yet again confused

[whitegriffin]

hey all im sure most of u forums leaders have read posts on my game and i have run ino yet another porblem i have enemys and u shoot them k on hit they go and play a movie clip to show that they die (like blood) but if u shot them again when there playing the mc the replay the mc again heres my script for the bullet:

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.mysound2 = new Sound();
_root.mysound2.attachSound("die");
laserMoveSpeed = 50;
this._x = _root.spaceship._x+32;
this._y = _root.spaceship._y-70;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._name<>"laser") {
this._x += laserMoveSpeed;
if (this._x>600) {
_root.spaceship.laserCounter--;
this.removeMovieClip();
}
for (i=1; i<=_root.numEnemy; i++) {
if (this.hitTest(_root["enemy"+i])) {
_root.mySound2.start();
_root.score += 100;
_root["enemy"+i].gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.spaceship.laserCounter--;
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
}
}

thanks
(the code got messed up with copy and paste )

Try chaging this:
_root["enemy"+i].gotoAndPlay(2);
to this:
if (!_root["enemy"+i].dead) {
_root["enemy"+i].gotoAndPlay(2);
_root["enemy"+i].dead = true;
}
That sets a variable when the enemy is killed and it wont run the anim if the enemy is already dead.

ok i did that but now u can olny kill the first 4 or so enemys then the bullet wont kill any others, but it work for the first 4 guys

[Jesse]

The variable it sets is local. It should have no effect on the other enemies. Unless they are made using duplication on the killed clips.

[whitegriffin]

here ill just give u the fla file gamehard.fla (http://www.geocities.com/thewhitegriffin/gamehard.fla)

[Jesse]

Wel that link is busted but I got the file and figured it out anyway. Just put this on frame one of the enemy MC:
this.dead = false;
Since you're using the same clips over and over you have to reset the life variable when the next stream of enemies come in. Nice game.

[whitegriffin]

but now its just back to mormalk and if u hit the guys more than once they dont die(and link works)

[Jesse]

As far as I can tell it's fine... It's attached

[whitegriffin]

ok here the swf file linked game (http://www.geocities.com/thewhitegriffin/game.swf)

check it ut for urself

[Jesse]

Crap, it's too b ig to attach. OK check out www.actionscript.org/help/whitegriffin/

[Jesse]

Mine doesn't do that, see the FLA I linked above, when you publish that it doesn't let you shoot the baddies more than once.

i was wondering.... thanks a lot though
