A platform game

[Konradix]

So I want to make platform game. I've done hero walking, idle and jumping from both sides, but how do I make it walk, and change sprite when I turn (when I'm walking to left then it uses left sprite walking, but when im walking to right its not flipping horizontal, its changing left walking to right.).

[Suyo]

Drag 'n' Drop or Code?

(when I'm walking to left then it uses left sprite walking, but when im walking to right its not flipping horizontal, its changing left walking to right.)

Sounds like you have a problem there. Can you post your code?

[Konradix]

Well I had one which actually flipped horizontal when it went to the left. There is it:

CODE IN PLAYER

Code: Select all

onClipEvent (load) {
   gravity = 10;
   scale = _xscale;
   walkSpeed = 6;
   maxjump = 6;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
   if (air == true) {
      _y += gravity;
      state = 3;
   }
   if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !_root.leftbound.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
      _x -= walkSpeed;
      _xscale = -scale;
   }
   if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && !_root.rightbound.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
      _x += walkSpeed;
      _xscale = scale;
   }
   if (_root.platforms.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
      air = false;
   } else {
      air = true;
   }
   if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && jump == true) {
      _y -= jumpSpeed;
   }
   if (air == false) {
      jump = true;
      jumpcount = 0;
      jumpSpeed = 22;
   }
   if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
      jumpcount += 1;
   }
   if (jumpcount > maxjump && jumpSpeed > -2) {
      jumpSpeed -= 2;
   }
   if (air == false && !Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe < 4 or air == false && !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe < 4) {
      state = 1;
   }
   if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && air == false && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe < 4 or Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && air == false && !Key.isDown(65) && _currentframe < 4) {
      state = 2;
   }
   if (!Key.isDown(65)) {
      gotoAndStop(state);
   }
   _root.statetxt = state;
}
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
   if (Key.getCode() == 83) {
      jump = false;
   }
}

That looks awfully like coding for flash, are you using flash?

[Konradix]

Yes im using flash. It was called Platform Source maybe.

[Buff_]

I'll look at the code, and test something out; see if I can do something with it. Also, can I see what you're actually doing? I need to see what the sprites are, I'm only using a square..

EDIT: Should this be moved to Flash Player Showcase?

DOUBLE POST!!!!!!! New info on this..

I use this.

Code: Select all

onClipEvent (load) {
   var grav:Number = 0;
   var run:Number = 10;

   var slow:Number = .7;
   var slowspd:Number = speed/2;
   var setspeed:Number = speed;
   var scale:Number = _xscale;
   var ex:Number = 5;
   this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
   grav++;
   _y += grav;

      setspeed = wlk;

      tjump = false;
      _y--;
      grav = 5;
   }
   if (_root.water.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
      grav *= slow*1.25;
      speed = slowspd;

}

This automatically changes the characters direction. You may need to edit some of the hitTests though.

So I just have to make idle guy, jumping guy and walking? Or how, cuz im not sure how you've done that.

[Buff_]

Walk=Frame 1
Jump=Frame 2
Idle=Frame 3
Moving and in the air=Frame 4

This is all inside the symbol.

[Konradix]

Ok guy is turning but what should I put in a platform?
