Forums → Programming Forum → i need some help

First, AS2 or AS3? Second, that's extremely basic, just make an onclick event and have the var equal the new speed. If your var was called speed, it will look like this

speed += (new speed);

In AS3 a simple key press function looks like this:

/*We gonna make a listener that checks
a event (in this case a keyboard event) to run a function*/

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,KeysDown);


//Now we gonna define the KeysDown function
function keysDown(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
//Check if the keyCode is pressed
if(e.keyCode=="keyCode number&quot{
speed="Your value";
}
//Optional, trace the keyCode of the key you press
trace(e.keyCode);
}

hey guys im using as2 and im newish to the whole concept of as i may be writing it wrong but it didn't work the instance name of my character is player and the speed line is...
var speed:Number = 10;
if u could type the code u think it may be plz do it would help tones thx again

bump

First off don't bump, bad manners and all. Second it would be easier to help if we could see more of the code you are trying to use.

var speed:Number = 10;

var speed:Number = 10;
onEnterFrame() {
this._x -= speed;
}

this is the code im using for my guy

onClipEvent (load) {
var grav:Number = 0;
// gravity
var speed:Number = 10;
// how fast you walk
var jumpHeight:Number = 15;
// how high you jump
var slow:Number = .7;
// sets water falling speed
var slowspd:Number = speed/1.5;
// sets water walking speed
var setspeed:Number = speed;
var scale:Number = _xscale;
var ex:Number = 5;
// makes hitTests better, change for a closer hitTest (warning, more buggy if smalle, less real if further)
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
grav++;
_y += grav;
while (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
_y--;
grav = 0;
}
if (_root.water.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {
if (grav>0) {
grav *= slow;
}
speed = slowspd;
} else {
speed = setspeed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_x += speed;
_xscale = scale;
if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true)) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= speed;
_xscale = -scale;
if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true)) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
} else {
if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true) && !Key.isDown(79) && !Key.isDown(73)) {
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && !Key.isDown(87) && !Key.isDown(65) && !Key.isDown(68) && !Key.isDown(73)) {
this.gotoAndStop(5);
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && !Key.isDown(87) && !Key.isDown(65) && !Key.isDown(68) && !Key.isDown(79)) {
this.gotoAndStop(4);
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) && _root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true)) {
grav = -jumpHeight;
_y -= 4;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x+(_width/2)+ex, _y-(_height/2), true) || _root.ground.hitTest(_x+(_width/2)+ex, _y-(_height/6), true) || _root.ground.hitTest(_x+(_width/2)+ex, _y-_height, true)) {
_x -= speed;
}
if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x-(_width/2)-ex, _y-(_height/2), true) || _root.ground.hitTest(_x-(_width/2)-ex, _y-(_height/6), true) || _root.ground.hitTest(_x-(_width/2)-ex, _y-_height, true)) {
_x += speed;
}
if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y-_height-15, true)) {
grav = 1;
}
}

hello everybody

@Trotiloff You shouldn't post in this forum if you're not asking a question or helping, Armorgames has a Newcomers forum.

@qaz34 Your question isn't every clear. Why do you want to change your player's speed? Do you want the player to run?
