Exelent example,

Did you notice that if you go the next screen the yelowhead will be there also

Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if ( _root.hero.frame=="a"){ // get the currant screen 
this._visible=true;
	if (this.hitTest( _root.hero )) {
		if (event[0] eq _root.hero.event[0]) {
			_root.text.text = reply[1];
		} else {
			_root.text.text = reply[0];
		}
	}
}else { this._visible=false;}// so I will show only in one room..
}

even tho this is not pervect because the MC is still there and you will have problem walkin arround it another way of doing it is to use gotoAndStop on empty frame and thus to remove the yellowhead..

loving it ......loving it...
although i 'd like better a pop up window for the talkin
part maybe with some transparency

hey what about the ugly grass ground?
is that gonna be on all the rooms?
ummmmm and then again why ought to be grass inside the room??? well maybe the hero is a vegetarian hi hi hi !!

good work guys

I updated my example.
Added redhead (probably Ian), who has transparent popup window in the center of movie.

I also moved diamond and both NPCs inside the back mc. Diamond should be there for sure, but I don't know about NPCs. If they are in back mc, then we don't need to check them with hittest separately and we don't have to worry about them appearing in the other scenes. But maybe this causes some other problems.

look what 5 minutes of tempering can do

http://digilander.iol.it/magneto1/rpg.swf

i wasn t able to change the graphics on the second windows
though

still you have to consider the file size
is already 89kb and it has only 2 rooms no enemies and stuff

**magnetos** · 10-11-2001, 06:08 PM

i forgot

for each message you use a different window
i think you should make it in a way
that you use only one window
where you output all the text
scrolling text will be also be nice

just a tought !!!

The size of the swf worried me too, but it will not grow much, when there are more rooms, because we can use same tiles.

I actually left second text window just to look, how much better new one was

I think text window should be somehow different, when you speak to different person. Color maybe...

Please, can't you make your fla available, your graphics are so good

**Mad-Sci** · 10-11-2001, 07:36 PM

WOW that was cool..I dont thik you need me anymore guys..

**tonypa** · 10-12-2001, 05:45 AM

You are not serious, mad_sci?

It's not finished at all. It's just a beginning. We still need enemies and battles and all the interface (life metter, money, score, bonus points, invetory, how to use items from the invetory, pick things and drop things in different screens, like you promised in the beginning) plus AI. I can continue forever...

Thing we have here now is just a bit prettier, then your original

I also made light version (<10 kB swf and 40kB fla) without bitmap graphics:

Hey you guys, I have been following this awesome tut from when it started, and I have to tell you that im very grateful that someone has finally decided to make one of these. Anyway, here is my contribution...it isn't much different, but it's got somewhat refreshing graphics. I was feeling very "zelda-ish" when i put it together ^_^

for some reason my post didnt seem to appear...oh well, here it is again. blah blah blah, here is my version, obviously very similiar to all of yours. mine is probably a bit refreshing as far as graphics are concerned however, i was feeling zelda-ish...

wow, there is my other post all of a sudden...

**voicesinsidemyhead** · 10-13-2001, 01:18 AM

ok, ive got the character moving and maybe im a little slow but, I don't think so because i basically just copied a bunch of code. So, I have a problem my character moves around and stuff, but when you stop pressing the key then my character guy spins around so that hes facing south. I've checked, double checked, compared with the rest, but he just keeps doing it... also i should probably mention that its only a 4 way movement (don't know if that'll effect it) and I made the excess code that I thought was useless for me into comments.

and if that doesn't work...

Very Very nice looking game. I really like the graphics. One thing you might want to add to this little game is a more defined hitarea around the character. I noticed small little errors like I could get stuck in some of the plants and the tops of trees on the second scene. I think if you made a MC that looked like a shadow around the bottom of your character then did all of your hit tests off of that MC, it would work a little cooler. Then again that is just what I have always done with games like this that rely heavily on hittest to keep players within a boundary. This would also work really good with trees and you can put to tops of the trees on a higher level to give the feeling of depth, by only hittesting the trunk of the tree. This way the player could walk right under the tree. Just another thought, keep up the good work!

**tonypa** · 10-13-2001, 08:20 AM

to DarkSpoonz.

I like the style.
Just noticed, that your hero gets stuck into other characters and back sometime. I run into that too and made a little addition to the hittest part in the hero:

Code:

    if (_root.back.hitTest(this._x+30, this._y, true) and old_x<this._x) {
        this._x = old_x;
    }
    if (_root.back.hitTest(this._x-30, this._y, true) and old_x>this._x) {
        this._x = old_x;
    }
    if (_root.back.hitTest(this._x, this._y+30, true) and old_y<this._y) {
        this._y = old_y;
    }
    if (_root.back.hitTest(this._x, this._y-30, true) and old_y>this._y) {
        this._y = old_y;
    }

So, we check the direction and hittest only in front of hero. I am not sure, but maybe you can use this.

Also added fade transition between rooms and NPC turn to hero, when they talk.

I changed your fla a little and it walks right now.

**DarkSpoonz** · 10-13-2001, 10:00 AM

Thanks alot for the code Tonypa, but unfortunately it did not entirely fix my problem...i changed the hit test code, but my characters still seem to move onto my bushes and the top of the trees. Im certain it's still a problem with hit test...anyway, thanks again

To all who have posted so far let me say that I'm really enjoying this thread. Very informative.

I've been tinkering myself with an rpg type game but am having problems with the hero running through objects like trees, walls and houses.

I thought I had figured it out and what I have sort of works but something is wrong. When the arrow keys are pressed and held down my character walks right throught stuff. But when the keys are only tapped the hero doesn't go through objects.

I'm thinking I have something coded wrong in the movement but I'm not sure. Here's the code in my hero:

**************
onClipEvent (load) {
moveSpeed = 8;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
old_x = this._x;
old_y = this._y;
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) and this._x<585) {
gotoAndPlay (3);
this._x += moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) and this._x>15) {
gotoAndPlay (4);
this._x -= moveSpeed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) and this._y<375) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
this._y += moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) and this._y>20) {
gotoAndPlay (5);
this._y -= moveSpeed;
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
gotoAndStop (3);
if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
gotoAndStop (4);
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.UP) {
gotoAndStop (5);
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.DOWN) {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
if (_root.wall.hitTest(this._x+8, this._y, true)) {
this._x = old_x;
}
if (_root.wall.hitTest(this._x-8, this._y, true)) {
this._x = old_x;
}
if (_root.wall.hitTest(this._x, this._y+8, true)) {
this._y = old_y;
}
if (_root.wall.hitTest(this._x, this._y-8, true)) {
this._y = old_y;
}
}
**************

That final part is the section that supposed to stop the hero from going through walls. But like I said, it doesn't work all the way.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

**voicesinsidemyhead** · 10-13-2001, 04:29 PM

thank you so much Tonypa!

**tonypa** · 10-13-2001, 04:32 PM

to freaklad.

You have put your hitTest inside last onClipEvent (keyUp) event. It means, hitTest is checked only, when down key is released. You have to put it inside onClipEvent (enterFrame) event. Then it will be checked all the time.

You have also made mistake here:
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
gotoAndStop (3);
if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
}

gotoAndStop should be in the If statement.

Here, correct code:

Code:

onClipEvent (load) {
    moveSpeed = 8;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    old_x = this._x;
    old_y = this._y;
    if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) and this._x<585) {
        gotoAndPlay (3);
        this._x += moveSpeed;
    } else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) and this._x>15) {
        gotoAndPlay (4);
        this._x -= moveSpeed;
    }
    if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) and this._y<375) {
        gotoAndPlay (2);
        this._y += moveSpeed;
    } else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) and this._y>20) {
        gotoAndPlay (5);
        this._y -= moveSpeed;
    }
    if (_root.wall.hitTest(this._x+8, this._y, true)) {
        this._x = old_x;
    }
    if (_root.wall.hitTest(this._x-8, this._y, true)) {
        this._x = old_x;
    }
    if (_root.wall.hitTest(this._x, this._y+8, true)) {
        this._y = old_y;
    }
    if (_root.wall.hitTest(this._x, this._y-8, true)) {
        this._y = old_y;
    }
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
    if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
        gotoAndStop (3);
    }
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
    if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
        gotoAndStop (4);
    }
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
    if (Key.getCode() == Key.UP) {
        gotoAndStop (5);
    }
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
    if (Key.getCode() == Key.DOWN) {
        gotoAndStop (1);
    }
}
