i think it would have made more sense to keep all this together, but oh well.

Sorry for the wait! The tutorial has been posted though!

Wut? Where did you post it?

why couldn't you put the pics in?
did you forget that we no longer need the quote marks?

I had 2 visuals to use but for some reason they would not work. The zip file contains the 2 visuals though

That's a good visual, too bad TheFox didn't use that in his tutorial.

i don't know flash but i do know a fair amount about slop detection, so i made this pic and explanation. i am not sure that it is all right as i have never tried programing something like this (other then on paper). also the math at the end may not be right as i haven't don't stuff like that in about a year.

first make two points (point 1 and 2) keep them the same distance all the time.
then make each one have it's own gravity pulling it down. this should get you
a stick that falls down, so you also need to make each one not fall though the ground.
now you chould have a stick that acts like a really stick.

next we are going to find A and B. the way to do this is to subtract one of the y values
from the other y value (do the same with the x values). now divied B by A (so B/A)
and you will get a decimal. lets call it D

now that decimal will need to be converted in to a degree
(we are going to call the degree R) before we can use it.
so lets do that, set up something that looks like this

D/1 = R/90

now R will be a number between 0 and 90. just rotate yoour player by R degrees and you
should be good. oh and make sure to place his feet at the mid point of line C.

Thefox tends to disappear and reappear a lot, so don't hold your breath.

That would be nice if you could. I know there are barely any good explanations of it on the internet, except for this forum.

Maybe sometime this week or next I'll sit down and make an intro to slope detection Tutorial, since I haven't seen many myself.

Slope detection is tough, but to get the basics its not too hard...Although you do have to know a little trig.
I have a semi-working model right now(that can do >90 degrees). Basically what you do is move your character, and make two points on either side of him always stay a certain distance away. Then, depending on whether those points hit the ground or not, you rotate your character. I know that might not make a lot of sense right now, but you kind of get the gist?

Yeah i'd suggest the same thing. Just keep sticking with it and it will most definitely pay off.

That being said, I have to agree there aren't really any tutorials on basic slope detection that really explain what you're doing and why it works.

-_- k then, will start from basic...

Basically what he said.

Seeing as you just learned about how to use hitTest, I would say you have a ways to go before you can get to something really advanced like slope detection. Even I don't understand it, and I've done some pretty complex other stuff in Flash.
