If noKey.isDown?

[Press_Tilty]

I have my hero, and hes got standing, moving, and jumping frames.
When I do Key.RIGHT or Key.LEFT, it goes to moving, and Key.UP for jumping. How do I get it to return to standing if no key is pressed. (Or alternativley, have the frame only there while it is down). Thanks a lot!

You may want to look at Key events. This is taken directly from adobe's site:



var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
trace("DOWN -> Code: "+Key.getCode()+"\tASCII: "+Key.getAscii()+"\tKey: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));
};
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
trace("UP -> Code: "+Key.getCode()+"\tASCII: "+Key.getAscii()+"\tKey: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);


Essentially, the two events, onKeyDown and onKeyUp will tell you when a key is pressed, and released 8)

hey, also, how can a do a good jump code (ive got touchingGround bool from another tutorial, but it won't work)?
you know, with out being able to triple jump.

var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
switch(Key.getCode())
{
case UP : // up is a constant for the key code for the up key
jump();
break;
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

function jump():Void
{
if ( alreadyJumping == false ){
alreadyJumping = true;
// activate jumping code!
}
}

function jumpFinished():Void
{
// finish up the jump
alreadyJumping = false;
};

is that code as2 or 3?

[bluemagica]

that's as2, since its using object listeners, but that's more like pseudo code rather than something you can test out right away, so it dosen't matter much what version it is, just learn from its logic!

As for your very first question, logically i just check if all the action keys are not pressed, then i stand, like


if(!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && !Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && ...jump,move,whatever else you have....)
{
this.gotoAndStop("stand");
}

both of these are as2, but it should be easy to convert.

this will give your jump a decay rate so it's speed will decrease until it is moving down. it looks very realistic.


on(load){
var jumpmax = 10;
var jumpspeed = 0;
var jumpdecay = .5;
var jumping = false;
var gravity = 10;
var ground = 400; //whatever the ground is set as, you'll want to change this
}on(enterFrame){
if(character._y < ground){
character._y += gravity;
}if(character._y> ground){
character._y = ground;
}if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
if(jumping == false){
jumping = true;
jumpspeed = jumpmax;
}if(jumping == true){
ground = 1000;
character._y -= jumpspeed;
jumpspeed -= jumpdecay;
}if(jumpspeed <= -10){
jumping = false;
}if(jumping ==false){
jumpspeed = 0;
}
}

you mentioned triple jump. do you want double jumping? i could add that to the code pretty easily.

You know, there's a big, bright edit button up there, and you are supposed to use it when you plan on spamming with two,three posts in a row! You are a senior user, please behave like one, and help keep the forum clean!

hmm, ok I guess showing off is more important to you than helping others! i guess I can't do anythign about people like you....sigh!

i deleted my extra posts just to make you happy :)
now delete yours before people think you're talking to yourself
