Hi everyone, I’m making a little side scrolling platform game in which an enemy chases you if you run out of time. I’m using a simple function “walkTo” on the enemy:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.walkTo(_root.spritemain._x, _root.spritemain._y);
}
and pretty straight forward script:
stop();
function walkTo(X, Y) {
var speed = .75;
// Y-Axis movement
if (this._y<(Y-20)) {
this._y += speed;
}
else if (this._y>(Y+20)) {
this._y -= speed;
}
// X-Axis Movement
if (this._x<(X-40)) {
this._x += speed;
this._xscale = -100;
}
else if (this._x>(X+40)) {
this._x -= speed;
this._xscale = 100;
}
}
This would work fine EXCEPT: I forgot that my sprite doesnt actually move, the ground moves left and right and the sprite runs in place. It only moves when it jumps, so the Y-Axis movement for the enemy works fine, but the X doesnt.
My brain really isnt agile enough to wrap my brain around this one… HELP??? PLEASE???
