Well, with the help of a particularly useful tutorial, I have managed to create a tile-based platformer with two tiles made: Ordinary blocks that will prevent you from falling or running into, and ladders that you can climb up or down. This is my total code:
xspeed = 0;
yspeed = 0;
max_yspeed = 20;
walk_speed = 8;
climb_speed = 5;
climbing = false;
jumping = false;
can_jump = true;
gravity = 1;
jump_power = 10;
walking_while_jumping = true;
// Break

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("lev",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("lad",_root.getNextHighestDepth());

Basically, you can go up and down ladders, jump, run, all that good stuff. The next item I want to add is a door when I have the integer 3 in my array. I already made the code for adding it into my array, which is bolded in the code, made frame 3 in my block MC and everything, but I’m not sure how to use the getHitTest() function to create a new array with all of my code along with it. I can attach the .fla if needed. Any suggestions?
