Ugh mistake there :p on the last piece of code, add a ‘+’ before the = sign or it will screw up hard

Yeah that’s also pretty easy. Normally you would have something like this on your character:

if (this.hitTest(_root.wall)) {

now you need to put it on the wall. So it would be:

if (this.hitTest(_root.man)) {
moveSpeed = 0;
}

or something. If you are using pixels instead of a ’speed’ variable (which I don’t recommend as it takes longer to change everything) then you can do something like this on your movement script, assuming its on your man. Change it a bit if its on the background instead:

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && this.hitTest(_root.wall == false)) {
_root.background._x = 10;
}

Thanks SaroVati I figured out an easier way by making the size smaller and have the you move the background instead of the guy but in doing that I got a new problem involving the walls. The character stops but you can still move the background so if you have any idea how to stop it doing that, that would be cool

You can just do

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (_root.mc1.hitTest(_root.mc2)) {
_root.gotoAndStop(”framenumber”);
}
}

if you want an explanation or want the full tutorial, go to my website. Click on my name up there for a link, but I’m pretty sure Awesty has a tutorial like that somewhere on this website, so just search around.

Um you can’t really make the camera ‘zoom’ on the main character, unless you want to learn Advanced Actionscript. And by Advanced, I mean ADVANCED. You’ll need to know how to render bitmap images, advanced trigonometry, geometry stuff, etc. I would just make everything bigger instead of trying to zoom in. As your the camera staying on the main character, have the map move instead of the character. It will seem like the character is moving, but the map acctually is, and the main character will stay in the same spot.

Hey Awesty. These tutorials are great. I m new to flash and these have really helped and I was just wondering how to make it so the camera zooms in and stays on the main character cause mine are quite small and it would make things alot easier
