well I want to make a game in flash and I got codes for movement and hittest with buildings and stuff. I have some problems with other scripts I need to figure out. the game soppused to be scripted like zelda basiclly( character moves around, talk to people and attack with a sword) but I want it to be with gta-style gameplay ( when you talk to people they give you missions). I asked some forums on how to do that stuff but they keep ignoring or just post stupid replys… so if you want to help me, here is what I need you to help me with: - attacking- shooting , sword or melee - scrolling (smooth scrolling or screen transitions) - inventory(with getting and giving items on inventory) - process of talking someone (how to use triggers?) ---

Well talking is simple just make dynamic textbox with the var name message on a movie clip labeled talk.Then the code onClipEvent (load) { timer = false;//timer is off c=0; } onClipEvent (enterFrame) { \_root.f = c; if (this.hitTest(\_root.hero)) { ``` _root.talk._visible=1; _root.talk.message = "Hi."; c = 0; timer = true; } if (timer == true) {//start timer c++; } if (c>=5) {//timer clicks 50 times _root.talk._visible=0; c = 0; timer = false; } ``` } Then just label your character hero. ---

thnx, but how can I make my character attack (with animation changing)? I know It’s something like "if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {"…gotoandplay… but I don’t know how to do the hittest stuff with stuff like sword attack or gun shot… ---

It’s this: ```php if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) { hero.gotoAndStop("slash_animation"); hero.slash_animation.play(1); } } ``` as for the sword hitting, inside of 'is animation, make the sword into a movieClip and give it an instance name of “sword”. Then program the heros actions to say: ```php if (hero.slash_sequence.sword.hitTest(badGuy)) { badGuy.gotoAndStop("die_animation"); } } ``` ---

how can I get him to stop attacking? I want him to attack once in every key press, and not continue to attack without stopping… I tried to put “stop()”, write “gotoandstop” but it just made that worse. ---
