This tutorial is one of your best to date – nice one!

I don’t like how you fall down a ladder if you jump on to it from above, but otherwise the collision seems quite solid. I’d like to see what happens if the character is larger than a tile, I guess I should try it for myself :)

I’d be interested to learn how you would approach sloped tiles. I’d love to be able to add hills to my game to make more organic levels.

@Josh – I don’t understand 2nd part (please fix) and on other frames just unload movieclips used in levels. I did so on my pool game so all balls and stick won’t appear. Try something like:
removeMovieClip(“player”)
And next time post this in forums.

i have a question completely off topic but i’m creating a shooting game and when you get 2 a new level all my actionscrip is stayin in use on different frames how do i cancel or stop this?Such as i dont want the player to be able to shoot in one frame but he shoots anyway becuase last frame i used action script to allow him to fire. Another probleme i have iwth this is when i attach a death scene to the nmes unless i make it go away after a while it stays there when i move to another lvl (annother frame)?

Arxanas – most of tuts here use ActionScript (on frames only) so making movieclips and placing em won’t be such same as otehr tuts and some codes won’t work.

Still waiting for level editor, full patrols and some kind of score thing.

AWESOME!!!
I never would have been able to make that patrol ActionScript! But wouldn’t it be a little easier to make movieclips and just place them wherever? Then you could define the exact movement, instead of just putting a patrol thing.
