I'm back! :D

Okay, new slight problem.
When you complete a level, I'd like it to display how much I scored on the 'level completed' frame.
I have a dynamic textbox with the var of score, I dunno if that could aid anything.

Anyways, to the point, I am having it so that when the character hits something the lives go down by one (already sorted that).
The problem is that I would like it so that when the lives (dynamic text with a var of lives) reaches 0, it to go to a specific frame (in this case, 16).
Just wondering where to put the code, and what the code in question is

Thanks.

The best place to put it is in the same place where you reduce the lives so instead of just having:

lives--;

You have:

lives--;
if (lives < 1) {
    gotoAndPlay(16);
}

or

lives--;
if (lives < 1) {
    _root.gotoAndPlay(16);
}

If it's the main timeline you want to go to frame 16

YES! Thanks so much, I managed to get it working now
Though lives--; didn't do it, I had to make it _root.lives--;

See, I have more knowledge now, Gaz!
Thanks again, you will be credited for help.

Sorry for double post, but new problem is here. Look up top.

double posts are automatically merged

and when can we test out this game?

If the dynamic text box has the var of the score it should show it, you've already solved the problem

Now just put a static text box above it that says something like "Level completed! You scored:"

+ your level complete screen is complete!

Ah, true, very true. Never actually thought of that. Thanks again.

Next question!

My character has a lot of hittests to manage, as it's a navigate ballgame sort of thing. The trouble is, I have loads of code, just repeats changing the instance name.

Snippet:

if (_root.hit1.hitTest(_root.ball.ballHit)) {
        xspeed = 0;
        yspeed = 0;
        _x = 192;
        _y = 27;
        _root.score--;
        _root.lives--;
        if (_root.lives<1) {
            _root.fadeoutfail.gotoAndPlay(2);
            _root.ball.gotoAndPlay(2);
        }
    }
    if (_root.hit2.hitTest(_root.ball.ballHit)) {
        xspeed = 0;
        yspeed = 0;
        _x = 192;
        _y = 27;
        _root.score--;
        _root.lives--;
        if (_root.lives<1) {
            _root.fadeoutfail.gotoAndPlay(2);
            _root.ball.gotoAndPlay(2);
        }
    }

etcetera through all the ones, hit1, hit2 etc etc etc.

I was wondering if there is any way to merge hits, like so I could have something like:

(_root.hit2, hit3, hit4.hitTest(_root.ball.ballHit)) {

And so on, so I don't have humongous code.

Any way to sort this? Thanks.

Lol. i'm gone. a tad too complicated..

[NiallTL]

Then wasn't that post kinda useless then? :/

[nàme]

when will we be able to test!

[NiallTL]

I wanna get some of the key issues out of the way before you can test. You can test in a while.
