[MX04] [Help]Spaceship Game Coding

[~ZOMG~]

1.
but shouldnt i put: lifeboss -= 3 into the weapon's MC?
cuz it was gonna turn out like this:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.BOSS1)) {
		_root.BOSS1.Play();
		lifeboss -= 3 
	}
}

2.
I just decided to have the life as a MC, where if an enemy hits you the life would play(); and if you were to get an extra life, it would go prevFrame(); meaning you'd only have a max of 10 lives.

3. (new problem)
i decided to add a store in the game after the boss...
ur score in the game is the currency in the shop, but then if you bought something too expensive for you (meaning u dont have enough score) your score would go negative, is there anyway to fix that?

4. (yet another XD)
in the shops (as told above) you can buy bombs and new weapons, how would i make it that u can use the weapon/bomb only if you've bought it?
(im okay with the quantity that when u use a bomb, if it touches the player (which it will always do) the bomb would play(); )

1. yep you got that right - pfeeew!

2. ok

3. well you can't buy something if you don't have the money can you?

so you just need to check

if value_of_cool_gun is equal or smaller to Total_amount_of_currency - if not then just sent a message "go get a job, space dude"

4. when you buy a bomb you set a variable on, let's say Got_bomb = 1

then when the player press the key for the bomb you just check if Got_bomb == 1

All the questions here are of pure logic and don't depend on Flash features.

sorry if this is bumping the thread but i havent went on very much but anyways, my new errors...

1.
okay.. i put lifeboss1 -= 3 into the weapon's MC
i also put: set(lifeboss1, 200); into the beggining of the boss's first frame of the MC
and i put: if (lifeboss1 == 0) {gotoAndStop (1222)} frames where the boss is in the screen.
so far it doesnt work
NOTE: -frame 1222 is the shop.
-lifeboss1 is the variable for BOSS1's health

2.
for the life i put:

set(life, 10);
if (life == 0) {
	gotoAndStop("2", 1);
}

into the the player's LIFE frames.

and i put:

_root.dead = Number(_root.dead)+1;
_root.score = 0;
_root.HEALTH.Play();
life -= 1

into the player's MC

same as the last, didnt work...
NOTE:
-life is the variable for the player's health
-HEALTH is the MC that keeps track of your lives/life nad will go down everytime your hit and up everytime you get lives

3.
could you add code to that?(the exact)
NOTE:
-"The-Gun" is called, beam
-and i use _root.score to calculate the score

4.

if (beam1 == 1) {onClipEvent (load) {
	beamMoveSpeed = 25;
	this._x = _root.player._x+30;
	this._y = _root.player._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	this._x += beamMoveSpeed;
	if (this._x>600) {
		this.removeMovieClip();
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.ENEMY1)) {
		_root.ENEMY1.Play();
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.ENEMY2)) {
		_root.ENEMY2.Play();
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.ENEMY3)) {
		_root.ENEMY3.Play();
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.ENEMY4)) {
		_root.ENEMY4.Play();
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.ENEMY5)) {
		_root.ENEMY5.Play();
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.BOSS1)) {
		_root.BOSS1.Play(); Play(); Play();
		lifeboss1 -= 3
	}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (this.hitTest(_root.BOSS1)) {
		_root.BOSSHEALTH1.Play(); Play(); Play();
	}
}
}

ERROR: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
i put: if (beam1 == 1) {...}
there because, the variable: beam1 is set to 0, so when you actually buy the weapon, beam1 will add 1. causing the statement true.

but because of the error, it wont work...
NOTE: -beam1 refers to the weapon's MC's variable (hope i said that right )
P.S. i added the NOTES to help understand the questions.
