[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

can somebody please help me with this code, it wont add the points to the box


if (red.hitTest(_root.blue) and attach != "" and drag == true) {
_root.tackle += 1;
}

[Blackspirit]

umm, _root.tackle.text += 1; ?

That might give you wierd results though like 1 + 1 = 11

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

what? .text? wtf? do u know how i cant make the defender close in on my controlled guy?

[KIERIOSHIMOTO]

i mean can i make him move towards the guy

[Blackspirit]

when your targeting a text field, yes you need the .text.

To get a defender to move towards your guy you'll have to check if the defenders x and y position against your guys x/y.

Start pseudo code:


If(defender.x > yourGuy.x)
defender.x--
else
defender.x++

if(defender.y > yourGuy.y)
defender.y--
else
defender.y++


Edit: You can edit your old posts with the edit button, theres no point posting a new one a minute after the old. :)

I tried the text thing and it didnt work

[Blackspirit]

hehe, the text thing doesn't work? hmm the text box is called _root.tackle? And its dynamic?

You could just increment a variable, and the have the text boxes "var:" property point to it.
