car game

Can anyone help?

I want to make a car game similar to micro machines, i can rotate an object but for the life of me i cant get it to move in the direction its facing......

this may help?

not what im after but thanks,

what i need is for the car to move using the arrow keys, like the asteriods game but obviously not sliding all over the place.

See if this is what you want.

Hi all.

That´s a real cool&funny game!

Is there anybody out there who would be interested to improve it?
I think it could be nice to add a bit more detail to the world (houses, trees, etc...) and more realistic physics (+ displaying carspeed, adding collisiondetection + a counter and time)

But I´ve also a few general questions:

depending on the speed and the angle the car hits an obstacle, it sometimes gets stuck and can´t be freed! why does this happen and how can this be prevented?

Are there limitations in the worldsize given by the flash-format? ( I stretched the world and there were kind of artefacts at the borders)

will there be limitations in framerate (the more objects there are, the choppier the graphics get)?

is it possible to pass different values for hittests in the world? (e.g. bumping a car =-2 points, smashing a passing cat =-20 points

Regards to all the funloving swishers outside

PS: I added some details to the world (even other cars to chase ) but can´t post the swi (I guess because it´s my first post to this forum )
Can someone tell me after how many post I can send attachments (or maybe I can send it to someone who´s interested and he/she can post it...)

Hello and welcome to Swishtalk

You seem like the perfect person to add more detail to the game... I nominate you .

I'm outta time to check into your problem but as far as attaching files to your posts... you can definitely do this on your first post as there are no limits... the reason why you can't is because of the forum it's in. If this was in a help forum, you'd be able to post files. Two ways of achieving this for you... post your own thread in one of the Help Desk forums (ie General or Swishscript) or upload the file to your own webserver and then post the link to it here in this thread.

Hope this helps,
Chris

ok, I´ll post a new thread in the scriptingsection.

(but still don´t understand why Hoosier_Daddy could attach a file, and not me )

First of all I know very little about script. That file was created after finding script online somewhere and modifying it (very little modifying as I recall) In order for me to help you would require the same amount of effort or more than you are applying as I would have to go back into it and study the logic again and try to get my head around the script that someone else wrote and Im just not into that. Trust me, I have tried to further progress on that game. I actually have at least 10 working mods of that file on my HD one where a misscle chases you as you drive These files also required me to find someone else's script or request assistance from friends and add/modify it. Also, there are countless people on this site who are capable of answering your questions far better than me.

Hope someone comes along and assists you. Will be nice to see you further this game along.
