Gaming Problem - Boncy walls

[tongxn]

i am trying to create a basic driving game, but i got this problem with it's movements: The car just DRIVE OUT OF THE SCREEN!Dose anyone know how to make a MC that stops the car moving when it reaches the end of it's frame.

[sportzguy933]

Yes. It's possible. Try the "if" action and use the y/x variables to tell Flash to stop the MC when it gets to a certain x/y location. Sorry don't have the time to write the script right now....

[tongxn]

but i really need to write the script.. anyway, just give me a tip on the main script
PLZPLZPLZPLZ

[QRS_III]

//before movement
last_x = _x
last_y = _y
//after movement
if (_x > 550) {
_x = last_x
}
if (_y > 400) {
_y = last_y
}
if (_x < 0) {
_x = last_x
}
if (_y < 0) {
_y = last_y
}

[tongxn]

Maybe i should change that...
//before movement
last_x = _x
last_y = _y
//after movement
if (_x > 800) {
_x = last_x
}
if (_y > 600) {
_y = last_y
}
if (_x < 0) {
_x = last_x
}
if (_y < 0) {
_y = last_y
}

Is this right?

[tongxn]

Em..where should i put the actionscript on? the car, the frame, or the background?

[tongxn]

nope, that don't help, any other ideas about Hittest or something eles?

[tongxn]

Ohh.. any other ideas???!

[Dragonusthei]

the script is right

you attach it to the main timeline

urm hitTest you could just to find if the car over laps something then use some kind of stop action but i would really suggest the script you were already given.

[ZippyDee]

u can use hittest and have the action be that it moves in the opposite direction from the wall or whatever the same # as what the movement speed is...if u understood that

:]

[tongxn]

no

[tongxn]

sory

[3D-Flash]

will this work here as well?

I cant seem to get hitTest to keep me from walking thorugh the walls.

The walls are built out of a separeate class, where I can specify the size and # of sides (if this helps)

Let me know,
Thanks

[tongxn]

Thanks for the idea, but i seem to make a 2D car game, and i don't get the idea about the roomtst?

[tongxn]

I really thank the person who would give me the right answer though....
But it seemed no1 have the solution...

I was asking how to get the code they supplied to work in that project. hitTest doesnt seem to work, this code may, but I havnt got it to yet.... any one know?

[tongxn]

not me, and would u mind move that thread out of my Post?
Thank you.

[Dragonusthei]

You have been given the anwser over and over you just keep ignoring it

hitTest or simply make it so the cars x and y go past a certain position it goes in the reverse x/y

[tongxn]

it don't work for me i think!

[hippofungus]

hittest would work if you say:

z = movementSpeed;

if(car.hitTest(rightWall)){
     car._x -= z;
}

if(car.hitTest(leftWall)){
     car._x += z;
}

if(car.hitTest(topWall)){
     car._y += z;
}

if(car.hitTest(bottomWall)){
     car._y -= z;
} 

This is just an idea of how i use hitTest to stop things. Hope this helps...
