Newbie Collision Problem

programming flash
1

Hello Kirupa Community,

am pretty new to Kirupa and Flash.

I have a little problem, concerning a character hitting a wall. :slight_smile:

What i have: a char that can jump and move around by the arrow keys.

What i need: character shall stop movement if he hits a geometry. But being able to start movement again, besides through the geometry. IĀ“d like to reach this with gskinners CheckForCollision class. Have a look here: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2005/10/source_code_sha.html But i didnt manage my code to get it work. So maybe you could leak me some information on how to get this done.

Heres my code so far:

onClipEvent (load)
	{

		ymove = 0;
		xmove = 0;
		power = 5;
		gravity = 0.95;
		friction = 0.85;
		jumpForce = 5;
		jumping = false;
		
	}


onClipEvent (enterFrame)
	{

		
import com.gskinner.sprites.CollisionDetection;
if (CollisionDetection.checkForCollision(this,level,255))
			{	
				xmove = 0 / friction;
				ymove = 0 - gravity;
				
			}
		
		
		if (jumping)
			{	
				power = 1;
				ymove -= jumpForce;
				jumping = false;
			}
				
		if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))
			{
				xmove -= power;
			}
			
		if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))
			{
				xmove += power;
			}
			
		if (Key.isDown(Key.UP))
			{
				jumping = true;
			}
			
			
		
		xmove *= friction;
		ymove += gravity;
		_y += ymove;
		_x += xmove;

	}

edit admits: so far i have a character mc called ā€œplayerā€ and one called ā€œlevelā€.
i would apply the code to the player, and it would be cool to have the possibility to check collision of the player with multiple MCs, not only the level.

IĀ“d appreciate any kind of help concerning this problem.

Thx in advance and greets
