Make a Flash game like Flash Element Tower Defense – Part 1
November 11th update: part 2 released
One of the most popular Flash games around the web during last months was a game (with some variants) called Flash Element TD, “a Macromedia Flash based Warcraft TD game inspired by Element TD for WarcraftIII”, as says its author, David Scott.
The game concept is simple: there is a road, and some minions walking that road. You have to kill all minions before they reach the end of the road. You can build several facilities to kill minions and earn money to upgrade weapons as the minions get stronger and faster.
In this first part of the tutorial, I’ll cover the minion walking.
It’s a very complex task, that will require almost 30 lines!
Let’s start showing the objects required to make it work
minion: it’s the evil enemy to kill. I think a blue triangle should look evil enough.
path: it’s the background where the game will take place
Now, a few words about how to develop the concept: in this game there is not enemy artificial intelligence. Enemies walk along a path until they die. This simplifies a lot our work, because the only thing we need to do is to create a list of waypoints defining the path. When an enemy reaches a waypoint, I’ll make it reach another waypoint.
Let’s see the actionscript, all in the first (and only) frame of the main (and only) scene.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 | attachMovie("path","path",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
waypoint_x = new Array(40, 140, 140, 220, 220, 80, 80, 340, 340, 420, 420);
waypoint_y = new Array(140, 140, 60, 60, 240, 240, 320, 320, 100, 100, -20);
delay = 25;
new_monster = 0;
monsters_placed = 0;
onEnterFrame = function () {
if (monsters_placed<25) {
new_monster++;
}
if (new_monster == delay) {
monsters_placed++;
new_monster = 0;
min = attachMovie("minion", "minion"+_root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:40, _y:-20});
min.point_to_reach = 0;
min.speed = 1;
min.onEnterFrame = function() {
dist_x = waypoint_x[this.point_to_reach]-this._x;
dist_y = waypoint_y[this.point_to_reach]-this._y;
if ((Math.abs(dist_x)+Math.abs(dist_y))<1) {
this.point_to_reach++;
}
angle = Math.atan2(dist_y, dist_x);
this._x = this._x+this.speed*Math.cos(angle);
this._y = this._y+this.speed*Math.sin(angle);
this._rotation = angle/Math.PI*180-90
};
}
}; |
Line 1: Attaching the path object on the scene
Line 2: Defining an array containing all horizontal coordinates of the waypoints
Line 3: Same thing for the vertical coordinates. Now waypoints are defined, so the minions will walk until (40,140), then until (140,140), then (140,60) and so on.
Line 4: Setting the delay, in frames, between the creation of the xth enemy and the creation of the (x+1)th enemy.
Line 5: A flag variable counting how many frames passed from the creation of the last enemy
Line 6: Variable telling me how many enemies I have placed so far
Line 7: Beginning of the main function, to be executed at every frame
Line 8: Checking if I haven’t already placed all 25 monsters I want to place
Line 9: If not, increase the variable counting how many frames passed from the creation of the last monster
Line 11: If the number of frames passed from the creation of the last monster is equal to the number of frames I want to pass after the last monster creation…
Line 12: Increasing the variable counting how many monster I placed. I am about to place a new monster!
Line 13: Setting the variable counting how many frames passed from the creation of the last enemy to zero
Line 14: Attaching the monster movieclip outside the screen, because I want it to enter “from above”, and assigning this object to a variable called min (from “minion”)
Line 15: Assigning to the minion (I started with “enemy”, then “monster”, now “minion”… someone should strike for blue triangles rights!) a variable with the number of the next waypoint to reach: zero, because the first element in an array is indexed with zero.
Line 16: Assigning to the minion a variable with its speed. This will become handy in future, when minions will change waling speed during the game
Line 17: Function to be executed at every frame for the minion
Line 18: Calculating the x distance from the current minion position and the next waypoint
Line 19: Same thing for the y distance
Line 20: Checking if the sum of both distances is less than 1 (approx: did the minion reach the waypoint?)
Line 21: If true, then increase the waypoint flag to make the minion move to the next waypoint
Line 23: Determining the angle of the minion according to its direction using trigonometry. If you have troubles with trigonometry, I recommend you to read this tutorial
Line 24: Updating minion’s x position according to its direction and speed
Line 25: Same thing for its y position
Line 26: Rotating the minion facing the direction it’s walking.
And that’s it. The first part is over. You may need to reload the page to see the movie working.

Wow,
I’ve been visiting your blog for quite some time now….I’ve Learnt so much from you. Its been some time since i wanted to make a flash version of my fav game(DotA). N i’ve been trying to find a good path findin AI ideas for it,as flash is not very good at handling complex algorithms.And As usual u again have given me a new idea to play around with. Keep up the good work.

Good as usual, emanuele. Keep it up.

great tutorial thanks

nice one, i edited the MC and added a few frames to it so that the MC changes whilst it moves

Hi Emanuele.
I’m one of those who check your site several times per week, searching for new fantastic tutorials.
I have one suggestion that would make this game-tutorial REALLY great: Make it OOP. This game is a incredibly suitable game for Object oriented programming, and I think you could add a entirely other dimension to the tutorial if you followed this tip.
Kindly,
Samuel

Hey, i set the min.speed to 5 and I had some problems where the minions jumped around in one spot.

Can’t wait for part 2. I’ve been wanting to create a game like this for awhile and have just started working on it. GLad i stumbled across your blog.

yogibali
wow.. that was amazing script…
Can U make those script more great, by adding the AI script to generate an array of waypoint. :)
thx alot 4 the tutorial…
zack
This is a great tutorial, but I’m having a problem. If my path is not the same as the given one, how do i find out the coordinates of a selected area?
Emanuele Feronato
You can find it through mouse coordinates.
In your main function write
trace(_root._xmouse+” “+_root._ymouse)
then move the mouse and copy coords
zack
Oh.. Thanks a lot, I’m kind of new to flash.
zack
wait.. sorry for double posting but, I’m not sure where to put that code (I’m using Flash Pro 8)?
-
Hey zack, i did simpler to get coords i think, i just use the window->info panel (or CTRL+I) and while having the focus on the actions window, i move the mouse around the waypoints.
One little bug is commented by Joshua threlfall, if u make the speed greater than 1 u will get in troubles, this is because….well i dont knowhow to explain i expect that only telling the patch u can understand why doesnt works in that manner
Just put this in line 20:
if((Math.abs(dist_x)+Math.abs(dist_y))Its a simple matter of gap jumping, u know.
Oh zack, u must put this code in the first frame of a new layer(created by ur own) called actions by example, selecting the first frame and then open the actions window, paste inside it, be sure of the lower title name is actions:1
Sorry for my terrible english.
Congrats by the tut. :D
-
sorry, the line was incorrect, it was cutted in an amazing manner i dont know, the correct is(line 20):
if((Math.abs(dist_x)+Math.abs(dist_y))
-
urmphh?? sorry again but the post doesnt works well and cut the essential part so i look like a mad….
The patch is simply reemplace the “if(…
-
hahaha this seems a joke, all time cutting my posts i dont know why. The patch. reemplace in line 20 “if(…<1)” by “if(…<this.speed)
Reasons r more or less explained 3 posts before
Sorry for spaming, the problem was the “<” what is an html reserved char and u must write “ampersand + lt”, and first i was disoriented
I apologize for the inconveniences, sorry for my stupidity xDD
-
error again, i dimiss

Last chance, i swear xD
Line 20:
if((Math.abs(dist_x)+Math.abs(dist_y))< this.speed) {

Whenever I put the code in the main frame for the if satement to dry to generate a new enemy….My editor just crashes, so I can never get it to run. Any suggestions?

I really need help. I just started using this program and found tower defence games very fun. I don’t get how to get to the action script and i don’t get the commands. Do you have to have the items selected before you do those actions? i’mma noob at this ugh… x(

mr i dont get it :[
wow, thats alot of action scripting, i never thought it would be that hard :[ i couldnt even figure out how you got the arow symbol and the background to show up with linkage export path or whatever :S
Luki
Cool! Will be part 3? With rotating base, and rotating bullets, and attaching new towers? It`s important … :/
greetings
Stephanie
I’m having some issues with the tutorial. For some reason the minion shows up on the screen and looks like its about to follow the path but as soon as the minion hits the background, it just restarts. Please help me
Stephanie
I think its something about the delay
Stephanie
actually when i put the new_monster = 0; in comment
if (new_monster == delay) {
monsters_placed++;
//new_monster = 0;
it works but theres only one minion that shows up. Any ideas???
Meepo
Augh, im uber-new to flash. I tried to follow this tutorial but when i test movie, all these errors come up. I think its because of the actionscript. What am i supposed to do with it?
ben
i need help, i cant seem to get the actionscript going. ive done everything it says, but nothin happens when i test it. Can anyone help me?
A
This works great except for the fact that when I run it nothing happens at all.

when i play i get no syntax error message but the minion just stays in one place
greg
nvm, is has to do with linkage
however, as soon as i got it running, it only spawned one minion,
what is happening?
pissed off guy
look this tut sucks it’s too hard to get. I’ve made every single thing but it doens’t work. Stop making these tuts you’re a horrible explainer
TheInfinity
nothings moving -.- and Flash Pro 8
RJ
You need Flash CS3 to open the .fla’s given by Emanuele, but anyway, you can copy and paste the actionscript. Don’t forget to create the minion and path movieclips and to link them
TheInfinity
link them???….MAN i’m an uber noob!
SilverSabre
ya im in a simular situation, i made both movie clips and copied the script above but i dont understand linking
TheInfinity
ok i got it to work. my “minions” are moving. but when i try to make them faster, they kinda stop at certain points. and stall there for…ever…. -.-
TheInfinity
I solved what recently just posted from an earlier post but i have another question. When i test movie in the flash, it’s alright. It works they’re all moving. But when i try the .swf the minions disappear after a certain point on the path (depending on speed) Any ideas?
yikes
it macromeadia flsh pro 8 im pretty sure :D
With Stephany
I’m having the same problem as stephany. I just copied the code after making my map and linking the stuff and everything, but whenever a new guy respawns, he moves a bit then just restarts. Any help?
anoyed
Yeah, im getting a similar problem… every time I change the speed to 2 or something, they all get stuck when they turn a corner. Any ideas?
stupid
Nothing is working at all! Help! The minions don’t even appear on screen!
nicp
Somethings wrong…im using Flash MX and everything seems to work fine but my coords are all messed up…i put in my own…but they jump around the screen in the begining and they exaggerate the other waypoints…any help?

jon sploder
Wow, I never knew flash was pretty much EXACTLY the same as GML :D. Good thing I am fluent, world look out here I come :D. Fantasic tut mate, keep it up!
vub0
i am a beginner and i think u need to explain in more detail b cause i dont understand
z3n
this tutorial will do little for a beginner. I took a look at it and tried out some of the code, and I have since had to rewrite and replace almost all of it. It is good for hints how to solve some problems, but the code itself is not well suited for a full featured game.
Example: the use of clipExample.onEnterFrame = function is a bad tree to bark up. The variables that are loaded local to those clips do not update, such as array lengths. So, when that clip loops through arrays (each frame) it is using the length property it got when the clip was loaded.
niki
what is the nme of the program u use?
Chris
What IS the program you used???
Chris
What IS the program you used???
Chris
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE tell me where to download it!!!!!!!!!
Alan
Please, start from the beginning. What program do you use. Send me every step, please
D
It’s flash (CS3 being the latest version, this is actionscript 2 though).. You can download a trial at adobe.com. I would’nt reccommend starting with this tutorial though, it’s not for absolute beginners.
Linkage:
Right-click your symbol and choose linkage. Then check “export for actionscript”.
The “jumping” minion problem is caused by where you’ve set the registry point. It has to be exactly in the middle of you little dude.

To most, this tutorial would seem daunting yet they don’t know what A LOT of coding is…30 lines is beginning stuff. If they want to know hard flash coding then they should take a look at some of my games I’ve created (spaceInvaders, recreation of bloons tower defense, etc) that takes up about 8-15 external action scripts worth of code
but the tutorial was pretty good…i needed some ideas on how to improve my bloons tower defense game
i think i might have found a couple of ideas
overall though you have great ideas in coding which would even help me out cause i have the problem of having repetitive lines of code making a function last sometimes up to 100 lines
