yeah. I found the shootorial layout template thing after I was like 95% done with this tutorial :/ what's not user-friendly about the layout? mebe I'll fix it.
@scoz: plenty of people still use AS2, for various reasons. It's not "dead" yet, and probably won't be for several years. In addition to that, it's easier to learn than AS3. I always recommend that newbies start with AS2, and then move to AS3, if they want.
@ Mato: "Truefire says: I'm probably gonna remove the laggy title screen. Tukkun says: No, lag doesn't matter, it's epic"... Blame Tukkun. But yeah, I'll probably remove it anyway.
AS2 is more newb-friendly (less strict), and, despite the fact that some (rich and/or pirate :P) coders think anything that's not the latest version should be erased from existence, many people still use AS2, for whatever reason.
I tried your code out wert, and it worked fine. Make sure the code is on the fire clip's first frame's actions panel. make sure you have an instance of that clip on the stage. also make sure your particle clip has something in it, and has Linkage set to "Particle"
Yeah, this tutorial uses the actions panel for code. It could be done in .as files with some minor adjustments, but I find the actions panel more convenient for small-scale things like this. I'll take a look at it and see if I made a mistake somewhere.
Update! Fixed the problems you pointed out marten, other than the source. I might do that within the next few days, but I'm kinda busy now. And sorry Tukkun, but I nerfed the Ninja XP you get from reading this tutorial by 40%. it was just way to overpowered.
Thanks for all the encouragement. Thanks for pointing those mistakes out marten, Expect them fixed when I get back in about 3-4 hours. Farmer, if you look up top, you'll notice I uploaded this to the "tutorials" section of Kongregate. Things posted here aren't supposed to be games.
lolz, Tukkun never said the green couns were useless, he just said that you don't fully understand them. And even if they are, maybe he wants us to have a head start collecting them.
mhm. Everyone's mad because they can't abuse the bonus bar any more, and because they have to click TWICE to get to a feature instead of once... Seriously? Does anyone here want a list of other games that are far more deserving of ragecomments?
