Cool tutorial, but theres a problem with mine, when I test the thing, the person falls right through the ground, is there anythin to stop that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
did you give the ground the instance name of "ground"
if it still doesnt work its probably cause this is in actionscript 1
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, it still doesnt work, and I'm using Actionscript 2 I think.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
onClipEvent (load) {
//this determines how far he has to fall
fallheight = 500;
//this makes sure he respawns where he first was
original_x_pos = _x;
original_y_pos = _y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//this checks if he is further down than he should be
if (_y>=fallheight) {
//and resets him
_x = original_x_pos;
_y = original_y_pos;
}
}

o thank you so much im doing a 12th grade project and its anything of my choice sounds easy but its kinda hard to go from always being told what to do to getting to decide so i chose to do games im writing a paper and im also learn code so i can make a flash game for my presntation your younger then me yet you know more and making money from armoured games. if i have questions can i ask you? I kinda wanted to ask you to be my mentor but i would need to be able to rely on being able to comuncate at a set time
Thank you i shal put this info in my programer notes can i ask what } those stand for i believe they enclose things but idk
I see i can replace onClipEvent(_____) with other things hmm wow i have a lot of work to do..... Do you know any sites that could help i got like 25 links but most of them just say copy this paste it here and your done but i have figured out one little coding
How did you learn?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sure i can help.
i slowly learnt flash from various internet tutorials, Ive had it for about 3 years.
by the way, i can only really help you if you use flash MX (as1), cause that's what i use.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well i use flash mx but im not sure if its expecialy action script 1??
onClipevent is for and what it chages if i put (load) instead of (enterframe)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
flash MX only uses as1
(load) makes the function happen once.
eg. if you want to set some variables or change a frame
(enterframe) makes the event happen every frame.
eg. gravity, you need the character to fall a little bit each frame
or. checking for a hittest every frame

o ok can u use c++ in MX
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
na thats a really advanced language, flash only uses actionscript(1,2,3)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I have no idea where to put things,
where do i type in stop();? and how do you make him running for only one frame?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

u probably should look up some basic flash tutorials on the net.

type in stop()
or search for it in the actionscript bar

nice tut : D
but I`ve got a few quiestions:
1) i added a new layer for the ground and set the center of the movieclip on the top . still is my char only standing in the middle of the ground. (my chara`s center is on the ground) why? D:
2) if i press left or right my char skips a few centimetres to the opposite direction before walking. again why? D:
thank you for your help C:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
make sure the center of the characters movieclip is in the middle down the bottom.
the reason the character jumps a bit is because the center is off to the side and it flips from that point.
