hey guys, i bet ya thinkin "not another post about slope detection!!! y dont u read the old threads!!! >:[ " right?
the reason i post this topic is that
1.i dont exactly wanna copy someone's code without understanding it.
2.plz keep it simple so newbies like me can understand =)
3.i hope someone can find time to help me with this coz i dont know wats Trigonometry (i dont think this is a reason...)
so plz help =D
p.s. im using AS2
If you actually want to understand your code and what you do you should first learn the basics and make some simple programs. Slope detection need some more advanced mathematics than you might be used to so I'd say you hold off on that for a while.
What do you need it for anyway?
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.
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?
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.
Closing this one?
