Under rating threshold (show) @SlayerOfPersians I almost had that problem... I accidentally put it in in a way that my second ship launching code was completely separate from the first, and was launching one each frame... I caught on when I was getting 61 enemies every two seconds instead of 1.

Under rating threshold (show) I don't know if anyone can help me out but, I'm getting this in my output "256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list. This is probably an infinite loop. Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie." I assume it's coming from the missile because it pops that up as soon as the missile hits an enemy ship.

Under rating threshold (show) If i am reading the first page correctly....... this should be the apex of the Tutorial process, i'm very happy to have made it this far, just 5 hours ago i would have looked at these codes and went "WTF!?!?!", thank you Kongregate for your easy tutorials and helping out us new people who want to take a hand at game developing.

Under rating threshold (show) step 9 causes a memory leak. each time we make the enemy array larger, the for loop that checks if your shots hit anything takes a little but larger. if you decided to expand the game with that code, you'll start to get massive slowdown as the array reaches the ten thousands or so. any chance someone reading this can help me write a splice function to keep the array size reasonable?

Under rating threshold (show) I have searched through my code a million times, and cant find any reason why my explosion animation loops constantly when I destroy an enemy. I even tried importing the kongregate explosion file + code, to no effect, so the problem obviously doesnt lie with explosion.as file. PLEASE help, its the only major problem Ive encountered so far and am unable to figure this one out on my own, ive been stuck on it for two days!

Under rating threshold (show) Everyone who can only shoot half their enemy ships, listen up: You're not putting all the enemy ships in the enemy array. Many of us weren't careful when we copied and pasted the Shootorial code into the onEnter function, so now we have two independent ship launching codes. Basically, if you forget to delete a certain bit of code, half of the new enemy ships are not pushed into the array and so aren't affected by missiles. To correct this, look at the source ship.as and compare it to your code under the onEnter function, specifically the part that reads "if (enemyTimer..." I deleted a line from my ship.as to match the source, and it works without a hitch now!

Under rating threshold (show) For all people who have problems with missiles that don't make enemie explode: after a week I finally solved it! You have to make sure that the name of your 'ship' is exactely filled in the codes, and it must be different from the class name. So I called it 'ShipInstance' and it only worked after I filled in this: for(var i in _root.ShipInstance.enemies) { if(this.hitTest( _root.ShipInstance.enemies[i] ) ) { this.removeMovieClip(); _root.ShipInstance.enemies[i].explode(); }

Aug. 10, 2011

Under rating threshold (show) @jumpking55, that's because we are trying to access to a variable array which if you remember we have it defined in the ship. it's very wise to store it there because always will be the ship instance before any missile or enemy, so we can assure that the array enemies exists. Notice that is like a path, you can say: "from the root timeline (the main one), look for the ship, then inside it, give me the array enemies". I hope this helped. :P

Under rating threshold (show) I don't know why the for..in loop is still not working for me... the instance's name is zhip, I added enemies.push(enemy); in the class Ship right after creating a new enemy (syntax test is ok). But in the Missile class on the very first line of the loop for(var i in _root.zhip.enemies) it founds and error, says class definition doesn't allow this declaration. Please help! =(

Under rating threshold (show) I need some help. When I added the Array, it doubled the number of enemies that spawned. I didn't worry about it at the time, but now I've added Hero Missiles and exactly half of the enemy ships can be destroyed by missiles; the other half just keep going. However, they can all be destroyed if I ram into them. The only thing I can think of would be that somehow the second half of the ships are not in the same array as the first. Please help.

Under rating threshold (show) Nevermind. Answer is yes. Kind of cheap that AS2 does that. I would expect more than a good old fashioned bounding box-style thing. Ah, well. It's still very useful.

Jul. 10, 2011

Under rating threshold (show) Does "hitTest()" return "True" if transparent bits from one png image hit transparent pixels on another? I mean, if the bounding boxes touch, but not their colored pixels. Does that make any sense?

Under rating threshold (show) @wowguy102 @Azer1652 Make sure the instance name of your hero ship is different than its class name, and make sure that the code if(this.hitTest(_root.ship)) instead of putting (_root.ship)), replace "ship" with the instance name (make sure casing is correct, too)
