I was just wondering how you could acheive a scrolling screen for a real-time stratgegy game that i have been working on lately. I would also want to know how to have characters create objects if certain variables are true… (objects on the map… structures)
hmmm, i was also wondering about creating a blast radius… (thanks for the aboe info!)
so make a mask kinda thing and use hitest
ohh ya if my current project really bombs could i help
hmmm hittest for a mask… (oooh, i can make a layered mask !)
Lol, i need all the help i can get really. I’m just doing this for a fun thing which i might put up on a site like newgrounds.com to see if anyone likes the idea. You’re free to help and you will be credited for it 
what kind of RTS is it and what do you want specifically and i’ll try some stuf ffor ya
starcraftesque… although i dont want blizzard knocking on my door so its going to need to be a whole new concept… I need to be able to build things, manage stockpiles of goods, and have things kill eachother… Unfortunately im using flash MX and i dont own photoshop, so graphics are going to be difficult…
any help with a graphical interface is always appreciated… If anyone wants to either commit themselves and join the project or just add a little bit of advice, it is always welcome as i am new to flash and this is my first game (working on the engine)…
awww CRAP! this whole engine thing is bugging me big time! Anyone know how to have a preloader as maybe a movie clip that i can call upon in my engine?
huh could you restate that from that i get you want a preloader to a movie
i want the preloader to PREload separate things as they are called upon…
Well sorry I don’t know about the preloader but i have a question for you. Could I “join the team?” I’m a new actionscripter and I need a teacher. If you decline than please atleast show me the script when you’re done. If anybody would like to share script that might help me out. I understand if you dont want to though. It is your work.
Sure, although i am new at actionscript myself… I will be making a project website soon, you could learn a lot of actionscript from the forum tutorials in the meanwhile… I might be able to give you the site .FLA’s after it is complete, if you wanted to examine the code… You are also welcome to help with the engine and graphics.
alrighty cool. well pm me when you wanna talk about it. ill give u my aim or msn if u need it.
alright… Havn;t been able to get much work done though… Also wondering about creating an arcade style game reminiscent of metal slug… HMMM
i think that i might actually be able to help a bit there, but i dont like metal slug. (if we are both talking of the same one) im talking about the one made on newgrounds.
no, not that hunk o junk… im talking like metal slug 3… I dont like the ww2 theme though
never played it
played age of empires saga and empire earth though
never played??? what? Metal slug isnt a RTS
ohhhhh, what is it
just got re-released for xbox too… Side-scroller
like mario or more like duke nukem
