Making the platformer
by: Brad B (etchandsketchdesigns)
What you need to draw:
1. “Character”
2. “Platform(s)”
Now: In Select the “Character” Press F8, Convert to Symbol > Movie Clip
Name it “Chart”
Select platform one it’s own Press F8 Convert to Symbol > Movie Clip
Name Each, Platform, Platorm1, Platform2.
Character Code: //enter this into the Actions panel of your movieclip
onClipEvent (load) {
fall = false;
_name = "circle";
jump = 0;
speed = 6;
jumpheight = 18;
maxfall = -54;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xmin = getBounds(_root).xMin;
xmax = getBounds(_root).xMax;
ymin = getBounds(_root).yMin;
ymax = getBounds(_root).yMax;
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && fall == false && jump == undefined) {
fall = true;
jump = jumpheight;
}
if (jump<>undefined) {
if (jump>maxfall) {
jump--;
}
_y -= jump;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= speed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += speed;
}
}
Platform codes: // enter in the Actions panel of your movieclip(s)
onClipEvent (load) {
activated = false;
down = false;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.report.text = Math.round(_root.circle.yMax)+" "+Math.round(yMin);
xmin = getBounds(_root).xMin;
xmax = getBounds(_root).xMax;
ymin = getBounds(_root).yMin;
ymax = getBounds(_root).yMax;
if (_root.circle.xMax>xMin && _root.circle.xMin<xMax && _root.circle.yMax<yMin) {
if (_root.circle.yMax-_root.circle.jump*2>yMin) {
_root.circle._y = ymin-_root.circle._height/2;
_root.circle.jump = undefined;
_root.circle.fall = false;
activated = true;
}
}
if (Math.round(_root.circle.yMax)>Math.round(yMin)) {
if (hitTest(_root.circle) && _root.circle.xmax<xmin) {
_root.circle._x -= _root.circle.speed;
}
if (hitTest(_root.circle) && _root.circle.xmin>xmax) {
_root.circle._x += _root.circle.speed;
}
if (hitTest(_root.circle) && _root.circle.ymin>ymax && _root.circle.jump>-1) {
_root.circle.jump = -1*(_root.circle.jump);
}
}
if (activated == true && not hitTest(_root.circle) && _root.circle.jump == undefined) {
_root.circle.jump = 0;
activated = false;
}
if (hitTest(_root.circle) && _root.circle.ymax>ymin && _root.circle.jump<>undefined && _root.circle._y<_y) {
_root.circle._y = ymin-_root.circle._height/2;
_root.circle.jump = undefined;
_root.circle.fall = false;
activated = true;
}
if (_root.circle.ymax-_root.circle.jump>ymin && _root.circle.xMin<xMax && _root.circle.xMax>xMin && _root.circle.jump<>undefined && _root.circle._y<_y) {
_root.circle._y = ymin-_root.circle._height/2;
_root.circle.jump = undefined;
_root.circle.fall = false;
activated = true;
}
}
now to test the game:
Press ALT and ENTER at the same time, this will bring you to the game screen, where you can test it.
Move with arrow keys. Press space to jump.
