Creating a Multi-Directional Shooter
October 2nd, 2008
David Danielsson sent in a tutorial. It’s so you can make something shoot left and right, like in a sidescrolling shooter. You can add a bit of code to it to make it shoot in 4 directions easily though. Here it is:

Thanks for uploading and editing. You made it alot better.

No worries. I didn’t change any of the tutorial, I just made the look of it suit the blog.

I just noticed a bug in the full code…
_root["Bullet"+i]._x = Ship._x+3;
and
_root["Bullett"+i]._x = Ship._x-20;
October 3rd, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Well it should really be:
_root["Bullet"+i]._x = Ship._x + Ship._width / 2;
But it won’t really make that much of a difference.

Nah the reg. point is in the middle. So the ship._x and ship._y is good enough

Hey guys, I know this is off topic, but… I’m not sure how you would put this code in a frame, not a movie clip:
if (root._score <=0) {
, but whatever.
gotoAndPlay(6);
}
————————————————-
Yeah, I know I’m stupid and I know I’m bad at coding but if someone could show me how to put this in a frame that would be great. Or even if they could change it if they know what I’m talking about
P.S. I’m working in AS2

You would put it inside the onEnterFrame funtion. It would look something like:
onEnterFrame = function(){
…other code here…
if (root._score <=0) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
}
}

hey i know this is off topic but i dont know where else to put it (seeing as the old site is dead). Iv’e been trying to create a platformer game in which there are also enemies, ive tried combining some of the code from 2 of your old tutorials but i cant get him to jump
anyway this is the code on the main “man” MC
onClipEvent(load){
fight = false;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(fight == false){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && fight != true){
this._x -= 12;
this._xscale = -100;
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}else if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && fight != true){
this._x += 12;
this._xscale = 100;
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}else{
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
this.gotoAndStop(4);
fight = true;
}
if(this._currentframe == 1){
fight = false;
}
}
onClipEvent(load){
var jump:Number = 0;
var jumping:Boolean = false;
var falling:Boolean = false;
var g:Number = 10;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(jumping == true || falling == true){
this._y -= jump;
}
if(jumping == false){
if(!falling){
jump = 0;
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
jump = 15;
jumping = true
}
}
if(jumping == true){
jump -= 1;
}
if(jump <= -10){
jump = -10;
}
for(i=0;i<g;i++){
if(jumping == true && this.hitTest(_root["ground"+i])){
jumping = false;
}
}
for(i=0;i<g;i++){
if(!jumping && !this.hitTest(_root["ground"+i]) && !falling){
falling = true;
this._y -= 1;
}
}
if(falling == true){
for(i=0;i<g;i++){
if(this.hitTest(_root["ground"+i])){
falling = false;
}
}
jump -= 1;
}
}
I know it is probably useless but its the best i could do, and if you do decide to help me and you need more info email me at Phill.rulerofyou@gmail.com

electronic cigarettes are the greatest thing to ever hit the market for smokers, I wasn’t even trying to quit regular cigarrettes. I intended to use the electronic cigarette to smoke more places and more often. within a week I could no longer stand cigarettes.

You realize in which press button from the elevator that has a fireman’s hat on there? Ends up that’s DEFINITELY NOT the key anyone press in order to get some sort of fireman’s cap.
