two bugs i've found....
1) the way you action scripted it (with it checking for the ytransparent pixles and what not) makes it so when your in a dead end of a tunnel, and you go up the wall, it teleports you to the NEXT lowest ground.... soo is there a way to like, make it hang on ceilings... or fall down or what....
2) when you dig all the way to the bottom, and when your gun is not vibible, if you shoot, an error comes up sying something about a script error, and cause IE or whatever browser your using to close....
other then that, its very awsome and hope to see a "rad" game come out using this engine

Really nice, SAT based hittest or personnal bezier collision detection ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SAT? Its a pixel based hit detection since bezier wouldnt work once the original ground is broken with a bomb.

I've just tested, it's so wonderful XD I've never thought about the bitmapData hitTest method

I wouldn't mind talking to you about how you've made this stuff if you've ever got the time.

Yea, i would be glad to if im not busy...just give me an IM. Thanks for all ur interest and comments!

absolutely my pleasure. people like you are hard to come by. you've got an amazing talent as long as you're writing most of this stuff yourself, and you're a pretty friendly guy. most coders I meet who really have talent are complete douchebags.
I wouldn't be too opposed to working on a project together if you think of something that needs an artist/programmer/musician's touch. just throwing that out there.
take it easy man.

Thanks dude and of course i write my stuff. And i would love to work on something together once i think of an idea when i get time. Thanks for the compliments and i will keep u in mind if i need an artist/programmer/musician..by the way...what languages do u know?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
just actionscript. I've always kind of been split down the middle between art and science so programming appeals to me, but so does drawing and design.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah see..i wish i could design and draw..but i odnt have the patience for it...but i do for programmming..funnny.

Hey cool man, how do you make your tank stick to the terrain if you cant bebothered explaining it fully just a theory and a few action script functions would help
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its actually quite simple. There is a function that starts at the bottom checking that the color of the pixel is not transparent. And if it isnt transparent it checks the one above it until it finds a transparent one which means the top of the ground. As for where it checks it 3 places. 1 is the x value of the tank movie clip for its height then 2 points at the sides of the tank and then finds the slope and rotates the tank to fit. The method isnt perfected and there is a little more to it because it encounters problems if i have the laser weapon which makes a line of transparent pixels. That makes a glitch and i have a few fixed but not perfected yet. Hopefully it will be and im sure there is a better way to do this. If you have any ideas...let me know. Hopefully that helps.
Thanks for the comment.

Hmmm well you see, i suppose you are using gravity that pulls down only if hittest(i presume thats what your using ?) returns a false, when i do this in a few games i have the problem of it sinking through the ground slightly sometimes, how have you avoided this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Are you talking about the cannonball?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No i mean, in my own platform games, your tank doesnt seem to fall through the ground

Haha, im sorry...im kinda lost in what you are asking....if you want send me an IM..it says my SN on my main user page.

Hmm, nah i think your doing it a different way, which doesnt really help me.

Nice engine! I cant wait for the game. I did spot a few glitches though...
Maybe you should have it where you can move your turret up and down while moving.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah i noticed that along with a few problems with positioning the tank.
This is just a rough beginning but it will slowly be refined to a good, working engine.
Thanks for the comment!
