Duplicating Probelm

1

See I want my MC to get duplicated only at a certain time or at certain points so I added this.

    if (random(100) == 30) {
        i = i+1;
        duplicateMovieClip(_root.stick, "stick"+i, i);
        this._x -= 5;
    }

And that does not seem to wrok.

it doesent add them.

The problem with that code is that the chances of random(100) hitting exactly 30 is a billion to one. You would have to put like Math.floor(random(100)) or Math.round(random(100)); to get a round number, but then your chances of seeing a movieClip duplicate would be a hundred to one. That could be a long time.

If you just want them to randomly show up, you can use this:
[AS]
//this code is in a seperate movieClip - I usually make an
//empty one on the side of the stage for my duplicate codes
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(getTimer()>randomTime){
randomTime=getTimer()+(1000+Math.random()*10000);
//that will put your time randomly between 1 sec and 10 sec
i++;
//i++ is the same as i=i+1;
duplicateMovieClip(_root.stick, “stick”+i, i);
}
[/AS]
Then put your movement code on the original ‘stick’ movieClip:
[AS]
onClipEvent(load){
//where you want ‘stick’ to appear
_x=200;
_y=200;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_x-=5;
//you may want to delete MCs when they leave the stage too
if(_x<0){
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
[/AS]
There ya go!!

[AS]Math.round(random(100));[/AS]
You’re a bit confused, Freddy.

The random function returns an integer, you don’t need to round the number. :stuck_out_tongue:

It does? I thought it was the same as Math.random() ??!! My bad!! Still, the chances are one in 100 - could be a long time. (Right?)
:confused:

No whow would I do a Hitest for that

7

hitTest another movieClip? Or the mouse? Is this for a game?

8

Yes it is

ne one I need the Duplicated HitTest for MCS hittin another

Someone please help I have been looking all day just to figure out how to make a HitTest work on a Duplicated MC

I tried learning how hitTest works with a game that I made. The one that I made has some bugs, but the entire post has other peoples suggestions that I never got around to try. I haven’t really gotten into games (yet). At the end of this thread, there’s a game like mine - except it works. So, here it is:

Good luck!(-:

Hope maybe the someone can help.

Hope ya help.

I played with it, but I can’t figure it out. You may consider starting a new thread with ‘hitTest’ in the title - that way people who know hitTest will look at it. Sorry I couldn’t help more. The code you want is in that zip file that is on page three of the thread I spoke of before - I couldn’t figure it out, it’s beyond me. :*(

i was just playing around quickly and i got one stick to work and im trying more at the moment
