Flash RPG Tutorial Part 3: Creating A Scoring System

[VirusChris]

I'm having a slight problem myself. I got everything to work, the character movement, the coins and scoring, but there's this problem that driven me nuts!

I have 3 coins on the field and when my character puts up the first one it gets all of the OTHER coins' points so instead of getting 10 points from one coin I get 30 and I cannot touch the other coins.

And when I grab them it doesn't work unlike the first one! What did I do wrong to get this error? Please PM me to help resolve this issue.

[leokful]

the script code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){ if(_root.char.hitTest(this)){ _root.score+=15; unloadMovie(this); }

}

frame script:

score = 0;

dynamic text 'var':

_root.score

hey,

Im trying to make a game and i have an enemy, money, and a health bar.

I made it so that when your health reaches zero, it goes to a screen that says "You Lose". I am wondering what I need to do that would make it go to level two when the money reaches 100.

Help would be appreciated

Thanks!

[2744spartan]

i have a small problem, my char can collect the money, but it doesn't count towards the score, how do i fix this?

[snattaren92]

Can I control how much the enemie damage me? would like to do that different enemies cause different damage

[SuperBisky]

how about character creation? how do you do that?

[Moldysquirral]

try setting in the timeline frame

Ammo = 20;(or whatever amount u want)

Score = 0;

and On(release){ instead onclipevent if u want it only on clicking of enemy but thats just a guess u can try it

[zeron1231]

mine isnt workin...when i touch the coin it does nuthin

[Skedist]

you know, you should really be really specific about you're typing like in the begining script you put a , instead of a . and also in that script you had a S instead of a s for score, so i had to tweak with the script a bit but in fact, it did work thanks =D

[activeellis]

have you changed the score box to dynamic text not static or input?

[FlashEpics]

Great Now at de end how do you do with those 2 balls.

[alonso679]

hey i have a problem wen i touch the coin it it tells on the score nan.what do i do?help!!!

[FLAMERAMPAGE]

you havnt out in the frame that your score is 0,

go to your frame and type;

score = 0

then retry and you should get it working

[pcaterbas]

can i ask? why does when i touch the coin it doesn't put score(i put variable{var})

[FeRcHoXSS]

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

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

_root.score += 10;

unloadMovie(this)

}

}

xD jeje

[killerchicken750]

lol a dog

[HaLO3gamer91]

every time i roll over them it says "NaN" how do do fix this?

[HaLO3gamer91]

what if i want to click the coin instead of rolling onto it?

[DJ2109]

Thank's man! I love you! Haha!

[alig96]

Hey Guys Any 1 whos struggling: her is wat goes on the coin:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

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

_root.score += 10;

unloadMovie(this);

}

}

[Sa1Productions]

rofl I thought i heard a dog barking in the first few secs

[10dog102]

3:10 test

[FeRcHoXSS]

on 3:40

what is the code?

[animation7king]

umm mine are gone when i go over but the score says NaN

wtf?????

[WhoCaresProductions7]

it's not working for me... i've watched the video about 5 times, changed the actionscript, about 40 something times and am still trying to get this to work... if anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated!

[vulcant13]

I've been watching a shooting game tut and i was wondering how I'd make it so that when i shot the target i get a point.

on (release){ gotoAndPlay (2);

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

_root.score+=15;

unloadMovie(this);

}

}

my script didnt work lol

[vulcant13]

i think its the hitTest thingy

[Manifest222]

Hey when i get the money, it says NaN (i think meens Not acceptable Name)

[Archxonus]

NaN = Not a Number

[killerz104]

omg underscore dot RRRRRRRRRRR XD

[JSKDirect]

Terrible Mic, but good tut

[Pizzaguy0404]

Wat if it all works but wen i go over one it goes up by two and then the other but it doesnt go up??

[dorkisu]

I have to admit this video is very hard to hear so i went through the trouble of finding what the script is just for you guys:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

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

_root.score +=10

unloadMovie(this);

}

}

that is the code for the coin but i dont no why but it just goes 10 - 1010 - 101010 instead of actuall 10-20-30

;) need more help pm me

[PivotyPivoty]

try switching the += to =+10

[PivotyPivoty]

switch the += to =+

i did that and it worked

[FeRcHoXSS]

i need your help.

in the end, the script makes an action to "Character" which is for the currency to touch up the score, which is that code?

[WhoCaresProductions7]

does this work in flash 8.0 - actionscript 2.0?

[PivotyPivoty]

yes

[PivotyPivoty]

doesn't work

[PivotyPivoty]

never mind, i got it

[djdawkins36]

[mariofreaky]

thx. although i couldn't read it on the videos, with people's comments this vid was helpful. thx so much. u rock

[BackrockCo]

This video sucks ass.. your 1st one was verry good help but you dont fucking tell us the whole script...yea... it dont help at all.... you dont even say the whole script...

[3dw1n94]

dun scold ppl suck ass....especially when u r noob at actionscripts...anyways,here's another type of actionscript....

create a text (dynamic text)....in the 'var' bar, name it 'score'(or anything u like),

goes to the frame:

score=0;

now create an item(movieclip)

in it type:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

if(_root.char.hitTest(this)){ _root.score+=10;

}

}

[blockdrogon]

Ok I managed to get this working really well, I even messed around with the codes and enabled that even the enemy and my character gets unloaded after my hp is less than or equal to 0. But the problem is score now, I want to make it so I get however many scored points I put down after I have the enemys hp go all the way down and it unloads. But that isnt happening, Im getting score while in contact with the enemy. So what I'm asking is PLZ TELL ME HOW TO GET SCORE AFTER KILLING THE ENEMY!

[blockdrogon]

oh srry, not just my hp, the enemys hp to XD

[PJJMDCC]

Bark Bark XD

[Inzuki]

What is the code for the frame? ):

[thumtacks]

you should really put the instructions in the description for the video, it's impossible to follow it all.

[cliffordex]

I caught on, finally, you have to put the name of the variable textbox (the dynamic textbox) and make it equal to 0, therefore telling the script that it is NOT a string, but a variable number. In this case the line must say: "_root.score=0;" THX PBJ, and of course, the fans.

[cliffordex]

I'm confused on the whole coin thing, i put the score=0 thing in, but it still... 2+2=22 10+10=1010

=S

[scottykal12]

me too!!!!

[vmistry94]

whats the code if you want to make a shooter game, you shoot something and the score increases, how do you do that? i tried but i cant do it :(. thanks to any that can help me out.

[Jaych4]

[pro1master]
