PLatform tutorial in 7 steps

[Pablo123456789]

I made this tutorial for all you noobs its how to make a platform game in 7 steps
Step 1.create character movie clip

Step 2.Inside Character_mc create 3 frames

step 3 name frame 1 Idle frame 2 walking frame 3 jump

Step 4 in frame 1 just put the hero standing

step 5 frame 2 make a movie clip of the character walking in the same place

step 6 in frame 3 draw how the character will look when he jumps

step 7 go to main timeline in the m_c put these actions

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;

}

}
if there are any problems email me at josjvr6@aol.com

I don't know if you realise it, but you never told them to create the platforms you are hittesting for... nor anything about right or left bounds. but other than that it looks alright.

[nathan99]

yer i realised that to, and you should you [ as] tags so;


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;
}
}

i did the tut too fast i didn't realize thanks for pointing that out

[hybrid101]

got that from flashkit,am i right?? that's the same engine i'm using:)

Its funny that you are calling other people noobs, considering thats a noobish platform setup.

Also, this isnt a tutorial at all. You are basically handing "noobs" a script that they have no idea how to use. You need to explain what the code does, why you used it, possible alternatives, blah blah blah.

Im going home....stupid overtime.

[Pablo123456789]

Im noob you haven't seen my work ok so shut up

[Skribble]

I can see your work right here in this thread and im telling you, its dodgey.

[nathan99]

LoL easy skribble man, back off:P deep breathes counting to 10 :P

[Skribble]

eh?

He's the one whos being hostile, telling me to shutup and all. I was telling him what I saw. A dodgey, noobish, script that is not a tutorial at all.

He can tell me to shutup all he wants, doesnt change the fact that he should first learn what it is he's trying to teach

[nathan99]

lol.
