Smart HitTest [HELP!!]

I made a car game now i wish i could actually lock the car into the track. Any actionscripts to do this?

Hey Tongxn,

Here's some of the code I used for my car game , see if it suits your needs:

code:

---

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

	// make the car go forward

	if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {

		speed += 1;

	}

	// make the car go backwards

	if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {

		speed -= 1;

	}

	// tells the car to slow down after the speed of 20

	if (Math.abs(speed)>20) {

		speed *= .7;

	}

	// you can change the rotation of the car to your desire

	if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {

		_rotation -= 7;

	}

	if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {

		_rotation += 7;

	}

	// here is where the hittest is for the boundary

	speed *= .90;

	x = Math.sin(+_rotation*(Math.PI/180))*speed;

	y = Math.cos(+_rotation*(Math.PI/180))*speed*-1;

	if (!_root.boundary.hitTest(_x+x, _y+y, true)) {

		_x += x;

		_y += y;

		wall = true;

	} else {

		speed *= -.6;

              }

}

---

That should be it. Make a track with walls, and after selecting the walls (which will be the boundaries) , convert it into a movieclip.

Give that movieclip an instance name of boundary and run it. Hopefully its what you want.

Good luck with your game :)

ps , we have to hurry and finish your Flashkit Chess game, everyone else seems to be almost done :p

Great .. I know but I got school.... sorry...
