Shooting Game Help!!
i have a shooting game with a few problems. One, during the
reload stage of the gun, you can still shoot. Two, once the man
walks off screen it dosent go to a game over page. i have no idea
how to fix this and all my attempts fail. I cant send you the game
because the source file is to big even after cut down. ill give u
the actionscript.
The Walking Guy:
onClipEvent (load) {
speedx = 0.9;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x -= speedx;
if (this._x<=100) {
gotoAndStop("loose");
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
this.enabled = false;
speedx = 0
The man is inside a MC. i dont know how to make it so that
when he walks off the screen it goes to a Game over page.
The Crosshair:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
startDrag(this, true);
Mouse.hide();
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (_root.bullet == true) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.bullet = false;
tellTarget (_parent.bulet) {
gotoAndStop(2);
When nothing is hylighted:
_root.bullet = true;
stop();
Inside the Crosshair MC:
First Frame:
Stop();
Last Frame:
tellTarget (_parent) {
_root.bullet = true;
tellTarget (_parent.bulet) {
gotoAndStop(1);
What needs to be added to not allow the gun to work when
reloading???
How do i create a game over page when the stick has walked
off the screen??
All answers would be greatly appreaciated!!!
Thanks

Im not sure if any one will be able to help me or not but Im a relatively new programmer and i am createing a space shooter type game and I am haveing some difficulties in wording my statements. Right now the way i have it set up I am able to fire only 1 shot from my ship but the shot hitting the enemy ship part works and i know it is only from this run statement i have becuase before i was able to shoot as much as i wanted. Like i said i doubt anyone will be able to help me without seeing more of my code but i thought id try.
//createing repaint timer
public void run(){
while(true) {
try{//attempt to execute
createEnemy(); //create enemy
updateEnemy(); //update enemys
n.updateShots(); //update shots
//make the enemy explode if the shots x,y is close to the enemy x,y
for(int i=0;i<n.size;i++){ //n = ship function and size is place holder for number of shots
if(n.shots[i] != null && n.shots.y - enemy[i].y >0&&n.shots[i].y - enemy[i].y<50){ //if the shot is hit in this y area the shot and enemy will delete
n.shots[i] = null;
enemy[i] = null;
}//end of if
else{
if(n.shots[i] != null &&n.shots[i].x - enemy[i].x >0&&n.shots[i].x - enemy[i].x<50){ //if the shot is hit in this x area the shot and enemy will delete
n.shots[i] = null;
enemy[i] = null;
}//end if
}//end else
}//end of for
repaint();
n.flame = false; //set flame to false so Flame is only true if Up is pressed
Thread.sleep(100);
}//end of try
catch (InterruptedException e) {
}//end of catch
}//end of while
} //end of runWhy not use a timer here? If you are using Swing, then a Swing Timer is much better here than the ugly while(true).
Also, when posting your code, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and be readable. To do this, you will need to paste already formatted code into the forum, highlight this code, and then press the "code" button at the top of the forum Message editor prior to posting the message. You may want to click on the Preview tab to make sure that your code is formatted correctly. Another way is to place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:
[code]
// your code block goes here.
// note the differences between the tag at the top vs the bottom.

Some Help Please. Shooting Game
Right the basic story is that im making this game where
animals cross the screen and you shoot them (aka click the mouse on
them) and get points. Im having a couple of problems.
I wanted to have the gunshot noise whenever i clicked
ANYWHERE so i put it in the mousup in a frame script but when i
click on a sprite which has its own behavior, it doesnt play
Secondly, there are items on the stage such as waves and
grass that the animals can hide behind and i can still click on
them even if i cant see them, ie click the part of the grass they
are hiding behind. How do i correct this...
Any help would be appreaciated. Thank you!!!You don't normally attach user event code to a frame. User
events, like
mouse clicks, are normally associated with an individual
item, like a
sprite. Shooter games get around this limitation by using key
events for
the shooting action. Since key events are read by the
computer and then
sent to the Director movie, they can be read by a keyDown or
keyUp
script.
There is a corollary for the mouse, the mouseDown and the
mouseUp
script. Since any system wide property like a keyDownScript
or a
mouseDownScript will take all key or mouse events, they need
to be used
with care and caution. While this is not usually a big
problem with key
events, mouse events are likely to cause some difficulty.
While the
mouseDownScript will always execute first, it will most
likely pass the
event on to any active sprite. This may or may not be what
you want to
have happen, you may want an either/or situation not an and
situation.
A simple way to block a sprite's behavior when it is hidden
is to place
a stopEvent command on the sprite that sits on top.

Need help with "Shield" on side scrolling shooter game
I am horribly new to Flash, and I need lots of help with a lot of things, most notably a shield I'm trying to give the player in a side scrolling shooter game. I need help with:
1. Making the ship change color when it's activated.
2. Making it so enemies die on contact with the ship.
3. Making the "shield" variable go down constantly while in use.
If anyone could help, I would appreciate it a lot.I wouldn't want any of you to write this program for me because I want to learn it myself. Yes I'm a student and I have to write some game with my groupe for a telephone in java like language doja. We decided to let it be a chess game. However I'm looking for an already written game in java that preferebly has some comments above the program lines so I can see what they've done. Offcourse if nobody has anything like this, yes I'm looking for a way to make an algorithm that makes the cpu move each time the player makes it's move. I have no idea on how to do this. I was hoping it can be solved with for, while, if and genest for statements. Yes it wil be a game with graphics but I think we can manage that part ourselves. So main question is the algorithm for the cpu moves. Do I have to pre-program every game in the book or is there another way etc..
I hope there's anybody that can and is willing to get me on my way since I know it maybee isn't the most simple question. -
I am doing a school project and no one seems to know how to use graphics, sound, and most importantly KEY AND MOUSE EVENTS.
Anyways I can't get my events for the mouse and keyboard to work correctly, so if anyone knows what is wrong or has some suggestions I would really appreciate it. Here is the code:

Since applet itself extends panel, you can just drop it anywhere you want (eg in a frame) and use its methpods. Otherwise you can change the code so that you extend frame/Jframe/...

Develop AI for a bot in first-person shooting game
Hi, i'm working on a web-based first-person shooting game incorporating VRML and java. As for the AI part of the bot, somebody suggested me using JESS(Java Expert System Shell). I've looked through some tutorial about the API and usage of the software, but that's of little help when it comes to building a complex program contolling the AI of the bot. How do i start? any good reference or sample available on the net? thx for your help!
Do you mean artificial behaviour (i.e. having the bad guys act like bad guys), rather than actual artificial intelligence?
There's at least one good article on Artificial Behaviour on Gamasutra.com - it discusses the AI in Thief and Half-Life:
http://www.gamasutra.com/gdc2003/features/20030307/leonard_01.htm
(You will need to make a free account with Gamasutra to view this).
In particular, it covers some pseudocode for the basics of the artificial behaviour.
I hope this is of some use to you, it's at least interesting to read. -
Any First Person Shooter Games For the iPad?
Looking for any 1st Person shooter games like Marine Sharpshooter for the iPad, can't seem to find them.
If you do a Google search, you'll find many pages devoted to discussion of these games... the App Store does not categorize them as such, but they are out there.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create a memory card game although I can't figure out where I am going wrong!! Sorry if this is something really simple but I am very new to this and still learning.
The cards are coming up as a 'matching' pair even when they are different. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! :-)
Here is a link to the flash files:

Reusing vs destroying targets in a shooting game
In a shooting game targets keep coming and either get
destroyed by the
shooter or disapper outside the screen borders.
In terms of performance what is more efficient - to reuse
used targets or to
destoy them using removeMovie() and then creating new usinf
attachMovie()?aa,

It depends on the nature of the game. The fewer movie clips
Flash has
to manage at any time, the easier it is for Flash to update
the screen
(thus, smoother game play) ... so for a relatively slow-paced
game,
interrupted on occasion by sudden flurries of targets,
removing used targets
may be better.
For a rapid-fire, no holds barred, constantly action-packed
game, I
would probably set used targets invisbile
(MovieClip._visible) property,
position them, then turn them visible again as needed.

Magic Mouse "jerks" playing bubble shooting games
How do I reduce the sensitivity when I am using my Magic Mouse while playing bubble shooting games. When I aim and then press on the mouse to shoot the mouse will jerk just from the inertia used to press on it. Very frustrating.
Hello SABCA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Hi guys,
I have to create the good old game of snake which can be found on mobile phones.
I have 9 main tasks to complete, and am inexperienced with Java so would love any feedback!
Have to first write table cells to fill out the general area for the game, I think this will be fairly easy, using the document.write method inside a for loop. I then have to add keyboard controls to move the pixel around the area.
The next stage is to move the pixel automatically in one direction, I think the window.setTimeout method can be used here, not too sure how to implement it though. When it reaches the boundary, the pixel must be stopped. These 2 stages then have to be combined so that the pixel moves automatically until it either changes direction through a click of an arrow key of it hits the boundary. Next is to add a popup notifying that the snake has hit the boundary and stop the timeout. Then the snake has to grow each time it comes in contact with a single fixed pixel which moves everytime it comes in contact.
Those are the main stages I have to complete, any help would be greatly appreciated, code, links to examples, anything like that,
Thanks everyone!yeah.. java is much different than javascript. but I was seriously bored, so I took 45mins and coded a snake script that kinda.. plays by itself. I didnt code it according to your instructions cuz.. I dont code people's homework :\. anyway it should give you a big boost:

NTSC vs PAL upcoming shoot- need help.
hi, i have a huge project coming up. some video shot in US other in Europe.
thinking of using AF-100 as well as a DSLR, as second camera cutaways.
want to use 1080 30p setting, ideally. question is, how do i handle shooting in europe? If i have a US crew and bring a NTSC camera, how shall it be shot given the 50hz vs 60hz issue? If i hire a crew in Europe using AF-100, it will be PAL but then how do I edit that footage along with stuff shot in US? much thanks.Hello Sue,
personally I'd convert everything to PAL as I've always felt that I get slightly better results from NTSC to PAL conversions than vice versa ... but it also depends on your final output.
Since you're saying that you'll shoot with AF-100s and DSLRs, why not shoot everything in 24p and forget about standards conversions? And from what I hear you can even shoot overcranked 50/60p in 24p mode with the AF-100.
hope this helps
