AS, A little challenge for ya'll...

[Dipshitprod]

Allright people..... I've got a little problem with an actionscript..... here it comes....

onClipEvent(load){
speed=10; stop();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){_x+=speed; gotoAndStop(1);}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){_y+=speed; gotoAndStop(2);}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){_x-=speed; gotoAndStop(3);}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){_y-=speed; gotoAndStop(1);}
}

It's from the AS: BASIC MOVEMENT forum, for those who can find the part that is wrong in this script, pat yourself on the back =), I allready knew it, and that's not the point... Frame 1, 2, 3 and (in this script) 1.... (yup, that's it, should be 4...) Are WALKING animations, how do I make my character like, play frame 5 if I release Right??

Thank ya'll in advance <3

It's obvious, both UP and RIGHT are gotoAndPlay(1);
and 1 should be standing still.

one word for you, "else"

Damn, I've misread :P
just turn "gotoAndPlay(1);" to "gotoAndPlay(5);" knowing that the number is the frame number.

ehm... no...
the final gotoAndPlay should be 4, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 are walking, so tell me, how do I let my MC go to frame 5 if I release Right, go to frame 6 if I release Down, go to 7 if I release Left and go to 8 if I release Up????

Inglor, I did, the problem is, it didn't help out this time =(
I'm not that much a n00b that I don't mind some posts ;)

if(left){
face left
}else if(right){
face right
}... ... else{
face idle
}

[IWantSomeCookies]

What about this:

else if (!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}

Wouldnt that work?

Sorry that isn't working, The version like this, or an edited gotoAndStop version with all the right frames filled in......Maybe this helps.....

onClipEvent(load){
speed=10; stop(); dir=0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
_x+=speed; gotoAndStop(2); dir=0;
}else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
_x-=speed; gotoAndStop(3); dir=1;
}else{
if (dir==0){
gotoAndStop(1);
}else{
gotoAndStop(4);
}
}
}

This is for a side scrolling game...Can anybody change this into four movement???

Did you evern READ the post?I knew that, I even solved a problem in that script from AS-Movement-Basic..... what I want to know is how to make it go to frame 5 when I release the key right, like this,

if I press right, play frame 1 (walking right)
if I press down, play frame 2 (walking down)
if I press left, play frame 3 (walking left)
if I press up, play frame 4 (walking up)
------------------------------------------
---------------------^Allready know script for that^
if I take my finger off right, play frame 5 (standing still, facing right)
if I take my finger off down, play frame 6 (standing sitll, facing down)
if I take my finger off left, play frame 7 (standing still, facing left)
if I take my finger off up, play frame 8 (standing still, facing up)
------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
-----------^Problemo^

I know you only want to help... but seriously....

[Denvish]

Try this (untested)

onClipEvent(load){
speed=10; stop(); dir=1;moving=0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){moving=1; dir=1;}
else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){moving=1; dir=2;}
else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){moving=1; dir=3;}
else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){moving=1;dir=4;}
else{moving=0;}

if(moving){
gotoAndPlay(dir);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(dir+4);
}

}

You probably want to change the gotoAndPlays to gotoAndStops :P

[Devenger]

People make mistakes, and you my friend are in no position to go off aobut people not reading posts. There is a good way of using else here, which I can't be bothered to type - Denvish has the way I'd do it though.

[Dipshitprod]

Yup, that one works.....but there is only one problem with it (no offense meant) when I apply this script, it works perfectly, but the movements turn into non-moving graphics.... so, like frame 1 is moving right, when I release it, it goes to frame 5, good, but the movie clip in frame one (in the movie clip character) holds still, it only shows the first frame of the mc in the character =/, so like, it holds still, I press right, it sets one step (the first frame of the mc) and then the mc stops.... =/

Ah allright, ignore my last post then, thank you all for helping me out!! you have no idea how glad I am ^^ Thank you all agian a 999999999-infinity (-infinity is an as part i found in the index, it seemed a fun joke to me) times!

Hmmm, that's because it's continually jumping to the frame. Try holding the original frames 'dir' in the variable 'olddir' and checking before the gotoAndStop. Not the cleanest way, but it should work. Bear in mind I haven't got Flash open, so I'm just making this up... =P

onClipEvent(load){
speed=10; stop(); dir=1; olddir=1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){moving=1; dir=1;}
else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){moving=1; dir=2;}
else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){moving=1; dir=3;}
else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)){moving=1;dir=4;}
else{moving=0;}

if(moving){
if(dir!==olddir){
gotoAndStop(dir);
}
}else{
gotoAndStop(dir+4);
}
olddir=dir;
}

Yes, and that is what it is. There is a '!' at the beginning of the code, which means like "if bla bla is not pressed" ?

[Dipshitprod]

sorry, there wasn't a ! and a ! means "not"
