How can I fix my walls in my maze game in Adobe Animate? Please help meee ;A;

[purowag]

This is the code that I've used. My issue is that, the character will stop in the near center of the screen without moving to the right, before touching the wall. the left and upper walls are fine, however. I need the character to have free movement other then wall colision. This is my final project for class and I'm ahead of scheduale because i want to laze around later.

My character is "mc_glo"

The wall is called "mc_wall1"

the collectables are "mc_scout1" and "mc_zombie1"

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkkeysdown);

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, checkkeysup);

var moveup:Boolean=false;

var movedown:Boolean=false;

var moveleft:Boolean=false;

var moveright:Boolean=false;

var speed:Number=10;

function checkkeysdown (mykey:KeyboardEvent) {

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.UP) {

  moveup=true;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN) {

  movedown=true;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT) {

  moveleft=true;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) {

  moveright=true;

  }

}

function checkkeysup(mykey:KeyboardEvent) {

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.UP) {

  moveup=false;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN) {

  movedown=false;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT) {

  moveleft=false;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) {

  moveright=false;

  }

}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameloop);

function gameloop(evt:Event) {

  if (moveup==true) {

  if (!mc_wall1.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.y-10,true)) {

  mc_glo.y-=speed;

  }

  }

  if (movedown==true) {

  if (!mc_wall1.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.y+10,true)) {

  mc_glo.y+=speed;

  }

  }

  if (moveleft==true) {

  if (!mc_wall1.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.x-10,true)) {

  mc_glo.x-=speed;

  }

  }

  if (moveright==true) {

  if (!mc_wall1.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.x+10,true)) {

  mc_glo.x+=speed;

  }

  }

  pickUp();

}

function pickUp(){

  if (mc_glo.hitTestObject(mc_scout1)){

  mc_scout1.x=1000;

  }

  if (mc_glo.hitTestObject(mc_zombie1)){

  mc_zombie1.x=1000;

  }

}

you have typos in

  if (moveleft==true) {

  if (!mc_wall1.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.x-10,true)) {

  mc_glo.x-=speed;

  }

  }

  if (moveright==true) {

  if (!mc_wall1.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.x+10,true)) {

  mc_glo.x+=speed;

  }

  }

that looks like it should be

  if (moveleft==true) {

  if (!mc_wall1.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x-10,mc_glo.y,true)) {

  mc_glo.x-=speed;

  }

  }

  if (moveright==true) {

  if (!mc_wall1.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x+10,mc_glo.y,true)) {

  mc_glo.x+=speed;

  }

  }

i have one last question actually, if you don't mind--I'm trying to create a "level 2" maze after the character "mc_glo" hits "mc_scout." I copied the previous code for the working maze and pasted it for a level 2 maze, but I'm stormed with numerous errors. I don't think this is the right way to code a second page. How would I properly go about coding a level 2 environment for a maze?

this is the fixed code i copied and pasted into the second level:

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkkeysdown);

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, checkkeysup);

var moveup:Boolean=false;

var movedown:Boolean=false;

var moveleft:Boolean=false;

var moveright:Boolean=false;

var speed:Number=5;

function checkkeysdown (mykey:KeyboardEvent) {

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.UP) {

  moveup=true;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN) {

  movedown=true;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT) {

  moveleft=true;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) {

  moveright=true;

  }

}

function checkkeysup(mykey:KeyboardEvent) {

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.UP) {

  moveup=false;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN) {

  movedown=false;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT) {

  moveleft=false;

  }

  if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) {

  moveright=false;

  }

}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameloop);

function gameloop(evt:Event) {

  if (moveup==true) {

  if (!mc_wall2.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.y-5,true)) {

  mc_glo.y-=speed;

  }

  }

  if (movedown==true) {

  if (!mc_wall2.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.y+50,true)) {

  mc_glo.y+=speed;

  }

  }

  if (moveleft==true) {

  if (!mc_wall2.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x-5,mc_glo.y,true)) {

  mc_glo.x-=speed;

  }

  }

  if (moveright==true) {

  if (!mc_wall2.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x+35,mc_glo.y,true)) {

  mc_glo.x+=speed;

  }

  }

  pickUp();

}

function pickUp(){

  if (mc_glo.hitTestObject(mc_scout1)){

  mc_scout1.x=1000;

  mc_scout1.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_16);

  gotoAndStop(105);

  }

  if (mc_glo.hitTestObject(mc_zombie2)){

  mc_zombie2.x=1000;

  mc_zombie2.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_16);

  gotoAndStop(82);

  }

}

Any input is appreciated.

don't copy any of that code.  just make the code for level1 more general so it can handle all your other levels.  eg,

leave the key listeners alone.

change your gameloop to use mc_wall instead of mc_wall1.

change pickUp to use mc_scout instead of mc_scout1

on the keyframe that displays your first level use,

var mc_wall:MovieClip =mc_wall1;

var mc_scout:MovieClip=mc_scout1;

on the keyframe that displays your 2nd level use,

mc_wall = mc_wall2;

mc_scout = mc_scout2

use an if-statement in pickUp to goto different keyframes for the 'next' level based on the value of mc_scout.

[purowag]

Okay. Thank you so much for helping me again btw. I'm going to try this out right now

[kglad]

you're welcome.

This is the code for level 1 of the maze, but now my character "mc_glo" doesn't move, so i can't go about testing it.

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkkeysdown);

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, checkkeysup);

//Recently added.

var mc_wall:MovieClip =mc_wall1;

var mc_scout:MovieClip =mc_scout1;

var moveup:Boolean=false;

var movedown:Boolean=false;

var moveleft:Boolean=false;

var moveright:Boolean=false;

var speed:Number=5;

function checkkeysdown (mykey:KeyboardEvent) {

    if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.UP) {

        moveup=true;

    }

        if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN) {

        movedown=true;

    }

        if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT) {

        moveleft=true;

    }

        if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) {

        moveright=true;

    }

}

function checkkeysup(mykey:KeyboardEvent) {

    if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.UP) {

        moveup=false;

    }

        if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN) {

        movedown=false;

    }

        if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT) {

        moveleft=false;

    }

        if (mykey.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT) {

        moveright=false;

    }

}

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, gameloop);

function gameloop(evt:Event) {

    if (moveup==true) {

        if (!mc_wall.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.y-5,true)) {

            mc_glo.y-=speed;

        }

    }

        if (movedown==true) {

            if (!mc_wall.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x,mc_glo.y+50,true)) {

                mc_glo.y+=speed;

            }

    }

        if (moveleft==true) {

            if (!mc_wall.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x-5,mc_glo.y,true)) {

                mc_glo.x-=speed;

            }

  }

        if (moveright==true) {

            if (!mc_wall.hitTestPoint(mc_glo.x+35,mc_glo.y,true)) {

                mc_glo.x+=speed;

            }

  }

    pickUp();

}

function pickUp(){

    if (mc_glo.hitTestObject(mc_scout)){

        mc_scout.x=1000;

        mc_scout.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_16);

    gotoAndStop(105);

    }

        if (mc_glo.hitTestObject(mc_zombie1)){

        mc_zombie1.x=1000;

        mc_zombie1.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_16);

    gotoAndStop(82);

    }

}

This is the code for the level 2. "btn_nav" is just the navigator button to this maze.

btn_nav.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_25);

function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_25(event:MouseEvent):void

{

    gotoAndStop(108);

}

mc_wall = mc_wall2;

mc_scout = mc_scout2

[kglad]

do you see an error?  eg, mc_wall2 and mc_scout2 aren't defined?

[purowag]

no error messages. I feel there should be.

[purowag]

i also named the second level wall "mc_wall2" and the second collectable "mc_scout2"

[kglad]

do they both exist on the frame that has gotoAndStop(108) or do they exist on frame 108?

[purowag]

The "gotoAndStop (108)" is on the second level and is actually frame 107.

[kglad]

so both mc_wall2 and mc_scout2 exist in the frame that contains

mc_wall = mc_wall2;

mc_scout = mc_scout2

if so, there won't be an error.

use the trace function and say your right arrow key to see if there's always a positive hittest with mc_wall1 when you start.

[purowag]

I'm still fairly new to coding lingo. What is "Trace function?" How do I ..?

Perhaps I over complicated my project. I'll just stick with what I have, and come back to this project another time. Again, thank you for time. My apologies for the very late reply.
