Looks ok to me - but try the old fashioned (Flash 4) way:-

setProperty("bulletHole"+name,_x ,_xmouse);
setProperty("bulletHole"+name,_y ,_ymouse);

I'll try it tommorow!

[ashoui2001]

That comes up with a synax(sp?) error!

[brutfood]

Really?

I got it working. I did it a little differently - we all have our individual styles of actionScript afterall.

Create a new, empty, movie clip.

Drag it onto the stage.

Select it, so the top of the Actions Window says something like Actions Movie Clip (you are inserting a Movie Clip action, not a frame action)

Put this in...

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
attachMovie("bulletHole", ++name, name);
setProperty (name, _x, _xmouse);
setProperty (name, _y, _ymouse)
}

Bad news: When you shoot around 8 times in the top left corner, ywhen you shoot, nothing appereas, also, imade a rocket lancher, and that leaves a hole in the middle of the scorch mark, left behind from the rockets!
S could you help me out with that one?
~~~
Misc.: How can, when you hold down the mouse button, mutiable bullets come out? I've got a sound wave and bullet/scroch marks/holes, for every weapon, but just need the code to get it all to work!
So could anyone help me out?
Thank in advance!

IMAGE OF PROBLEM

BuMp!

[brutfood]

G'day mate,

This simple problem just refuses to die doesn't it - I have days like that sometimes Sometimes months!

Only 8 bullets - well, that's 2 more than they have in the old westerns! I need to know more about how you did this. what the actionscript looks like, and whether you are re-using something like your 'name' variable.

Machine gun fire? - well, remember that empty movie symbol I asked you to create? Now put some actionscript inside it:-

Frame 1: stop()
Frame 2: attachMovie("Bullet Hole",++name,name);
setProperty(name,_x,_xmouse);
setProperty(name,_y,_ymouse)

Frame n: gotoAndPlay(2)

n is a small integer - depending on your rate of fire.

Now go back, and replace the movie clip action of this symbol by:-

onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
gotoAndPlay(2)
}

onClipEvent(mouseUp) {
stop()
}

...and you have rapid fire.

To change weapons, well your movie clip now needs an instance name. Call it 'control'. (also position it at (0,0) on the stage - just in case you need to access its (x,y) coordinates from _root - and detect if you've hit a target).

To change weopons, use statements like:-

control.weapon= "bulettHole";

where the name in quotes corresponds to the export name of a library symbol. Create one for each weapon - and make then generate their own sounds (sound in timeline). Don't forget to put a stop() in the last keyframe to stop them looping.

of course, modify the 'control' actionscript to:-

attachMovie(weapon,++name,name);

The rest, as they say, is an exercise for the reader.

(It's been many years since I wrote a game - in fact the last time I did it - I think was on my ZX81 in the far distant past)

Hey, can i send you the game over an email?
Thanks!

[brutfood]
