Forums → Programming Forum → How to make a flash shooter.

There are so many types of shooters (side scroller, first person, third person, ect) and you didn't specify which one. Also, no one is going to script the actual game for you but if you tell me what your looking for I'll tell you the concept behind what you are trying.

I want to make a side scroller flash shooter.

You'll want to create your ship as a Movie Clip and configure it so that it moves up and down.

Normally, even if it looks like the ship is flying through an astroid belt or something, the ship is actually still and the astroids move towards it.

You'll probably need to find a tutorial though. I can write a short thingy up if you like.

It would be nice if you made a short tutorial for me. I just don't really understand ActionScript. I don't know what to put where. So, It would be really nice if you made a tutorial for me.

You know , youtube and google have lots of tutorials on shooters , go search some!

Giving you code doesn't help the person writing the code, or you. You learn nothing out of taking someone's code, and the person writing the code wastes his time writing code for nobody's benefit.

OK, this is what you'll want to do. It seems like you're new to Flash, so it's a good idea to start with this tutorial

It's very easy to pick up and follow, and by the end of it, you'll know enough to make a side-scrolling shooter without a tutorial.

True, he must learn the basics from somewhere so he can make the codes by himself.

I want to make a flash shooter, but I don't know how to use flash very well. I mostly just need scripting help.

If your new to Flash don't try a sidecrolling shooter. It's fairly advanced stuff, want my advice? Go with a simple platformer now, work your way up, in a year or two you will be able to make a good sidecrolling shooter
