I never realised that you could do that, only ever bothered using the quick post function. Oh well, here it is:

(tip: the rectangle is a button to make the dice roll)

It's perfect.

don't do it that way. it will just chew up cpu you could use for something more important. just pre-render it.

BlinkOk, do you have this game in AS3, or something simmilar to this in AS3? I'm searching for this type of games, not just for the dice, the whole game is perfect and will help me for my Faculty project.

Thank you.

All I did was make 6 pre-rendered movieclips (using 3DSMax and the Swift Render Plugin), each movie clip was about 50 frames long, but that could turn out to be quite big, so perhaps use a few less frames. then put these movieclips in seperate frames 2 thru 7

Then generated a random number between 2 and 7 (because frame 1 is occupied by nothing, and is used as a starting point). Everytime the random number is generated, it plays the assosciated frame number containing 1 of the dice movieclips.

I had a small problem getting the movie clips to stop playing as they just looped on and on once you clicked the button, to avoid that, just remember to go into the movieclip and on the last frame, put a stop() command.

This was all done is AS2, but now that you know the methos of how to do it, you should be able to do it all in AS3 easily enough.

It is very close to monopoly, but it's not exactly right

[MegaSofijanov]

Thank you.
It's something like Monopoly, but not the same. :S

Please help if someone knows the real name of this dice game.

Unless BlinkOk has more to say about it (seeing as it's his board), it's a fictitious game board - like I said: it's close to the monopoly game board, but there are some differences. I think it's pretty easy to see the simularity, but I don't think it's a direct copy of an existing boardgame out there

[BlinkOk]

i agree. it was a help thingy for a guy making a monopoly game.

BlinkOk, I am developing a simple board game and have looked at the zip file you uploaded and have been playing around with the code but how would you change the dimensions of the path that the "pieces" take. Basically, in you're game the pieces move around a board that 11x11 with a total of 40 squares and I am building a board that is smaller, only 6x6 with a total of 20 squares.

I am guessing that the code to change is on the pieces themselves but can't work out which bit needs changing, can you help?

Thanks.

[Lockie23]

No worries have sorted it now!

[BlinkOk]

glad you worked it out. sorry i couldn't help
