Hey guys so basically i want to create mulltiple levels and i set up the levels as shown below but for some reason the HittestObject for level_2 is not initiating. I cant pinpoint what i am doing wrong. Level 2 is initiated but when i try to hit thee obect it just goes right through.
i have a Goal_1 and a goal_2 that i want to hittes with the player.
i want to have multiple levels with the goal_1 and multiple levels with the goal_2 and so on
Here is the Code:
public class keepFocusEngine extends MovieClip

Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you.
Here is an example of how to set up your levels...
I would just add a switch statement in there to let the gameLoop know which level function to update every frame. The switch statement is like an if...if else conditional with less typing. The output of the switch statement is decided by the comparison of nLevel with the possible cases. So, when nLevel equals 1, the level_1() function is executed. By adding to nLevel we can then update level_2() and so on.
private function gameLoop(e:Event):void
{
playerShoot();
playerControl();
playerStageBoundaries();
checkEndGameCondition();
checkPlayerOffScreen();
switch(nLevel) {
case 1:
level_1();
break;
case 2:
level_2();
break;
}
}
This function is used to remove the repetetive code in your level functions, just call this function and it will reset player position and update the score and level.
private function startNextLevel():void
{
nScore += 10;
updateHighScore();
nLevel++;
updatePlayerLevel();
updatePlayerLives();
player.x = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - 280;
player.y = (stage.stageHeight / 2);
}
These are your level functions, instead of adding the player to the stage each level, just reuse the player and reset it's position.
private function level_1():void
{
if (player.hitTestObject(mGoal_1))
{
trace("Goal_1 Collision");
//Remove button for constant movement
btnShootPlayer = false;
mGoal_1.destroyGoal_1();
player.destroyPlayer();
startNextLevel();
}
else
{
checkEndGameCondition();
}
}
private function level_2():void
{
//Keep Text Scores initiated
if (player.hitTestObject(mGoal_2))
{
mGoal_2.destroyGoal_2();
player.destroyPlayer();
btnShootPlayer = false;
startNextLevel();
} else {
checkEndGameCondition();
}
}
