Um that was a typo. I didn't actually write that in the fla. but, I figured out the problem. There was a line of code in the timeline that I missed. I had been looking within the movieclip, but it was on the outside. it works now. Thanks for your help though!
hey im having a problem with my enemy dieing when he is hit by my "player" here is the code
onClipEvent(load){
_x = Math.round(_x/5)*5;
_y = Math.round(_y/5)*5;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
dx = _parent.player._x - _x; // distance between them
d = Math.sqrt(dx*dx+dy*dy);
// I take _width as being the distance between the two clip's centers
if(d > 20 && d < 250){
// Find angle to travel: (180/Math.PI) converts radians to degrees
_rotation = Math.atan2(dx, -dy)*(359/Math.PI);
// Travel that way
_x -= Math.sin(_rotation)*20; // 5 is speed
}
if(_x-25 > _root.player._x+15){
_x-=5;
} else {
this.gotoAndStop("attack")
}
} \\BELOW IS WHERE IM HAVING THE PROBLEM AND IT'S PROBABLY EASY TO FIX
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(hitTest(_root.windmillring)) {
gotoAndPlay ("die");
}
}
i have the "die" movieclip in the enemy and when he hits the windmillring i want it to play "die"
any help would be great
thanks
I was bored so i made this rather cool little game! :)
Remember those games with the metal thing that was looped around wire, which u had to follow?
Well, using some nice shapeflag hit test, i made it - so if your abit miffed by it all, download this .fla!
I hope this is the right place, im sure it will help someone!
I have a problem in my Shoot-down-enemy-space-ships game. if i have 10 space ships flying down the screen, and a gun which shoots bullets, how can i quikly find out if the ship has been hit. this is the code that i have used so far:
the problem is to make the if() code use the variable i. can anyonehelp me?Code:for( i; i<11; i++){
if(_root.ship.i.hitTest(this._x,this._x,true)){
gotoAndPlay("explode"):
}
}
if your ships are named "1", "2", and "3" you can do this:
not too sure how you named your ships. If they were named "ship1", "ship2", etc. do this:Code:for( i; i<11; i++){
if(_root.ship[i].hitTest(this._x,this._x,true)){
gotoAndPlay("explode"):
}
}
Code:for( i; i<11; i++){
if(_root["ship"+i].hitTest(this._x,this._x,true)){
gotoAndPlay("explode"):
}
}
Heya, quick question...
So heres the set up---
There's a movie clip as the mouse called mouse1, and inside that, there's a dynamic text box called mousehit. There is another movie clip on the screen, a painting, and I want it so that when the mouse is over the painting, the dynamic text box says "Painting"
Yeesh...
ok, the directory of the dynamic text box is:
_root.mouse1.mousehit
On the little painting, make it an MC, and insert this code:
This should work...... my syntax maybe wrongish (just edit it in advanced mode)Code:OnClipEvent(enterframe){
if(this.hittest(_root.mouse1)){
_root.mouse1.mousehit = "painting"
{
{
Good luck!
Ah haha! Thats what I was doing wrong... Thanks!
no problem, i do suggest you start a new thread so people will see it!
Good luck with what that code was for!
i've got this problem and i don't know how to fix it, my guy keeps sticking to the walls

That depends on what your code is and what you want it to be :p
Show the code you have now...
Or:
My favorite... wich I first got of Magnetos (I guess) and wich is used a lot (I guess)
onClipEvent(load){
jumping = false;
velY = 0;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
//-->
//Walking code goes here
//<--
//
//-->
//Jumping code
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
jumping = true;
velY = -8;
}
if(jumping == true){
_y += velY
velY++;
}
//<--
//
//-->
//HitTest
if(_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)){
while(_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)){
_y--;
}
jumping = false;
velY = 0;
} else {
jumping = true;
}
//<--
}
I hope this i the right code cuz I just typed without testing... but it should be working :)
Greetz,

Can someone help me I want it so that if i collide with something then after a few seconds it'll go to another frame
can someone tell me if there is anything wrong with this code?
Code:setProperty (laser, _y, getProperty(laser, _y)-5);
if (_root.mgame.mHero.Zaber.hitTest(this._x, this._y, true)) {
tellTarget (_root.mgame.mHero) {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
}
Do you think you could give us some more information?
Visually there are no errors, but then again, it depends in what context you use the AS!
I hope i can help, but i need more information :eek:
alright, alright. I figured instead of starting a new thread, i would just post here, since my problem is a hitTest problem.
I printed David Doull's tutorial here in Flashkit on making a spaceship side scroller. I went through it a few months ago, and got the game to work....for the most part. But i lost the files and decided to redo it. Here is my problem:
I have the baddies coded to hitTest for the "spaceship". If so, then the movie goes to frame 3 "gameOver".
that didn't work. So, i put the hitTest on the spaceship to test against the enemy. That didn't work.
I even tried changing the gotoAndStop from "gameOver" to frame number 3. Still, no dice. And this worked before! Maybe its a stupid mistake im overlooking? here is my code:
Code://enemy test for spaceship
if(this.hitTest(_root.spaceship)){
_root.gotoAndStop("gameOver");
}
I know this code is right. They are both under onClipEvent(enterFrame) actions. But it still doesn't work!Code://spaceship test for enemy
if(this.hitTest(_root["enemy"+i])){
_root.gotoAndStop("gameOver");
}
Furthermore, i know that all the movie clips are named properly in the code, and the frame label is not misspelled....i quadruple checked all of this!!
This maybe workes fine with balls but if you want to check irregular shaped Mc's for collision... like this two:Quote:

thx edmack that was gr8 help.
this is what I tried and got it. The important thing is that I have totally eluded the hitTest function of flash.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x = _x-_root.two._x;
y = _y-_root.two._y;
h = Math.sqrt((x*x)+(y*y));
rad = _width/2;
radTwo = _root.two._width/2;
sumRad = rad+radTwo;
if (sumRad>=h) {
trace("yes");
}
}
onClipEvent(load){
startDrag("", true);
}
two is the other movie clip on the stage.
Infact I am working on a pool game with this help I can really move ahead. I will start posting threads based on this.
thx again.

I don't want them to react when their bounding boxes collide...
http://www.supervisiondesign.com/pic...ollision02.gif
or...
http://www.supervisiondesign.com/pic...ollision03.gif
This is the collision I'm looking for:
http://www.supervisiondesign.com/pic...ollision04.gif
Is there a way?
Didn't read all messages before posting... (only read the first page. didn't see that there was more).
The other posts answered my question... that it's not possible.
um....are you sure you read right?
I thought it was possible. (this.hitTest(x,y,shapeflag))
the collision I mensioned should look like homeDrone says on page 3 in this thred...
anyMovieClip.hitTest(target, shapeFlag);
the hitTest you mension only checks one specific point.
Okay, here is my code for the hittest in my game. The problem is it checks the bounding box and not the actual image shape. So I get collisions when it does not look like I should. How would I fix this.
Oh and the link to the game (not finished) is

and http://www.sfhq.net/sfhq/game.fla
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.sovereign)) {

if (_root.shield>0) {
_root.rshield.moveMovieClip (rshield);
_root.rshield._x = this._x;
_root.rshield._y = this._y;
_root.rshield._rotation = this._rotation;
_root.shield -= 1;
}if (_root.shield<1) {
_root.life -= 1;
_root.rshield.moveMovieClip (rshield);
_root.rshield._x = _root.non._x;
_root.rshield._y = _root.non._y;
_root.rshield._rotation = _root.non._rotation;
}
