Many thanks for this tutorial, I honestly appreciate the support offered to many of us we are learning how to make games in Flash. Maybe the best beginner’s tutorial I’ve come across until now.

As I’m going through this tutorial, I’m modifying certain things to fit the vision I have for my game, and I have a question, which is really hard to explain. I have it set up so that two enemy ships spawn at the same time (inside the same “random” function in Engine.as). Basically, they are supposed to both be the same ship, but from two different angles, and flying different directions. Here’s my problem. I want them both to shoot at a random interval, but both shoot at the same random interval. Unlike spawning the ships, this is a problem because one laser links to one enemy class, and the other laser links to the other enemy class. Is there a way to get the random value from the first laser, save it, and apply it to the other laser? Is there maybe a better way to go about this? I also tried to use the code that makes the “good” ship fire at a fixed interval, which I thought might be a workaround for my “bad” ship issue, but only the first enemy ship fired at all.

So far, so good, though. Love the tutorials!

Thanks,
-Erik-

I’m new to flash and I’m so happy I came across this tutorial first! I was able to complete the game quite easily as everything was explained nicely.

I have a question though in regards to tweeking the enemy spawn location. How would I go about making the enemies not spawn on top of each other?
