chasing game

[ash_at_risk]

hello friends ,
I am trying to develop a game where our car(yellow) is chased by enemy car(green) , if enemy car catches us , game over but i am unable to figure out ,how i can make it feasible to make enemy car to catch us.
One way i think to make it possible is that i have implemented the bezier tween throughout the track, pause the tween if enemy Car hits our car for 2-3 seconds , game over if time exceeds & no car movement is detected from player side, but how can i get the player car position at any instant of time?
but If i get it by any means , the tween of the enemy start from begining every time the coordinate of car position is passed onto enemy Tween function
Please guide me
i have attached the required files

Hello ash, trying to create this game using tweens on the timeline will be a big headache. What you should do is look into using movieclips and actionscript.

There are a few great game-making tutorials listed in the sticky of game/ai programming: http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43182

I would recommend these to get started:

• Kirupa AS1 OOP

• Tile Based Games by TONYPA

Just get it fromt he mc? You have given the yellow car movieclip the name "car", so it would be as simple as:

var playerCurrentX = car.x
var playerCurrentY = car.y

ofcourse you don't need to use the two variables playerCurrentX and playerCurrentY as you can just reference to the car directly.
