoot, and it displays if you shot the person or not. Now that I have done that, I am so proud as dumb as that is, I'm gonna make more missions to my game. So I wanted to know, how would I make a game were say I had five people on screen and each could be shot. How would I make it so that they can be shot in any order and so that they all have timers for when they shoot at you, and finally a life bar. HOW?!? After I know the answer though I'll wonder how I missed it. :-)
Making A Shooter Game
Ok...im making a shooter game, where dudes run around the area and you have to shoot them. Now everything was going fine until i wanted the guy to get shot, Now i had a button over the top, that apparantly should have lead to the dying frame....but it isn't seeming to register as a button, can any one help?
Or even better could someone rectify the old FLA. file, then send it back, and tell me where i went wrong?
Making Scrolling Shooter, Need A Bit Of Help
I'm making a scrolling shooter. Here's the title screen: jordanissex.googlepages.com/aerostrike.html
If u press enter, you'll see an early version of the controls. When you turn left/right the plane slants/tips slightly, but it sort of "clicks" right to that frame. I have a sprite of the plane in between:
Straight:
ziggystardustmedicaldoctor.googlepages.com/straight.png
Left, transition:
ziggystardustmedicaldoctor.googlepages.com/left1.png
Left:
ziggystardustmedicaldoctor.googlepages.com/left2.png
..and i want to make it sort of animated, so that when you press left, or right, it smoothly (somewhat, how smooth could it be with 2 frames) tips in that direction. If that makes any sense.
Help?
Plz&Thx.

Making A First-person Shooter: How To "pop-up" Enemies?
Greetings All!
A coworker of mine will retire in a few months. As a way of having a bit of fun with him, I thought it'd be great if I could build a first-person shooter game with Flash... as if he came back after retirement and went "postal" !
(Yeah, it's a bit gruesome, but this guy is a grumpy old crumudgeon, so we'd be poking fun at his temper a bit.)
I thought I could take actual interior photos around here for
backgrounds... and I could turn the stock employee photos that
are "out there" on our network and make them the targets.
So, I've been reading various tutorials and trying things...
in-between my regular duties.
What I'd like to do is have my targets / victims "pop up"
randomly. But the only tutorials I'm finding that discuss this
usually talk about making a separate object... such as a trash
can... and putting it in a "higher layer" on the background, then
putting your randomly generated target-person-image behind it...
and then turn that image into a movie clip that slowly moves up
the stage to reveal itself.
I really don't want to throw other objects into the picture. I
thought perhaps there would be some way to create the target
movie clip so that it slowly reveals itself onto the stage ??
I originally hit upon this idea when I stumbled onto a game that's in the "Full source" subcategory in the game section. (However, the download does NOT seem to have ANY source code in it, from what I can tell.) It's the "chaingun" game:
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games...1175/index.php
I tried posting on that developer's blog well over a week ago, asking for the full source. I haven't heard anything back yet.
Thanks!

Shooter
Hi! I have another question. I want to make a shooter game, actually, a very simple one. I want to be able to click on the enemies (while thy just tstand there) and kill them, but I want to know how to make it so that if you don't shoot them fast enough they will shoot you and you will loose life. The problem for me, since I am sort of a beginner and I Don't know anything about actionscript, I don't know how to make the enemies movie clips so that they can be killed by being clicked on. Anyways, if anybody understands what i mean and can help me I thank you in advance!

Help Me Out Plz - Shooter
ok i may just as well be the biggest flash noob in the entire planet, and i'm trying to make a basic shooter.
I got up right to the point when i tried to animate the game to fire when i press the mouse button.
I put this script on the crosshair movie clip:
onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
_root."pointer".gotoAndPlay(2);
}
onClipEvent(mouseUp) {
_root."pointer".gotoAndStop(1);
}
It didn't work. Can someone help me fix it to make it 'fire' when i press the mouse button?
By The Way: This is timeline for my crosshair movie clip. Just in case i did it wrong, someone tell me plz.
Frame 1.......Frame 2....Frame 3
Neutral State.Fires......Action - gotoAndStop(1)
Hw Shooter(so Far)
I have been for a small while been working on a game called homework shooter... it is attached to this post... that is what I have so far and it works very reliably. I am trying to make it have different sounds and different "exploded"-type messages. I am using the math.random() function to achieve this...I know this may be a noobish question but is there a way to get this code:
Code:
_root.sight.gotoAndPlay(numb);
refering to a movie clip, to reconsider this code:
Code:
num=math.round(math.random()*5);
if(num=0){
numb=2
}
if(num=1){
numb=5
}
if(num=2){
numb=11
}
if(num=3){
numb=14
}
if(num=4){
numb=17
}
if(num=5){
numb=8
}
constantly so that each time you click it comes up with a new message thing...?
ok... thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out with this...

Well I have made a first person shooter before, just it wasn't very complicated. This time, i'm making one where it shows the hand holding the gun. The problem is, I want the hand and the gun to stay in the same spot at ALL times, but when you move the crosshairs left or right, the hand and the gun will be shown at a side view.
If you understand what i'm talking about, then please tell me what I have to do to accomplish this.

First Person Shooter
im making a first person shooter where enemys move the from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen, when they collide with a movie clip on the right side of the screen it's game over. the enemy is a short movie clip animation with an invisible button over it when pressed plays the death animation, the problem is when the enemy has been shot and the death ani is playing, it still moves across the screen and collides with the movie clip, so i need the enemys speed to be 0 when the death ani starts, can anyone help thanx!
Spinning Shooter
Alright, I have a small spinning shooter game where you use the arrows to rotate the 'gun' and it shoots out blocks. The blocks are supposed to fly off in one direction, fade away slowly, and be removed when they are done fading out. However, some of the blocks will suddenly stop in one place without moving or fading, and will suddenly dissappear when the next block 'shoots.'
On the first frame:
Code:
function setVar() {
dir = 1;
score = 0;
speed = 6;
dotAmount = 0;
totalTimeLeft = 96/4;
timeLeft = totalTimeLeft;
}
On a blank movie clip called 'actions'
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//
// MOVE MRDOT
//
_root.timeLeftText = _root.timeLeft+1;
_root.timeLeft--;
if (_root.timeLeft<=0) {
_root.dotAmount++;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.mrdot, "mrdot" + _root.dotAmount, _root.dotAmount);
_root["mrdot"+_root.dotAmount]._x = _root.origin._x;
_root["mrdot"+_root.dotAmount]._y = _root.origin._y;
_root.timeLeft = _root.TotalTimeLeft;
_root["mrdot"+_root.dotAmount]._rotation = _root.arrow._rotation;
}
//
// CHECK THE ARROW KEYS
//
if (Key.isDown(39)) {
// Right Arrow 39
_root.arrow._rotation += 5;
} else if (Key.isDown(37)) {
// Left Arrow 37
_root.arrow._rotation -= 5;
}
//
// MOVE IT
//
for (i=0; i <= _root.dotAmount; i++) {
if(_root["mrdot"+i]._alpha <= 0){
_root.dotAmount--;
removeMovieClip(_root["mrdot"+i]);
}
_root["mrdot"+i]._x += -_root.speed*(Math.sin(_root["mrdot"+i]._rotation*(Math.PI/180)));
_root["mrdot"+i]._y += _root.speed*(Math.cos(_root["mrdot"+i]._rotation*(Math.PI/180)));
//
// HIT TEST FOOD
//
if (_root["mrdot"+i].hitTest(_root.food)) {
_root.mrdot._xscale += 10;
_root.mrdot._yscale += 10;
_root.score += 10;
_root.food._x = Math.random()*550;
_root.food._y = Math.random()*400;
}
_root["mrdot"+i]._alpha -= 0.8;
}
}
Does anybody know why the blocks suddenly freeze?
I've attached the FLA also.
1st Person Shooter ?

Simple Shooter Help
I'm making a simple shooter in flash. The largest problem I'm having is how to do the programming, I've searched the site some and havn't found a clear answer so I figured I'd ask.
The game will have the user trying to hit ten targets as fast as possible. A timer will start from zero and will stop when the last target is hit. What I have come up with so far is that I should have a variable, x, equal ten at the begging then evey time the target is hit it subtracts 1 from x and ends when x equals 0. I will also have targets at the bottom of the screen near the timer to represent how many targets the user has left to hit. So the number of targets would be equal to x.
Thats the idea of the game in a nutshell. My problem is that I'm not very proficient with action script yet. Any advice or direction to something that would help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Help With A Game Shooter
I am wanting to make a Halo game in Flash. However it isn't a first person shooter (I've never enjoyed Flash FPS's becaues you can't walk where you want to, normally). It's like the games Stickman Sam, in that it is a sidescroller, and your mouse is a crosshairs, and wherever you click, your guy shoots. So I need a way that whenever you click the mouse, a line will come from the main character to where the mouse clicked at. how do I do it?
Help With Space Shooter
Im trying to make a space shooting game, kind of like Space Invaders but more of a 1941(nes) style. Any way, I cant get the lasers to fire right. I want the users ship to fire a laser every time they push space bar so I used code like this.
Code:
if (Key.isDown (Key.SPACE)){
laser._x = ship._x;
laser._y = car._y;
}
laser.onEnterFrame = function(){
laser._y -=15;
}
The first part puts the laser where the ship is and the second part moves it up, just like I want.
The problem is I want the player to fire more then one laser but if you push spacer bar over and over it just resets. I can I create a new laser for each key press instead of restarting.
Any help would be nice

Sidescrolling Shooter Help...
Hi! Im making a sidescrollin game and Im using Flash 8. I used the cartoonsmart tutorials and customized the actionscript to create my own game. My problem is such: I can shoot watermelon seeds put of my watermelon, but the way I do it eventually makes my game lag, and I want to put hittests on my blocks to land on fir my bullets, but the only way to do such is use the same method that I am using to shoot which makes it LAG! If anyone can solve my problem, feel free to respond and I will boot up me actionscript or the game in its current awesomeness.

I'm making a pretty standard first person shooter game. I currently have the following code for the generation of monsters and it works great.

var monsterTimer:Timer;

Help Shooter Games....
I was just looking at the the tutorial in the tutorial section on how to make a shooter. That's easy enough...The thing I want to know is how would you make it so that when you shoot a bullet and it hits a target, that target explodes, and if one of the targets where to hit you(the mc shooting the bullets) what would you need to do to make the movie go to a game over frame. I know it involves hittest, but that's about it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[AS3] Shooter Game Help
I am building a simple shooter game with a character at the top of the screen that can move left to right. At the bottom will be 3 guns spaced out evenly that will shoot out objects and different intervals. If the object hits the character or hits the end point the balls are destroyed.
I have a working version but man when all three guns are shooting my system slows down a bit. I am destroying all my object but have a feeling it has something to do with my class. I built a class called SportsItemGenerator. This class has a timer that will create a ball and add to the display list at different intervals. For anyone who has created a shooting game like the above, can you offer any advice on how to properly create my shooter balls without bogging down the system.
Here is my code, I am still prototyping so it is pretty dirty and crappy.
Code:
package dsg.elements {
import dsg.utils.StageUtils;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
public class SportsItemGenerator {
private var __container:Sprite;
private var __x:Number;
private var __y:Number;
private var __delay:Number;
private var __sportsItem:SportsItem;
private var __timer:Timer;
public function SportsItemGenerator(container:Sprite, _x:Number, _y:Number, delay:Number) {
__container = container;
__x = _x;
__y = _y;
__delay = isNaN(delay) ? 1000 : delay;
createTimer();
}
public function start():void {
initializeCurrentTimer()
}
private function createTimer():void {
__timer = new Timer(__delay, 1);
}
private function initializeCurrentTimer():void {
initializeTimer();
__timer.start();
}
private function initializeTimer():void {
__timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
__timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerCompleteHandler);
}
private function timerCompleteHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
createSportsItem();
desinitializeTimer();
initializeCurrentTimer();
}
private function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
//createSportsItem();
}
private function desinitializeTimer():void {
__timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
__timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerCompleteHandler);
__timer.reset();
}
private function createSportsItem():void {
__sportsItem = new SportsItem(__container);
__sportsItem.x = __x;
__sportsItem.y = __y;
__sportsItem.setItemType("Ball");
__container.addChild(__sportsItem);

Help W/ Scripting In 1st Person Shooter
me and my friend are making a second game in our series for a 1st person shooter, in the last game for the guns we had 3 versions of ever gun, one facing left, one facing right, and one facing the middle, now we want to change this and make the gun actualy move across the bottom of the screen, and the placement of the gun will depend on where your mouse is on the screen, so lets say the gun is on the bottom of the screen, and when you move your mouse left, it moves as if the barrel was pointing directly at the crosshair, and lets say you move your mouse up, so what happens is your gun re adjusts so the gun will have to move to the right, so what im looking for is a formula of some sort where when the gun will place itself according to where the crosshairs are, now is there any one that has a idea of what my coding should be, if your confused for what im asking for is the coding for where you move the mouse, the gun will point right at it
ive seen simular coding such as in flash golf games, where where ver you point the mouse, the ball will go in that direction, and the club will hit it acording to where you need it
Some Problems With That Space Shooter
hi all,
i`ve programmed and attached an old style space shooter and some things won`t work.
1. there is a small gap between MCbg01 and MCbg02 in the animated background.
2.at hitTest with the asteroid the spaceship shouldn`t be destroyed by the first few hits, but should lose only 10% of its life energy.
3.if one shoot an asteroid by hitting the spacebar and rest on the same y-position, the asteroid appears again and collide with the space ship.
ne1 ne ideas? thank you very much!
u777
p.s. use the arrow pads to control the spaceship`s position.
Sideways Shooter Game, Need A Little Help Plz
Im making this game as the obligatory "learn AS" thing, think thunderforce 3 or R-Type...anyway its going ok so far... well im gradually learning.
but one of my problems is this:
when you shoot, reguardless of where you are the first in an array of 5 enemieMCs is removed... but this is after i had it working fine and the only changes i made was code in the bulletMC....?
so heres the "before" code (the stuff i changed is in bold... if you can see it!
code: onClipEvent (load) {
if (_name == "shotparent") {
_visible = false;
_root.array = new Array();
_root.arraySize = 0;
ticks = 0;
i = 0;
} else {
this._y=_root.ship._y+12;
this._x=_root.ship._x+50;
speed = 10;
move = 1;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_name == "shotparent") {
ticks++;
if (ticks> 8) {
if (Key.isDown(32)) {
this.duplicateMovieClip("shot"+i, i+10);
}
_parent["shot"+i].name = i;
_root.array[_root.arraysize] = i;
_root.arraysize++;
i++;
ticks = 0;
}
} else {
if (move == 1) {
_x += speed;
if(_x> 550){
move = 0;
}
} else {
for(i = 0;i <_root.arraysize;i++){
if(_root.array[i] == name){
//trace(_root.array);
for(j = i;j <_root.arraysize-1;j++){
_root.array[j] = _root.array[j+1];
}
delete _root.array[_root.arraysize];
_root.arraysize--;
i = _root.arraysize;
}
removeMovieClip ("");
}
}
}
}
and this is the updated one which i changed to tidy it up a bit and to add a delay to the stream of bullets fired... meaning it shot in bursts:
code: onClipEvent (load) {
if (_name == "shotparent") {
_visible = false;
_root.array = new Array();
_root.arraySize = 0;
tocks = 0;
ticks = 3;
i = 0;
} else {
this._y=_root.ship._y+12;
this._x=_root.ship._x+50;
speed = 40;

2 First Person Shooter Questions
Two questions really.
(1) Is thier a way of detecting when the right button is clicked on the mouse without displaying the flash menu?
(2) I dont know if this can be done but is thier a way of making a gun continually fire using only the left button on the mouse, like in a first person shooter such as halo using a machine gun??
Thanx if u can help
PS i know this shud be in the games section but i posted it before I realised which room i was in, please dont blast me
Help With Building A Very Simple Shooter
Hello all. I'm very new to flash. I use Koolmoves 5.0.5 and was wondering if it is possible to create a very simple shooter game. All I want to do is have 3 or 4 characters pop up in the background and then I can shoot them. I don't even want them to shoot back.
I'm just wondering if this is even possible in Koolmoves, or do I need to buy a much more expensive program. Thanks for any help.
Shooter Game Actionscript Help
Hi. I have a Sniper style shooting game on Flash 8 and i have a problem. it has a crosshair and the aim of the game is to shoot the guy. one prob is tho that when it reloads you can still shoot the guy. i believe that i need to add a "wait" script in it somewher but i dont know where. here is the actionscript for the crosshair
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
startDrag(this, true);
Mouse.hide();
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (_root.bullet == true) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.bullet = false;
tellTarget (_parent.bulet) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
}
where whould i add it.
if you would like the fla file to see what i need to do i would be happy to send it to you.
Thanks

Help: Stickman Sam Type Shooter
I am making a game that is similar in gameplay to Stickman Sam, but I am having a few problems with it. The main problem is that I don't know much about Actionscript at all. Are there any online guides or anything like that which could help me out with this sort of game?
[MX04] Platform Shooter
I'm making a side-view platform shooter, but the only thing i need is the shooting part, i don't know the script to make the character shoot left and right. (and possibly a melee attack with a combat knife)?
**Need Quick Help With Basic Shooter**
Hi, I have been trying to make my first shooter for quite some time now with some success. For some reason my enemies do not respond when shot and I don't know why. I am not very good with actionscript and was wondering if someone could give me the code neccessary for an enemy. The more detailed and the more explained the better.
Also I want to be able to have multiple enemies on the stage at once and wasn't able to before. I would attach my flash file, but it says it cannot upload (probably because it is too large). Also this is in Flash MX 2004.
Thx in advance
Over The Shoulder Type Shooter
I can't find any tutorials on this. I just can't figure out how to make the background scroll over when u move the crosshair left or right.
Also, I would like to keep the gun in the lower right hand side. Like, when u move the mouse the gun will follow it a bit, but then stop so just the tip follows....not sure how to got about that.
Any help is appreciated.
How Do I Add A Energy Bar To My Shooter Game
I am very new to AS3..
I am creating a kids game in AS3. There is a smile meter that goes up when you click on a good character and down when you click on a bad character. If you reach the top you win and if you reach the bottom you you lose.
What is the best way to achieve this? Attached is my Stage source code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
