Ideas for jumping in 2D with Actionscript 3 [included attempt]
- by befall
So, I'm working on the basics of Actionscript 3; making games and such.
I designed a little space where everything is based on location of boundaries, using pixel-by-pixel movement, etc.
So far, my guy can push a box around, and stops when running into the border, or when try to the push the box when it's against the border.
So, next, I wanted to make it so when I bumped into the other box, it shot forward; a small jump sideways.
I attempted to use this (foolishly) at first:
// When right and left borders collide.
if( (box1.x + box1.width/2) == (box2.x - box2.width/2) ) {
// Nine times through
for (var a:int = 1; a < 10; a++) {
// Adds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
if (a <= 5) {
box2.x += a; }
else {
box2.x += a - (a - 5)*2 } } }
Though, using this in the function I had for the movement (constantly checking for keys up, etc) does this all at once.
Where should I start going about a frame-by-frame movement like that? Further more, it's not actually frames in the scene, just in the movement.
This is a massive pile of garbage, I apologize, but any help would be appreciated.
