help with an RPG game

[Reginald]

Hello

I'm in the process of making a game.

The only problem is I need a universal way to detect hitTests to stop the guy from moving about but allow him to move the other. I need some help on how you guys do yours

if you need an example of what i mean check here (http://www.mettle-animation.com/game/blank.swf)

:blush: my bad

well i would use a hittest MovieClip

which would be behide the room drawing then you would only have to test one MC. you can add differend hittests for special things.
here is a example ;)

ahh cheers, nice one. I think i get it now

but how do you keep him from going through do you put so thast he goes -vel or somehting?

[Marz]

To top the character from moving through. You would just use an offset number. Say.. Evertime you hit the left arrow key, your movieClip goes 10 pixels to the left. So.. if you run into a wall. You'll want to go back to the right 10 pixels.

Some pseudo code for you..


if(character runs into wall)
{
if(direction == left){ move character back right; }
if(direction == right){ move character back left; }
if(direction == top){ move character back down; }
if(direction == bottom){ move character back up; }
}


It's relatively simple to pull off. How to hitTest. I'd recommend using the tile based system.. Track which tile your character is currently on... then use a system of flags (0's or 1's) inside of a 3d array myArray[value][value] and then you can figure out if tit's passable or not passable.. If it is.. Allow the character to walk through, if not.. Stop him and perform the above operations.
