mr kglad here i am again, collision and mousemove

[cbunbury20]

I i try implementing the chiken invaders GUI in my little crappy game, and all went well spachip moves fine, shoots, and kills spaships, but unlike with buttons control, now the hitTest wont execute, unless i clic on the bad spaceship, i try puting it in its own event, switch it to the move event, on top or down of the mousemove code, but execution is the same, if i hover player, over enemy1 nothing happens, unlest i clic on it and then the alert works 😞

this.on("tick", moverPlayerMou.bind(this));
function moverPlayerMou(evt) {
var pt = this.enemy1.hit.localToLocal(this.enemy1.hit.dot1.x,
this.enemy1.hit.dot1.y, this.player.box);
if (this.player.box.hitTest(pt.x, pt.y)) {
alert("collision")
this.player.x = -1000
deadenemies++
}
this.player.x = stage.mouseX;
this.player.y = stage.mouseY;
}

pt looks suspect.  use console.log to see if you're getting what you expect from localToLocal

[cbunbury20]

but, the alert, does execute, i am trying to simplify the path like 

this.on("tick", moverPlayerMou.bind(this));
function moverPlayerMou(evt) {
var pt = this.enemy1.localToLocal(this.enemy1.x,
this.enemy1.y, this.player.box);
if (this.player.box.hitTest(pt.x, pt.y)) {
alert("collision")
this.player.x = -1000
deadenemies++

}
this.player.x = stage.mouseX;
this.player.y = stage.mouseY;
}

but like this the alert wont work, gonna check the console, why is flash always like this!? 

tyvm legendary master flasher!!

use:

this.on("tick", moverPlayerMou.bind(this));
function moverPlayerMou(evt) {
var pt = this.enemy1.localToLocal(this.enemy1.x,
this.enemy1.y, this.player.box);

console.log(pt.x,pt.y);  // and you might want this.enemy1 and this.player.box info
if (this.player.box.hitTest(pt.x, pt.y)) {
alert("collision")
this.player.x = -1000
deadenemies++

}
this.player.x = stage.mouseX;
this.player.y = stage.mouseY;
}

Thank you Master Mister, always a pleasure learning from you, tyvm!

[kglad]

you're welcome.

p.s. did you solve the problem?

[cbunbury20]

yea but my problem its to always ask too much from flash, collision executes sometimes, sloppy, and then since the mouse move its active the ship wont go off screen, i try to limit movement with if alive move, but it would freeze, it so i would just go back to good button controls and forget about chiken invaders interface, i am thinking on getting on that godot, they have a lot goin. thanks bro, yes the console show the pt fine, thanks again bud i am cbunbury20 on twitter

I love flash as you know and been very loyal, but i havc also try other Devs and the collisions are 10 times simple, the EaseJS tutorial of the hitTest its so raquitic and outdated, i could not get it done untill i found one of some latin american guy, I cant believe adobe wont provide a dedicated tutorial just about these, a mario stomping on a koopa, with fla, and, all like in the flashkit, times 😞

i'm not sure what you were/are doing that was so difficult, but this is the basic hittest:

createjs.Ticker.on("tick", tick.bind(this));

function tick(event) {
this.arm.rotation += 3;

this.target.alpha = 0.2;
var pt = this.arm.localToLocal(100, 0, this.target);
if (this.target.hitTest(pt.x, pt.y)) {
this.target.alpha = 1;
}

stage.update(event);
}

but apes like myself have a hard time scalling things, like i would need a more rock paper scisers, like this is how you kill a spaship, and one .fla, this is how you plataformer jump , i understand more watching things happening, than figure out algorytims, but always huge thanks budd your the best

[kglad]

that would take more than a few minutes so is beyond what i would do for free.  if you want to hire me to do that, send me a private message.

if you try yourself and encounter problems, you can probably be helped for free via these forums.

ill thank you a lot, the problem its i do this for hobbie, like DIY, is the last thing i want putting you to work, but in the flashkit times, even flashers.com you could find tutorials for stuff like this for everything, being flash, what was for newsgrounds, its like adobe itself should cover all this, but i just dont understand where are thos tutorials i cant believe that a latin american guy is the only one who did a clear one sort of:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou8jhzXqoIk&t=569s i am shure an American or Russian or Hindu has done a better than this one, i have a long track of doing games with flash, but have fell in a spiderweb with this new hitTest for html5, but you allreaddy help me a lot Kglad, lots of thanks and thank again, man, but if not ill be usefull to some here, i just lived with the notion that flash was the easiest thing to make videogames, but if it is not anymore i guess i am gonnan have to see, 

tyvm
