Running help.

**Minchken** · 02-01-2012, 12:50 AM

How do you make your character have a different animation when you hold shift? on what I currently have its okay... but when I hold shift it looks like he just walks faster, I want a running animation, can you give me a small tut on how you get your character to have a running animation instead of him just walking faster when I press shift?

BTW this is my action script

onClipEvent (load) {
var speed:Number = 0;
var walk:Number = 6;
var run:Number = 11;
var grav:Number = 0;
var falling:Number = 0;
var jumped:Boolean = false;
var jumpHeight:Number = 21;
var touchingGround:Boolean = false;
var scale:Number = _xscale;
var doorOpened:Boolean = false;
var attacked:Boolean = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!touchingGround) {
grav++;
this._y += grav;
} else {
grav = 0;
}
if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
touchingGround = true;
} else {
touchingGround = false;
}
if (!attacked) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= speed;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
_xscale = -scale;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += speed;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
_xscale = +scale;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT)) {
speed = run;
} else {
speed = walk;
}
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!attacked) {
if (jumped) {
falling += 0.5;
_y += falling;
if (touchingGround) {
jumped = false;
}
} else {
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
jumped = true;
falling = -jumpHeight;
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
}
if ((Key.isDown(Key.UP)) and (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))) {
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
if ((Key.isDown(Key.UP)) and (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))) {
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
if ((!Key.isDown(Key.UP)) and (!touchingGround)) {
this.gotoAndStop(3);
} else if ((Key.isDown(Key.UP)) and (!touchingGround)) {
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
if ((_currentframe == 3) and (touchingGround)) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
if (!attacked) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if ((this.hitTest(_root.door)) and (!doorOpened)) {
this._x -= speed;
}
if ((this.hitTest(_root.door)) and (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) and (_root.keys>=1)) {
_root.door.gotoAndStop(2);
doorOpened = true;
_root.keys -= 1;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.wall)) {
this._x -= speed;
}
if (this.hitTest(_root.key)) {
_root.keys += 1;
unloadMovie(_root.key);
}
if (_root.keys<0) {
_root.keys = 0;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(65)){
attacked = true;
this.gotoAndStop(4);
if(this.hitTest(_root.enemy)) {
_root.enemy.unloadMovie();
}
}
}

oh btw, I am using flash 8

**whispers** · 02-01-2012, 10:40 AM

is that NOT your code above?

doesnt it change the 'look' of the clip/character right now? (depending on the action?)

Okay, listen I just want it when I hold shift for my Character to do a running animation, so help. and Yes that is the script I am using.

**whispers** · 02-02-2012, 02:21 AM

you didnt answer the question(s) unfortunately..

if this IS your code.. then I can easily (or you should know) where to modify..

and if it does change 'states' to something depending on the action tells me I am reading the code right or wrong.

Yes it is my code.
Now show me where to modify

**Nig 13** · 02-02-2012, 07:03 AM

...Character to do a running animation, so help

Now show me where to modify

just give me step by step instructions please

are you forcing him to help you? You know, there are nicer ways to ask for help people, otherwise with your attitude, they'll just get pissed off and lose the desire to help you at all

and when people help you and you only ask for step-by-step instructions, you're not going to learn anything from that. Read tutorials on the internet, there are tons, and if you don't understand something, kindly post your question here. No one just wants to give you codes if you're not interested in learning by yourself at all!

Be glad I actually took the courtesy of fixing this, 'cause somehow, I felt a bit bad for you:

Actionscript Code:

onClipEvent (load) {

        grav++;
        this._y += grav;

Frame 5 is for the running animation, just add another frame inside your movieclip on Frame 5 with the running and hopefully it should work

Nig maybe you can help me With sound when I pickup money in my platformer?

I got the scoring and everything good, I just want a sound to play when I pick up my money in flash.

Please help?

**Nig 13** · 02-07-2012, 08:02 AM

What's the code for picking up money? If it's something like this:

Actionscript Code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
     if(this.hitTest(_root.player)){
          unloadMovie(this);
     }
}

then import your sound file into Flash, in the Library, find it there (CTRL+L), right-click it, press Properties, show Advanced, in the Identifier field, type in, coinSound, and press OK. Use this code after, unloadMovie(this); :

Actionscript Code:

sound = new Sound();
sound.attachSound("coinSound");
sound.start(0, 1);

making the whole code look something like this:

Actionscript Code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
     if(this.hitTest(_root.player)){
          unloadMovie(this);
          sound = new Sound();
          sound.attachSound("coinSound");
          sound.start(0, 1);
     }
}
