Help - ActionScripting

Me again,

Tried every possible combination but the right one for this. Basically, whenever the specified player called "hacker" MC object touches the MC called "laser", it should bring a new MC to the middle of the screen. This is done using the function "hack".

Here's the script for the Laser:

onClipEvent (load) {
if (this.hitTest( _root.hacker ) ){
hack();

}
}

Here's the script for the function:

onClipEvent (load) {

function hack(){
this._x=117;
this._y=68.5;
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}

}

Problem is, "hacker" can run over "laser" repeatedly without the function going on.

Anyone help?

try

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest( _root.hacker ) ){
hack();

}

:)

change onClipEvent (load) to onClipEvent(enterFrame)

load = do only once its loaded.
enterFrame = on every frame enter.

otherwise your code looks correct, if it still dotn work post I'll look more into it.

Even with enterFrame event the code will still move the Laser mc to those coordinates. If you want to bring new mc to those coordinates, then you need to add attachMovie command.

Changed, with no luck :(

Sorry, shouldve said its a different MC, like a console that appears over the top of the screen. Still, doesnt really help though... :(

put a trace("im hist"); in the first line of the function. then you can see if the function is called or not. the problem might be that you call the function hack() from the laser, and there is no function in laser called hack. instead you should call _root.console.hack(); (change console to the name of the mc with the function).

:( doesnt seem to want to call it

edited the script to put in that _root. line

doesn't seem to work either. Hmmm :/

AHA! Foolish one... forgot to put _root. before the "hacker" MC name is the hitTest()... duh... lol

Thanks guys. It's for a team strategy game.

Bank Robbery :P lol hence the hacker etc Will explain more soon.

It's I.D ;) ;)
