Sir isaac's theory bugs meh!

HEY GUYS! what's up?

i've been doing some here and there with gravity
and this is the thing that bugs me...

i cant get the guy to land PERFECTLY on a platform

yes it lands and stops but it changes position
(like it lands on top of the platform, then in the middle)

how to fix this?

ahm, here's the script i used:

code:

---

if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && !jumping) {

		vel_y = 40;

		jumping = true;

	}

	if (jumping == true) {

		vel_y -= 6;

		if (vel_y <=-40) {

			vel_y = -40;

		}

		this._y -= vel_y;

	}

if (this.hitTest(_root.ground)) {

		vel_y = 0;

		jumping = false;

	}

	if (this.hitTest(_root.ground) && !jumping) {

		fall += 1;

		if (fall>40) {

			fall = 40;

		}

		this._y += fall;

	}

---

the ground there is the instance name of my platform

yeah, can anyone help me out with this,

THNX a BUNCH!:D

This is probably a silly question but have you checked the registration points of your mc's?

erhm, pardon me for my poor flash language

but, Movie clip entry points?

whats that?:confused:

double click the mc that you want to edit. and then move the mc so that the crosshair is at the point where you want to calculate your positions from. typically this would be the top of the platform mc and the bottom of the "player"'s feet. on this file there are 2 mc's on the stage.

symbol 1 - reg point on bottom.
symbol 2 - reg point on top.

I just tried it on my file

and yeah, i see what you mean

though just to get things off my chest,

i have this file(credited from another person, its not mine!)

and its like my basis for gravity

but the problem is that it sometimes sticks to the upper platforms
and it doesnt land ON them

can it be fixed?

anyhoo, thnx a bunch!

hi, just had a quick look and i'm sure somthing can be done, i'll have a look sometime in the next day or so, sorry, but i've got lots on. I presume your problem is that the hero mc doesn't sit neatly on top of the platforms.

ah no rush, hehe

anyway, yeah, thats my problem...

anyway thnx for the help!

here it is

ooh sorry wrong file thats someone else's.

z x move
space jump
