That blue box looks fine to me. If it gets any larger than it should, though, it means you've drawn something really small and out of sight on the same layer and it's getting converted along with the wall. Try just selecting that line before converting, and not the whole layer.

The thing is my character doesn't even need to touch the wall to lose, all he needs to do is touch the blue box, how do i fix this.

Unfortunatly that is nto something I can help with, I do flash animation, not games sorry.

I assume you're using a basic hit test and are therefor are checking against the bounding boxes. What you need to do is use a point hitest with shapeflagging and test the xy coords with the wall.

Could you point me to a tutorial for that?

Can someone please show me where I could find a tutorial for that? Thanks.

Joey just explained it in this other thread

Oh dam, I forgot to tell you guys, I only use AS 2.0, in that other thread its AS 3.0.

Otherwise you could try creating several "segments" of wall, instead of one big curvy line. That way it will run faster by using bounding box hit testing.

It might even look smoother.

What is the hitTest code you are using right now? I imagine you would be looking to do something like this:

if (Wall.hitTest(player._x, player._y, true){
trace("hit"
}

Is this AS 2 LonLonRanch? If so, the "true" is for shape instead of the bounding box?

Hey all,

Sorry I haven't replied, I've been busy with school stuff. Anyway here is the code I'm using, no errors are coming up but it just isn't working.


Player.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Wall.hitTest(Player._x, Player._y, true)) {

I have no idea why it Isn't working, please help me.

Never mind everybody, I got it working, I just didn't have the right instance name on my wall, i can't believe I've wasted so much time because of that, anyway thank you all again for your help.

blue box means its grouped, Crtl+B to break

Glad you got it working. I've had that same error quite a few times, where you waste many hours trying to fix a bug, while the error is somewhere else... mindbreaking O_o
