Platform Hittest

[BullDog_Flash]

Ok im making a platform game first time since I ever started Flash programming..


Anyways I want the Character to not fall through the platform or jump form below a platform and go through it.

The Code

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (hitTest(_root.hero)) {
_root.hero._y = this._y-68;
_root.hero.platform = "on";
}
}

Thats the code that im using came from a tut that im doing but found that the tut wasent all that great so started folli around with the code.

Also with that code if i make the platform bigger it doesent work and it takes a long time in order to get the platform wokring.

I was thikin of adding alot of diffrent platform but dont want to keep changin the code.

Anyone Got Some Help?

it would be easier to putt all the platforms in one MC and use a real hittest (platforms.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) so u only have to code once

Which, symultaneuously would enable you to easily do other checks (like whether you're hitting a platformer from below [platforms.hitTest(_x,_y - _height,true)])
