Check out My Game!

Here is a game I've been working
AfterBurn
I fixed one problem problem but another is that the enemy cars dont have the right angle to them, I know there was a guy on these forums who made it so you can have pre-rendred stuff adjust to the right angle. Help would be apprecieated.

someone please reply, this is the only place that can help me!

No idea.

thanks for At least replying, come I know there are people here that can help me.

mmm... I don't know. I wanted to look at the source code of that enginge but my flash is mx, not 2004 so I couldn't. But at a first look, as I don't know the coding I think you could make a do while loop or a for loop in the frame where the menu is, saying for example

Code:

---

i = 0;
while (i<_root.totalPieces) {
_root["pieceOfFloor"+i].removeMovieClip("");
i ++;
}

---

Another thing I could recommend if by any way you couldn't find the mistake is to make all the last frame a movieClip, for example, all the text and mc's you have ther put them into only one movie clip and call it for example "menu" and you could swap it's depth to go over any other mc's. For example:

Code:

---

_root.menu.swapDepths(1000000000000000);

---

Those are only some suggestions, maybe you could post the .fla file to see what's going on there.

Wish that helps.

P.S. By the way. Really nice game, your gfx are cool and I like the game's monocromatic (don't know if that word exists) style. And another thing, what song did you use for the game, it rocks!

nice game first! And thank you for giving a good flash tutorial site!

But...I am REALLY sorry, I have no idea to solve your problem@@

Thanks, I figured it out earlier today. I didnt see that it was a loop to made the strips of the ground. the swapDepths cause other problems (I was using that earlier). Anyway, I got everything to work, except the car angles, Here is the game

Ok, sorry it didn't help. And what song did you use for the game?

nah man, your first code would have helped me cause it was a similar thing I used, you just posted it after I figured it out. The song is C'mon C'mon

ok, I'll try to be faster next time. Thanks :) .

hve a look at this thread;

the .fla in question is;

i suggest you read the whole thread for ideas

Thanks, but I dont understand what some of his variables are. I think you were the one that made that racing engine right? with elvis? Well can you post the formula for the car angle? I can get still objects to look 3d, but I cant with moving objects.

just multiply your angle by the "pai" formula in the example. i would advise you just drop you graphics into the example. the cubes in the example are pre-rendered and will adjust the angle of view based on the player.
the elvis version positioning system was in accurate.
the example also has hit testing
make sure you scale the map in the top right hand corner to 100%

damn, if I do that then I'll have to re code alot of the other stuff. I'll probably spend more time looking at that demo for an answer.

God damn it! Alright, thats it. I give up.
I keep trying to see how he gets his to work, I'm trying to see what his formula is so I can put it into my code! BUT he has so many variables that stand for certain movie clips and other things that I cant figure out whats what. Can someone Comvert the code from that engine to the variables and stuff of the mode7 engine I'm using? Or like I asked before, What is the formula?
it has to be something like this
a = 360/#framesinobj
b = (???rotation/a????????) <--------------thats where I need help

in my code it is;

Code:

---

        var c = 360/(t._totalframes+1);
        var f =  int(set360(a - p.x/(pai*p.y*20))/c);

---

where pai is;

Code:

---

pai = Math.tan(1*Math.PI/180);

---

"a" is the actual rotation of the object
"set360" converts the angle to a positive number
p.x and p.y is the position of the object relative to the camera
f is the frame number you need to goto and t is the movieclip
/////////////
if you don't use the .fla your objects will NOT position correctly, the positioning code in the elvis example is wrong.

Love the music in the game who is it.... ? Game play is cool too... overall great game...

I got the code to actually angle the car. But It wont do it right like you said...I wonder, what order are my prerendered shots suppose to go in? Cause the way I have it is from the back spinning all the way around to the back. Though I really have to keep the filesize down so I only used 14 frames.

Freakwncy02:
That was the von bondies "C'mon C'mon". I changed the song though.

can you post your code for the rotation?

sure

Code:

---

  px = _root["bot"+i]._x;
                                py = _root["bot"+i]._y;
                                a = _root.mapaTruco["bot"+i]._rotation;
                                c = 360/14;
                                f = int(_root.anguloCharObj(a-px/(pai*py*20))/c);
                                _root["bot"+i].car.gotoAndStop(f);
