Hi Everybody, I’m making a racing game in flash using tiles to generate de map. You can see how it’s going here: [http://www.mrshp.hpg.ig.com.br/passo6.swf](http://www.mrshp.hpg.ig.com.br/passo6.swf) The graphic is just a sketch. My problem is: How can i make curves? I can’t figure out how to make some curves (can be 45° or 90° curves) and how to make the “others” cars (not controlled) follow the curves. Thanks ---

signifer123, Yes, a drag race could be easier but I have to make it based on tiles. lastchildz, Thanks for the links, I will dig them deeply! The TonyPa tutorial and the Outside Society, I’ve already seen to make the game. On the Outside Society has an example of a racing with curves, but it uses another tile map with angles, but I don’t know… I didn’t like that solution a lot… ---

> [@Akirasan](#): > > On the Outside Society has an example of a racing with curves, but it uses another tile map with angles, but I don’t know… I didn’t like that solution a lot… Hi Akirasan , Yep , True this exemple is not very convincing 🙂 For you problem , did you try to make the map coordinate to rotate instead of the car moving ? I don’t know how it work with Tiles but I tried with ArtBased Games and It did work pretty good … Well I do remember seeing some RPG tileGame doing this somewhere so I am sure You could do it . And then improve the physics so It will have the feel of car turning . And for the tile curve problem (I guess you gonna have some of this problems as curves made by square tiles are not that effiecient for a racing game 🙂 ) you should really look in this link from [[font=verdana,geneva,arial,helvetica][size=-2]METANET[/size][/font]](http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/tutorials/tutorialA.html) HOpe you get somewhere … ! ---

Sorry to post just links and not real help but well: I am not into tilebase for now ! here I found on Tonypa tuts : rotating tile MAP … should do it ?! [http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/tut21.html](http://www.tonypa.pri.ee/tbw/tut21.html) LAter . ---

> [@lastchildz](#): > > did you try to make the map coordinate to rotate instead of the car moving ? I don’t know how it work with Tiles but I tried with ArtBased Games and It did work pretty good … Hi Lastchildz, I guess rotating the map will not solve my problem, my big problem are the traffic cars. If I make some curves on the tiles, I will have to improve the AI of the traffic cars to follow the curves. To the player, doesn’t matter to rotate the car coordinates or the map coordinates ☹ > [@lastchildz](#): > > And for the tile curve problem (I guess you gonna have some of this problems as curves made by square tiles are not that effiecient for a racing game 🙂 ) you should really look in this link from [[font=verdana,geneva,arial,helvetica][size=-2]METANET[/size][/font]](http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/tutorials/tutorialA.html) Yes, thats something that I have to look. Thanks again > [@lastchildz](#): > > Sorry to post just links and not real help but well: I am not into tilebase for now ! Come on, you are helping me a lot! You may not be into tilebase for now, but your experience are very wellcome! 🙂 ---

Pathfinding could be the methode to use … for your “Ennemy” Car AI. I tried to create a path for an object following a direction with HitTest but the result is not too good but I am sure its possible to make it more acurate : look at this thread : [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64318](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64318)
