maze and question box

[itsumoko]

[URGENT] hi! plz help me guyz... i have a problem about in randoming. i'm doing a game and this is how it works...

there's a character in my game and his aim is to finish the maze in a specific time given. inside the maze there are obstacles (for example: a stone converted as movieclip). everytime my character will hit that obstacle a question box will appear in my screen having a 4 choices- A,B,C and D.

i do not know how to random the questions everytime my character will hit some obstacles.

and also, because there are choices in the question box, i also do not know on how to disappear that obstacle if the right answer has been choosed, so he may continue his journey. and if a wrong answer has been choosed, he will go back to start of the maze.

i know my explanation is very hard to understand. but guyz plz help me...

You are going to have to use hitTest() function to detect the collision. After that I'd put the desired responses in an array:

myChoice = []
myChoice.push("ChoiceA")
myChoice.push("ChoiceB")
myChoice.push("ChoiceC")
myChoice.push("ChoiceD")

Then I'd randomly select one of those...

var choice = Int(Math.random()*3
_root["message_to_user"] = myChoice[choice]

This will place one of the choices into a dynamic text box with a variable of "message_to_user".

You could also do this using buttons. The button choice would determine the array item to use.

Hope this helps.

thnx! hhhmm... can i ask some more... where will i place this? and i am not randoming the choices because is only a part of the question which is the one i need to random everytime the character will hit an obstacle.

I would place it in a function in a movieclip somewhere and call that function when the hit test is done.
