Please can someone explain line 55 for me, I read the line rider tutorial page but I still don’t understand everything thats going on here, thanks.

I assume that this._x+28 refers to the front point of the triangle (ship)and the bit that follows: *Math.cos(angle) works out a straight horizontal hittest line. Im just guessing at this point though.

if ((this._y> 400) or tunnel_movie.hitTest(this._x+28*Math.cos(angle), this._y+28*Math.sin(angle), true) or tunnel_movie.hitTest(this._x+8*Math.cos(angle+Math.PI/2), this._y+8*Math.sin(angle+Math.PI/2), true) or tunnel_movie.hitTest(this._x+8*Math.cos(angle-Math.PI/2), this._y+8*Math.sin(angle-Math.PI/2), true)) {

why can’t i get the gameover to work?

game = true
{
if ((this._y > 400) or tunnel_movie.hitTest(this._x+28*Math.cos(angle), this._y+28*Math.sin(angle), true) or tunnel_movie.hitTest(this._x+8*Math.cos(angle+Math.PI/2), this._y+8*Math.sin(angle+Math.PI/2), true) or tunnel_movie.hitTest(this._x+8*Math.cos(angle-Math.PI/2), this._y+8*Math.sin(angle-Math.PI/2), true)) {
game = false;
tunnel_movie.removeMovieClip();
}
};

{
if (game = false) {
gotoAndPlay (“gameover”,1);
} else {
gotoAndStop (“game”,1);
}
}
stop();

hey i have this code:
level=1
dupMovie = function () {
for (i=0; i<=10*level; i++) {
alien.duplicateMovieClip(“alien”+i, i, {_x:Math.random()*600, _y:Math.random()*450});
}
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
robot.duplicateMovieClip(“robot”+i, i+10000, {_x:Math.random()*600, _y:Math.random()*450});
}
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
ninja.duplicateMovieClip(“ninja”+i, i+20000, {_x:Math.random()*600, _y:Math.random()*450});
}
};
dupMovie();

but when i run it it doesnt increase when the level goes up
WHY???
