Hit Test Problem

programming
1

I have searched the foru and read the tutorial on how to do this so I tried to get my own code out of it…
What Im doing is I have a character and he can walk around… whenever he gets to a wall I want him to stop…
here is my code


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (wall1.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMax, _y, true)) {
				_x -= 1;
			}
			if (wall1.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMin, _y, true)) {
				_x += 1;
			}
			if (wall1.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMax, true)) {
				_y -= 1;
			}
			if (wall1.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMin, true)) {
				_y += 1;
			}
}

All Help is appreciated

no body ?:q:

instead of _y, or _x -=1, try this._x or this._y

oh and


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        if (_root.walkingMarz.hitTest(_root.wall1)) {
                _root.gotoAndPlay(1);
        }
}

wouldnt work because i guess youre confusing AS movement and frame handling…

should be


onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
        if (_root.walkingMarz.hitTest(_root.wall1)) {
                _root.gotoAndPlay(1);
        }
}

hmm i dont know whats wrong with this… I have basically a character… you can move him around with the arrow keys… i want it so that if you walk into a wall it will stop…

im using controlment using the arrow keys… your .fla is automated… im putting the actions on the character movieclip
