collide codes

[Semikiller]

Hi,

I've seen tutorials about collision codes and it seems so confusing what does collision codes do and what's in it for it to work?

They are for many different things. Like if you are making a game you can use the collision code to detect if someone shot you or you crashed into something. Stuff like that.

hitTest can be very simple, it is a way of checking if two movie clips have come in contact with each other, ie collided. it's great for arcade games when you need ships to be destroyed when hit by a laser. ther is also another way of checking if two movieclips are in contact with each other - _droptarget

hitTest can be fairly simple to use, there are some good tutorials on flashkit, download the files provided and pull em apart. you'll work it out
