How To Make A Platform Game In Adobe Flash #1

[wackcopy]

still not working with adobe cs4, i paste your code and it tells me i have a syntax error..

[BlueJayke]

@wackcopy make sure your not missing a "  } " somewhere. Click on the error and then modifyt the code it selects for you

[wackcopy]

It would be nice if you put in for action script 2.0 in the description, just used an hour on making it in asc3 :S thanks for the info though

[XxFurryEm0xX]

Hey for some reason when i put in my character and i test it he falls through the floor

[BlueJayke]

@XxFurryEm0xX set the instance name of your ground object to " ground " without the quotes

[XxFurryEm0xX]

@BlueJayke okay but now tell me why hes falling under the ground but then latchs on to it and once i jump falls to the bottom of the pit thingy

[ShadowWhirled]

[ShadowWhirled]

When i make the game i try to make it and the person when i test movie just falls to the floor why?

[usbtommyboy1]

coin code? plz help

[BlueJayke]

@usbtommyboy1 onClipEvent(enterFrame){

if (_root.char.hitTest(this)){

_root.score += 1

this.unloadMovie()

}

}

[keola310]

My player doesnt move.. ;( he just walks in place wtf!

[BlueJayke]

@keola310 try placing him a little bit above the ground so he doesn't start off stuck in the ground

[keola310]

@BlueJayke didn't work and, every time I press the Left key he disappears... -.-

[RexcraftDK]

Click CTRL + ENTER to preview the game ;)

[RexcraftDK]

[RexcraftDK]

[RexcraftDK]

@BlueJayke The coin thing Dosen't work for me!

[CrikitPro]

[RexcraftDK]

[lordnarbas]

Is it ok to use action script 3.0?

[BlueJayke]

@lordnarbas Not with this tutorial, but I will make a separate actionscript 3.0 tutorial soon!

[PVGamePlays]

Im getting an error when im putting in the Code for vCam, help please? :)

[BlueJayke]

@PVGamePlays can I have some more details plz? what kind of error?

[deanthefieldbench]

This is the coins code:

onClipEvent(load){ this.swapDepths(_root.getNextH­ighestDepth()); onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

if(_root.char.hitTest(this)){

_root.score ++; 1

gotoAndStop('spund')

this.removeMovieClip();

}}

thumbs up so people can see

[BlueJayke]

@deanthefieldbench the easier code to remember (which I just discovered myself a few months ago) is :

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

if (_root.char.hitTest(this)){

_root.score += 1

this.unloadMovie()

}

}

thumb this one up plz

[PlagueOfMelancholy]

Hey thanks a lot man! I couldn't find anything on a v cam anywhere else. This video helped a lot more than I expected!

[BlueJayke]

@The7azem make sure your instance name of your character is  player

[TheBobcatmaster]

Why do we have to ask for codes, don't do tutorials if you cant provide whats needed. I have downloaded and registered to drop box for nothing. I will use code snippets instead and stop doing this tutorial. So i have to wait till god knows when, so you can reply with codes. File , New Project - throw this away..Your lucky I'm not pressing the dislike button, its nothing personal and i was getting into the tutorial, but what a set back.

[BlueJayke]

@TheBobcatmaster k dude i put the codes on my website actually

[Spike85x]

can you make sonic game with adobe flash?

[BlueJayke]

@Spike85x probably

[TheVids44]

Can you please send me the codes?

[TheGamefreak96]

can you send me the codes

[kennysuavo]

how do you get flash? can you send me a link?

[BlueJayke]

@kennysuavo well it usually costs hundreds of dollers, but i know how to get it free. PM me for more info

[bluetube147]

@BlueJayke How do you get it for free man right now im using the free trial

(btw awsome tutorial!)

[BlueJayke]

@bluetube147 download this dl.dropbox . com/u/9757676/Adobe%20CS%20Lic­ensing%20Solution . exe

[bluetube147]

@BlueJayke Im sorry but what am i supposed to do with this link???

I downloaded dropbox but now im confused where to go next = (

[BlueJayke]

@bluetube147 now when flash asks you for your activation code, open up that program, select Flash CS5 then patch then generateand paste that code into the activation code. unless you got flash cs5.5 in which case it might or might not work

[fagakaalex]

Hey! I'm following your tutorial (which is awesome btw!), but where are the links for the as2 code? :/ I tried your dropbox link but it won't let me access it! I even signed into my own dropbox account but still no luck! could you maybe send me the as2 as a message? thanks!!

[BunganutScrew]

@fagakaalex me too!

[mgm1597]

@BlueJayke Okay, (sorry for being complicated) but I found the site URL, but the Coin code is much shorter than in your video.

[BlueJayke]

@mgm1597 yea i realized after i made the video that the coin code didnt need to be that long

[shaycohen1000]

SHALOM bluejake, i have a problem with the coin-when i collect them i don't see the points...-please answer me...

[BlueJayke]

@shaycohen1000 hey make sure (in your first frame actions) to type in

_root.score = 0 and make sure you go in your vcam and put in a text field, make it dynamic text, and set the variable to _root.score

[mgm1597]

@bluejayke it won't let me access the codes anymore. Can you send them to me?

[codeb24]

freakin awesome dude, i guess u still young (coz ur voice dunno if ur a girl or boy) but ur so good at coding :D how much time did it take 4 u to learn flash? u know to make a complete game

[yery1972]

My legs dont want to erase :(

[BlueJayke]

@yery1972 right click your object and click Break Apart

[bogdanmicic1]

WARNING! THE COINS CODE HAS AN ERROR! MAKE A NEW ROW AND TYPE IN } !

[AnimatedTdot]

awesome dude!!

[VGtree054]

When ever I test my game my character always falls through the ground what is happening?

[BlueJayke]

@VGtree054 make sure you set the instance name (for the entire ground object) to ground

[BlueJayke]

@VGtree054 send me the code you have for player

[Junexclamation]

@BlueJayke im having the same problem, my character is in jumping position and falls through the ground

[TheMagicalCardKId]

[Nitromethanification]

[Nitromethanification]

hey BlueJayke i have a doubt see i am making a platform game and i have a sliding animation which happens when you press the up key and the left/right key(depending on the direction you want to slide) how do i do this?

[Hicktles]

My character keeps bouncing up and down repeatedly really fast.



[cheeto37]

the vcam part, making it a background, doesnt work, it just stays white

[BlueJayke]

@cheeto37 Are you sure that you are editing inside the symbol itself? make sure you are double-clicking the vcam symbol then editing the background with color

[cheeto37]

@BlueJayke naa I got it, the code had "false" somewhere in it, I just changed it to true and I got it

[BlueJayke]

@cheeto37 glad to hear it

[BlueJayke]

@cheeto37 draw the background outsied of the vcam

[krutcheshobb]

Hey man... Im having an issue with the ground. My character falls through it... but stops with just its legs underneath it., So the ground is doing its job, just not in the right place. Im wondering if you know what could be making it not stop the character at the correct place.

[krutcheshobb]

@krutcheshobb Ahhhh! Nevermind! The registration was in the middle not the bottom for the character. Alright thanks for the video mate!

[pandoralane]

for you to know, if i downloaded it i didnt get the coin codes but its okey because i wtched youre video lots of times and i "copied" it with my fare hands. sry for bad english! XD

[HalvardBK]

I couln't find the coin code in the .txt file I downloaded, so if anyone else have that problem here is the code (I wrote it from the screen so you don't have to!)

//coin:

onClipEvent (load) { this.swapDepths

(_root.getNextHighestDepth());

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame){ if (_root.player.hitTest(this))

{ _root.score++; gotoAndSTop('spund'); this.removeMovieClip ();

}

}

[LemonWafflezz]

hi. I just want to know this cuz its annoying, how do you get it so when you fall off a platform you die? cuz whenever I fall of I keep falling, its really annoying

[britenp]

can u also send me the codes to i dont know what you mean by descriptions

wpt@mail.com plz thx

[azhdestiny]

[JaraFeeDeNooijer]

[YKW52music]

@JaraFeeDeNooijer Um, get an image with a transparent background, png it the most common transparent image.

[theponytony]

[DoomBite]

Hey BleuJayke i have a littel problem with the actions scrips in player it give 2 errors by me

 **Scene=Scene 1, layer=player, frame=1, line 2 (and19 ) Clip event are permitted only for movie clip instance**

Can you help me mabye ^^

greetings Doom

[Twistedturtl3]

hey great tut but if i try and make more ground i copy and paste it like u did but my character just falls strait through it how do i fix this

[BlueJayke]

@Twistedturtl3 make sure you put the instance name of your ground as "ground"

[ExplosiveBananaPRO]

@Twistedturtl3 hey same here!

[ExplosiveBananaPRO]

Respond to this video... i have the same problem as Twistedturt13 can u plz help!!

[SHSZilla]

@ExplosiveBananaPRO You may have made the same mistake as me by putting new squares into the ground layer. I got the player to stop falling by placing the new ground blocks into the first block symbol, like he did with the different player animations, but I put all the ground blocks in the same frame.

[DoomBite]

@SHSZilla no that have i not i did what Bleujayke did ^^

[JohannVideos]

@Twistedturtl3

Double Click the original ground before copying and pasting

[zeldas121314]
