I started making this script with the idea of having multiple enemies on screen and the user clicks on the enemy they want to attack. To do this I made it so the enemy is selected when you click on it and you can see it's stats that way, when you click on the enemy again it clears the stats, this is done by the following script:
//Monster Details
_root.enemy_mc.onRelease = function() {
if (_root.enemy_mc.chosen == 0) {
_root.attack_btn._visible = true;
_root.enemyHealth_txt.text = _root.enemy_mc.health;
_root.enemyLevel_txt.text = _root.enemy_mc.level;
_root.enemyName_txt.text = _root.enemy_mc.nick;
} else {
_root.attack_btn._visible = false;
_root.monsterHealth_txt.text = "";
_root.monsterLevel_txt.text = "";
_root.monsterName_txt.text = "";
_root.clearInterval(enermy1interval);
}
};
Now then, what you've got so far is the setup for the fight 'engine' if you will, the following script is the fight sequence:
_root.attack_btn.onRelease = function() {
//
//Fight Interval Revisited!
//Character Attacking Enemy
_root.fightStat_txt.text += "You're Initiating attack\r"; //prints the text to the fight stats text field
_root.fightStat_txt.scroll +=1; //gets the fight stat text field to scroll up one after printing the previous text
_root.enemy_mc.attackInterval = setInterval(function () { //The start of the chatacter attacking interval
if (_root.enemy_mc.health>0) { // if the enemies health is above "0", continue the sequence
if (random(_root.character_mc.attack+_root.enemy_mc.defence)<=_root.character_mc.attack) { // this is the chance of hit, it's worked out by the characters and attack and the enemy's defence added together then the ammount of the character's attack is the chance of hitting
_root.enemy_mc.health -= (random((_root.character_mc.maxAttack-_root.character_mc.minAttack)+1)+_root.character_mc.minAttack); //This is the ammount of damage done, it's a random amount worked out by the min attack taken away from the max attack, the random result is added to the min attack to get the final attack ammount.
_root.enemyHealth_txt.text = _root.enemy_mc.health; //This updates the enemy's health text
_root.fightStat_txt.text += "You hit it\r";
_root.fightStat_txt.scroll += 1;
} else {
_root.fightStat_txt.text += "You missed it\r";
_root.fightStat_txt.scroll += 1;
}
} else {
_root.fightStat_txt.text+="You killed it!\r";
_root.fightStat_txt.scroll += 1;
_root.character_mc.xp += 20;
_root.characterXP_txt.text = _root.character_mc.xp;
_root.enemy_mc.gotoAndStop("dead");
clearInterval(_root.enemy_mc.attackInterval); //This stops the enemy attack sequence once the enemy is dead
clearInterval(_root.character_mc.attackInterval);//This stops the character attack sequence once the enemy is dead
}
}, _root.character_mc.hitRate); //This is the last bit of the interval setup, it defines how often the interval should happen, in this case it's the character's hit rate
//
//
//
//
//
//
//
//
//
//
//Enemy Attacking Character
_root.fightStat_txt.text +="Enemy Initiating attack\r";
_root.fightStat_txt.scroll += 1;
_root.character_mc.attackInterval = setInterval(function () {
if (_root.character_mc.health>0) {
if (random(_root.character_mc.defence+_root.enemy_mc.attack)<=_root.enemy_mc.attack) {
_root.character_mc.health -=(random((_root.enemy_mc.maxAttack-_root.enemy_mc.minAttack)+1)+_root.enemy_mc.minAttack);
_root.characterHealth_txt.text = _root.character_mc.health;
_root.fightStat_txt.text +="It hit you\r";
_root.fightStat_txt.scroll += 1;
} else {
_root.fightStat_txt.text += "It missed you\r";
_root.fightStat_txt.scroll += 1;
}
} else {
_root.fightStat_txt.text += "It killed You!\r";
_root.fightStat_txt.scroll += 1;
_root.character_mc.gotoAndStop("dead");
clearInterval(_root.character_mc.attackInterval);
clearInterval(_root.enemy_mc.attackInterval);
}
}, _root.enemy_mc.hitRate);
};
This is actually two lots of code, one is for the enemy, the other is for the character. Each section is one big interval with the events happening once the interval is up, in this case the interval length is the hitrate.
Well I hope this has given you an idea of what sort of simple attack engine could be made and built on.
