Forums → Programming Forum → How to make a next level {AS2}

To make new rooms, just make several movieClips (1 for each room). Then when you touch a door, make the room you are in invisible and the one you are headed to visible. Colliding with a door:

if(this.hitTest(_root.door))
{
_root.room1._visible = false;
_root.room2._visible = true;
}

Doesn't Work... Actaully can someone just tell me how to make a frame, and how to make the frame diffrent from the previous one!?

new keyframe(not just frame) and do something different. delete the last one and draw something new???

Abnormalldiot

Thanks alot.
You've helped me too!
I thought you'd need to use keyframes and gotoandstop/play things xD!

replace room1 and 2 with the name of the movieClip right?

I have a lot easier one... doing the room visibility thing is nice but it takes a lot of work.....

MAKE SURE YOUR GUY IS ON ITS OWN LAYER


MAIN FRAME:

stop(); <- need this

if(yourguy.hitTest(_root.collisonitem))
{
gotoandplay (2);

yourguy._x = putNumberHere;
yourguy._y = putNumberHere;
}

now make a second frame:

goto actions of second frame and put this

stop();

and it should work

But wouldn't you need that code (or something similar to it) on every frame? Wouldn't it be simpler to do a simple hitTest on the actions of each door:

if(this.hitTest(_root.character))
{
_parent._visible = false;
_root.room2._visible = true;
}

You can pretty much copy and paste this for each door, but with making a different room visible. You might also need to add something like _x -= 300 (or whatever the width of your stage is) or something like it with y or adding instead of subtracting.

actually it wont matter but my dad is an expert programmer ad he said that is the best way

actually it wont matter but my dad is an expert programmer ad he said that is the best way

he programs in almost all languages VB, AS, c++, c#, C, lingo, java, and many others

My point is that you said your dad "is" an expert and "he" recommended some amateurish code over abnormalidiots code which was much better.

Thanks for all your help guys!!

Ummm... you guys give good advice and all but i have to admit that Alsage's way was a lot more simple and easier for an ametaur like me to understand.

I guess Alsage's dad IS an exspert programmer but gave Alsage an amatueur trick because Alsage is an amateur.

NOW ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO ASK ( I hope! )

How on earth do i make my character on his own Layer!? Because i tried Alsages trick, it was simple and all but it didn't work. i think the problem is that i didn't make my guy have his own Layer...


somone please answer i want to know all the code for this game so i can start making it!

Right click on the layers in the timeline and select "insert layer"

yep what abnormall said

right click the object, and select 'distribute to layers'

That separates the movieclip into several layers inside it. Right click on the main timeline (where it says layer 1 or whatever you named it) then click insert layer
