Re: FLASH: Reverse direction

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Thorvald,


I presume that you are running that script in a 2 (or more) frame loop

re-executing it every loop!


It looks like the MC stops because you are decreasing the x position at the

top of the script and then increasing it at the bottom when it makes the

collision, this way it will stay in the collision position.


Try the following:


Set Property ("", X Position) = GetProperty ( "", _x ) - xSpeed

Set Variable: "sbootX" = GetProperty("/sboot",_x)

Set Variable: "sbootY" = GetProperty("/sboot",_y)

Set Variable: "walX" = GetProperty("",_x)

Set Variable: "walY" = GetProperty("",_y)

If ((walX > (sbootX - 33)) and (walX < sbootX) and (walY > (sbootY - 13))

and

(walY < (sbootY + 13)) and (GetProperty ( "/sboot", _currentframe ) = 1))

   Set variable: "xSpeed"=xSpeed*-1

End If


What you want to do is turn the "xSpeed" into a neagtive value as "--xSpeed"

mean "+xSpeed". You might have to use another variable if you are using this

"xSpeed" for more than 1 MC.
