start simple! RPG’s are increadibly hard to make (good one’s at least) do you even have a story or a title yet? Not much piont creating something if there’s no purpose.

Skinny is right, you won’t finish it untill you learn to do much, much simpler things. Those kind of games require imense amounts of dedication, experience and time. If you really want to go through with this nevertheless, then don’t make a topic asking how to do all this, and expect responses. Take time to browse the site for relavent tutorials and DEFINITELY do a search of topics in the Actionscript and Game/AI board before you even think of posting this much over-posted topic. I’m really getting sick of this. Before anyone says that I probably started out flashing in this way, (ie. spamming boards and looking for immediate answers) I did not at all. I spent much time observing other flash apps and doing tuts.

PS: GTA IS NOT A RPG BY ANY STRETCH!

EDIT: For a start, check out the “Basics of an RPG” (or whatever it’s called) post.

Sure, this is a sharing forum after all. I actually got some help for this bit of code (took me ages to even get a line workin). It might be a little complex but I’ll be happy to answer any questions about it.

```auto

if (!_root.triangle) {
		_root.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle", 1);
		_root.createEmptyMovieClip("triangle2", 2);
		this.swapDepths(3);
		trace("not exist");
	}
	u++;
	if (u>=100) {
		_root.triangle.clear();
		_root.triangle2.clear();
		trace("clear");
		u = 0;
	}
	if (speed == 0) {
	}
	if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
		u = 0;
		point = new object();
		point2 = new object();
		point.x = Lwheel._x;
		point.y = Lwheel._y;
		point2.x = Rwheel._x;
		point2.y = Rwheel._y;
		localToGlobal(point);
		localToGlobal(point2);
		Lx = point.x;
		Ly = point.y;
		Rx = point2.x;
		Ry = point2.y;
		_root.triangle.lineStyle(5, 0x666666, 100);
		_root.triangle2.lineStyle(5, 0x666666, 100);
		if (p != 1) {
			g++;
			trace(Rx+" | "+Lx+" | "+p+" "+g);
			_root.triangle.moveTo(Lx, Ly);
			_root.triangle.lineTo(Lx, Ly);
			_root.triangle2.moveTo(Rx, Ry);
			_root.triangle2.lineTo(Rx, Ry);
			p = 1;
			if (g == 10) {
				_root.triangle.clear();
				_root.triangle2.clear();
				trace("clear");
				g = 0;
			}
		}
		_root.triangle.lineTo(Lx, Ly);
		_root.triangle2.lineTo(Rx, Ry);
	} else {
		// triangle.clear();
		p = 0;
	}
{

```

I made two movie clips for the back wheels (Rwheel, Lwheel) and then the code just defines two points and draws the lines in between.

_edit_

Have a look at the wrx racing game. You should be able to get it at flashkit. That will show you collision detection, car physics, skidmarks, scrolling, etc.
