Actionscript 2 Bullets movieclip

Report · Dec 22, 2016

Hello,

I'm working on a zombie shooter game and I've got a problem.

I know it may sound stupid but every time I shoot, the most recent bullet disappears.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

my code is:

//VARIABLES

var playerSpeed:Number = 5;

var BulletArray = new Array();

_root.health = 10

//ATTACHING MOVIECLIPS TO THE SCREEN

attachMovie("player", "player", _root.getNextHighestDepth())

player._x = 275;

player._y = 200;

//PLAYER MOVEMENT

function onEnterFrame(){

ZombieAct();

ZIndex++

if(_root.health<0){

_root.gotoAndStop(1)

}

if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {

var playerSpeed:Number = 7;

}

else {

var playerSpeed:Number = 5;

}

if(Key.isDown(Key.UP) || Key.isDown(87)){

player._y -=playerSpeed;

player.gotoAndStop(2);

}else if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) || Key.isDown(83)){

player._y +=playerSpeed;

player.gotoAndStop(2);

}if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) || Key.isDown(68)){

player._x +=playerSpeed;

player.gotoAndStop(2);

}else if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) || Key.isDown(65)){

player._x -=playerSpeed;

player.gotoAndStop(2);

}

if (!Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) and (!Key.isDown(65) and (!Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) and (!Key.isDown(68) and(!Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) and (!Key.isDown(83) and (!Key.isDown(Key.UP) and (!Key.isDown(87))))))))) {

player.gotoAndStop(1);

}

//ROTATE THE player WITH THE MOUSE

player.onMouseMove = function(){

var x:Number = _xmouse-this._x;

var y:Number = _ymouse-this._y;

var angleRad:Number = Math.atan2(y, x);

var angleDeg:Number = angleRad/Math.PI*180;

this._rotation = angleDeg;

}

//SHOOT BULLETS FROM THE GUN

function ShootBullet(){

attachMovie("bullet", "Bullet", _root.getNextHighestDepth());

Bullet.push(Bullet);

Bullet._x = player._x;

Bullet._y = player._y;

Bullet._rotation = _root.player._rotation;

Bullet.onEnterFrame = function(){

Bullet._x += Math.cos(Bullet._rotation*(Math.PI/180))*25;

Bullet._y += Math.sin(Bullet._rotation*(Math.PI/180))*25;

}

//SHOOT BULLET WHEN CLICKING THE MOUSE

onMouseDown = function(){

ShootBullet();

}

//SET TIME FOR EACH ZOMBIE TO APPEAR ON STAGE

setInterval(CreateZombie, 2500);

//ZOMBIE VARIABLE

var Zombies:Array = new Array();

var ZbloodSpill:Number = 1;

var ZbloodArray = new Array();

var ZIndex:Number = 900;

//Maak Zombie

function CreateZombie() {

z = _root.attachMovie("Zombie", "Zombie"+ZIndex, ZIndex, _root.getNextHighestDepth());

z._x = Math.random()*600 +100;

z._y = Math.random()*600 +100;

z.Diffx;

z.Diffy;

z.Distance;

Zombies.push(z);

}

//MAKE THE ZOMBIE MOVE AND FOLLOW THE PLAYER

function ZombieAct() {

for (i=0; i<Zombies.length; i++) {

Zombies.Diffx = _root.player._x-Zombies._x;

Zombies.Diffy = _root.player._y-Zombies._y;

Zombies.Distance = Math.sqrt(Zombies.Diffx*Zombies.Diffx+Zombies.Diffy*Zombies.Diffy);

if (Zombies.Distance>5) {

Zombies._x += Math.cos(Math.atan2(Zombies.Diffy, Zombies.Diffx))*1.5;

Zombies._y += Math.sin(Math.atan2(Zombies.Diffy, Zombies.Diffx))*1.5;

Zombies._rotation = Math.atan2(Zombies.Diffy, Zombies.Diffx)/Math.PI*180;

//MAKING THE ZOMBIE DIE WHEN IT IS SHOT

}if(Zombies.hitTest(Bullet)){

removeMovieClip(Zombies);

removeMovieClip(Bullet);

//WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ZOMBIE TOUCHES PLAYER

}if(Zombies.hitTest(player)){

removeMovieClip(Bullet);

_root.health -=.1;

}

Thank you for your help.

1. make sure that code is on the _root timeline, or change _root.getNextHighestDepth() to thecurrenttimeline.getNextHighestDepth()

2. assign each bullet a different instance name. eg,

//SHOOT BULLETS FROM THE GUN
function ShootBullet(){
attachMovie("bullet" "Bullet"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
Bullet.push(Bullet);
Bullet._x = player._x;
Bullet._y = player._y;
Bullet._rotation = _root.player._rotation;
Bullet.onEnterFrame = function(){
Bullet._x += Math.cos(Bullet._rotation*(Math.PI/180))*25;
Bullet._y += Math.sin(Bullet._rotation*(Math.PI/180))*25;
}
}
//SHOOT BULLET WHEN CLICKING THE MOUSE
onMouseDown = function(){
ShootBullet();
}
