FLASH RPG PART 1 : How to make turn based battle

http://www.kongregate.com/games/chaos548/flash-rpg-tutorial-part-1-how-to-make-turn-based-battle

The reason i made this thread to answer your questions about my tutorial

on part 2 add health bars more than 1 attack and something to tell you how much health you just lost when you were attack, preferably with a negative number that starts at your health bar and floats off into nowhere, and by more than 1 attack i mean add a bag a run option that has a chance of failing attacks defend/block and skills/spells, all with a percentage of missing and whatnot

also make it so when your opponent hits 0 hp he doesnt get to attack you again, if i can get my sprites to move right ill need to add turned based battles in which your tutorial will help…but i got alot to do before then, which reminds me can you tell me how to make a random chance in a area to run into an opponent, like on pokemon .

good attempt, nowhere as clean as the shootorials though. But it gets the point across.

how do i open the flash i cant find it

i cant get the dynamic toolbox to show the hp any help? also i am using CS4

If you’re talking about dynamic text, first create a text box, select it, go to properties, and select dynamic text.

@omgbanana go to Press CTRL+F3 or go to Windows > Properties > Properties > Then Click Publish : Settings > Change Actionscript version to “Actionscript 2.0 or 1.0” :D then do everything again……bcoz my scripts are for actionscript 2.0 and 1.0 first click your dynamic box look for the " Var : |___________| " then put good on it and another one then for bad

Help how do i open the flash?

where did u saved it ? for E.G “C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Flash CS3”

if ur looking for ur installer maybe u should download it again and be sure to Click “Save” not “Open”. Try downloading a file if where it goes maybe that’s were u saved ur installer

I would have really loved this two years ago when I was trying to make an RPG. Unfortunately, today, I’m ditching AS2 forever and going with AS3 (as Adobe’s future momentum with it basically is forcing you to ditch the past).

Thats a good decision. Make everything in one frame in AS3 like I do.

Me and my animation team had created a flash animation about the turn-based battle… don’t know if I could make it real someday… like an actual flash game or something, and upload it in Kongregate…:

Just click PLAY to play the animation…

Yeah, I love how I don’t even need to manually use the canvas anymore. Last night, I made my first AS3 game test… pure AS3 with nothing manually placed on the canvas and no layers in the timeline. Just linked MC’s in the library and one blank frame. Plugged in the Kongregate API like it was nothing.

Love it.

:)
Yep, it’s how I usually say, I can’t make anything with flash, only AS3. And its enough.

you need to change

stop();
If (_root.good<=0) {
gotoAndStop("lose");
}
if (_root.bad<=0) {
gotoAndStop("win")
}

to:

stop();
if (_root.good<=0) {
gotoAndStop("lose");
}
if (_root.bad<=0) {
gotoAndStop("win")
}

Change the If to if or it doesnt work.

also i tried making it but after they’re health is down to 0, it doesn’t go to the win or lose frame.

thx..well be sure you labeled them..and also the check your variables too

It’s all right it works now.

can i get fla (flash) file as2 for this ( full file) credits will be given ;) my email is cojzek@hotmail.com ;)

can you give me the URL to the down load for the flash thin plz

thing*

Ok big noob question (just started flash games =P) but on the 2nd part (add good, bad MP those things) what do i add it as? Text, script what? Please help :S

Umm… When I win the battle, it goes to the enemy turn before the win frame. Did I do something wrong?
