i am trying to develop this type of game so i dont want
to write hitTest on every clips , is ther any other logic which can help to connect the pipes and change their color when they are connected with each other , pipes can be randomly placed within tiles…any help
i’d say use an array
for eg;
var pipes:Array = [
[0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1],
[0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1],
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]
];
Where the value 1 will represent a block of pipe; then check if there’s a value of 1 before or after, or in the corresponding items in the previous or following arrays.
Hittest? I wouldn’t have even thought of using hittest for this, so I really don’t grok how you’re approaching this.
I would have a square array of pipes, but not just numbers like nathan did. I would make a pipe class, with a rotate method, and four methods that return values for top, bottom, right, left. And also a change colour method, which is passed a direction and a colour value. If it is open in that direction and it is not already that colour, it changes colour and calls the change colour method on all tiles it is connected to.
O I didn’t look at the link - so it’s different to what I originally thought - If I get time I’ll make a demo

can you show me the demo …

but i want to rotate the pipe when user click on that, 1 shows the existence of pipe now how to rotate with diff shapes…
here is my fla
i got the solutions .
That’s a pretty cool monologue you have there.
I think you should post the “solutions” you have for people that might find this topic in a search, looking for the same problem.
rahul_7star is there any chance you could post your file in flash 8
thanks

That’s if you are only talking about binary array… You can use rest of whatever is flash’s integer values.
Considering the pipes rotate in one direction, this is very easy.
You can say,
0 = empty space
1 = horizontal pipe
10 = elbow pipe
20 = cross pipe
then,
2 = horizontal pipe in vertical position
11 = elbow pipe from top to left
12 = elbow pipe from left to down
13 = elbow pipe from down to right
14 = elbow pipe from right to top
and you can even make use of other numbers…
111 = elbow pipe from top to left in blue color
211 = elbow pipe from top to left in yellow colour.
… so in the end, it’s all how you set the convention.
When you are checking if a path exist, you just have to check if one of the gas outlet is linked with, say, any pipe line with values greater than 100 or 200…etc.
So to use the array example above, following will be a winning combo
pipes:Array = [
[101, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 201],
[ 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 201],
[ 0, 0, 113, 101, 101, 101, 101, 101, 201],
[101, 101, 111, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 201],
[ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 201],
[ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 201]
];

Thanks for this reply , but its ok that you can place pipe of any size either “L” shape or “U"shape , but the problem is that whenevr you click on 'U” shape U should move and should not call “L” shape, here is my fla …chk it.
whenver you click on “I” shape “I” should move in corresponding direction and it should not call U shape …

Yes, I have been thinking in copyPixel too much lately… haha.
plz see my Fla , i need help ,[quote=misterooga;2333734]Yes, I have been thinking in copyPixel too much lately… haha.[/quote]
i like the game and have had a go … gone in a completely different direction … i don’t think it is the right direction

if you look at the attach file
a pipe will change colour if it connects to the one on the left but not dependent on touching one on the left or right
to check right is roughly the asme code but target is +1, to check up is target -10, to below is target +10
i might do more at a later date …if i feel i am going in the right direction
