Ok so i was making this game where you control a kinda erratic crosshair around the screen with arrow keys and push z to shoot enemies which is in a first person style game (though you don’t move around). Anyways I thought to make it like a machine gun style gun.
Here’s where I’ve probably gone horribly wrong. I made a movie clip of a blob/bullet shrinking fast as tho it was moving away from you. Then in the movie clip on one of the frames where the blob/bullet is far away i put an invisible circle (called hit) that could hittest with the enemy.
Then i made it so that when z is pressed, this movie clip duplicates wherever the crosshair currently is.
Then i drew a test monster on the screen which changes colour frame by frame and is told to go to the next frame when it hittests with the “hit” object in the bullet.
The problem? It doesn’t work. lol.
I’m sure I’m doing this in a silly way and it’s probably better to use more code and things but I still use flash 5 and I make most of my games using movie clips and hittests and things.
Anyways if anyone could help, that’d be great. i’ve uploaded the file, which im sorry is really messy.
