Rotation code not working?

[sciguy77]

Hi,

With this code my character can move forward fine, but cannot rotate left or right for some reason.


hero.gotoAndStop('still');

var Key:KeyObject = new KeyObject(stage);

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onenter);

function onenter(e:Event):void{

if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){

hero.y-=5;
hero.scaleX=1;
hero.gotoAndStop('walking');
}else{
hero.gotoAndStop('still');

}
}

function onenter2(e:Event):void{

if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
hero.rotate -= 5;
hero.scaleX=1;
}
}

function onenter3(e:Event):void{

if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
hero.rotate += 5;
hero.scaleX=1;
}
}

Try:
hero.rotation += 5;

Nope, didn't work. :(

First, it should be "rotation", not "rotate". Second, you have an event listener for adjusting the "y" value of hero, but not the rotation. You should put the code for the rotation in the same function, onenter, as opposed to registering three different listeners for enter_frame events:


hero.gotoAndStop('still');

var Key:KeyObject = new KeyObject(stage);

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onenter);

function onenter(e:Event):void{

if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
hero.y-=5;
hero.scaleX=1;
hero.gotoAndStop('walking');

} else if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
hero.rotation -= 5;
hero.scaleX=1;
} else if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
hero.rotation += 5;
hero.scaleX=1;
} else {
hero.gotoAndStop('still');
}
}

oh, and instead of using an enter_frame event listener, you could listen for a key to be pressed:


stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyClick);

Ok, now the hero can rotate, but there's a new problem. I need the hero to move in the direction its pointing, so if it turns right it can walk in that direction.

Thanks

Um, no. I still need it to move forward when it rotates.

[anakadote]

Um, no. I still need it to move forward when it rotates.

Then increase its x position at the same time you alter its rotation:


hero.x += 5;

[sciguy77]

No, I mean say the player rotates the hero left a little and then moves forward. The hero will move up, not forward.

[IQAndreas]

For moving the hero upward, use
hero.y -= 5;

But it might be different depending on your code.
If you post a little screenshot with a few arrows of what you want, I can provide the right code.
