[F8] Code not working.

[Pinky Rose]

I have a Movie in which bullets are to be fired by the Ctrl key press. But this is not happening. Can I get help on this please!

var vel=20;
var vx;
var vy;
var rt=0;
var fr=0;
var i=0;
turret.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){	
rt++;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
rt--;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)){
fr=1;
}else{
fr=0;	
}
turret._rotation=rt;
}
if(fr==1){
ballm=_root.attachMovie("ball", "ball"+i, 100+i,{_x:300,_y:200});
i++;
}
ballm.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(fr==1) {
vx = vel*Math.cos(rt*Math.PI/180);
vy = vel*Math.sin(rt*Math.PI/180);
ballm._x+=vx;
ballm._y+=vy;
}
}
stop();

also attached the FLA (F8)

Nobody to help!

I don't know the answer. let's hope somebody cares to help you.

I am sorry nobody including the moderators care to look into my problem.
What's wrong with my code?
I have included the code as well as the FLA.
Can I conclude it's a waste of time to post a thread in these forums.

don't be so demanding/whiney.

its very hard to understand your code, as the variable names are abstract and not self explanatory like they should be, also your code formatting is horrible which makes it a mission to read through.

so yes it is a waste of your time to post a thread in these forums if your going to DEMAND others go out of their way to wade through illegible, uncommented code.

A hint for the future is to make your question concise and to the point, instead of "please help me make my game work". for example, you could cut out all the code that makes the turret move up and down, as that has nothing to do with the problem, and post a small excerpt of the code where you have found error.

[Pinky Rose]

No error is reported in the code.
The turret is rotating, but the balls are not getting attached in the root and they are not moving, when the Ctrl key is pressed.

Hi! Pinky,
Please try the modified/corrected code.

var vel=20;
var vx;
var vy;
var rt=0;
var i=0;
turret.onEnterFrame=function(){
turret._rotation=rt;
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){	
rt++;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
rt--;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)){
ballm=_root.attachMovie("ball","ball"+i,100,{_x:300,_y:200});
i++;
}
ballm.onEnterFrame=function(){
vx = vel*Math.cos(rt*Math.PI/180);
vy = vel*Math.sin(rt*Math.PI/180);
this._x+=vx;
this._y+=vy;
}
}
stop();

[Pinky Rose]

Thank you very much Tormenter!
I have used the modified/corrected code posted by you, and the movie is working perfectly OK!
