If you are using my code, the imageboxes are standing still, it is where you blt that has to be checket. I can't remember what we called it, but it should look something like this...

VB Code:

if intX <= 0 then
     intX = 0
end if

and the same whith the Y, and then you would have to check for the right side and the bottom of the screen...

thats what i told him when he said it didnt work...

lol
dont worry, i know that i lack many things in VB, but as i have said i am STARVING for knolage that my teacher cant provide.
anyhoo...

i got this cool little thing that makes it look like your blasting thru space. its cool...i think...

::Update::((as if you cared;) ))
i got the boundrys in!
yay!

ok, i hesitated before coming here for help and worked some more but i still cant figure this out.

heres the problem.

I cant figure out a way to have my laserbeams (a shape) hit a moving target.

i need collision thingy and all of mine have failed misribly

you have to check all four sides of both objects like this:
if lasers right is over objects left, and if lasers left is under objects right, and if lasers bottom is over objects top and lasers top is under objects bottom!
if all thats true, theres a collition!

ok so like i gatta do:

VB Code:

if shape.top = laser.top and shape.left = laser.left then
shape.visible = false
end if

w00t w00t!!!

I figured it out!!! w00t!!!

*dances*
hehe...ok back to work...


I need some help figuring out how to make rapid shots, right now when u shoot you are only allowed one shot and if you shoot again then the laser shot just starts over...:rolleyes:

VB Code:

If Laser.Top + Laser.Height > Shape.Top And Laser.Top < Shape.Top + Shape.Height And Laser.Left + Laser.Width > Shape.Left And Laser.Left < Shape.Left + Shape.Width Then
    Shape.Visible = False
End If

i didnt test this one but i think its correct...

yes that works thanks.

Then you have to have more then on line...make an array of lines, and make some variables (UDT or someting) to keep track of what lasers are visible (shooting now) and what lasers you can use to simulate the next laser shoot...

yeah....make like 4-5 of them and then if one is out of the picture, its available as a new lazer again

You acrually don't have to make more then one of them, just make ann array of the line controll, and then load new instances of it at runtime...;)

yes...just dont know exactly how...

If you have an array of the line control, you can just write something like ...

VB Code:

For i = 0 To n
 
        Load Line(i)
 
Next i

...to load as many as you want...:)

eek!
after consulting the help files for over 2 hours and finding nothing i need to ask about the arrays.:(

What about the arrays?? How to make an arrays of objects?? Make more then one with the same name on the form ;)

uhhh...

now when i play it, it gives me an error, method or data member not found...:(
