Could someone give me the code for making your character fly. I have the icon states, and all that, I just cant figure out how to make him fly. Someone please give me a flight code, please!

This should be in Newbie Central

We don't know what you want. How should flying work in your game?

Ok, I would like for someone to give me the code that makes it possible for you character to fly. Anyone who has played a DBZ game should know what I want. I'll try to explain it as best I can.

I have the icon I want to fly, and I have the icon of him flying.
What I want is the code that makes the flying icon show, and makes his density equal zero when he's flying, so he can go over everything.

If someone could please give me a code, I would really appreciate it. Thank You

mob
    var
        isfly = 0
mob/verb/Fly()
    if(!usr.isfly)
        usr << "You are a fly!"
        usr.icon_state = "fly"
        usr.density = 0
        usr.isfly = 1
    else
        usr << "You become human again!"
        usr.icon_state = "human"
        usr.density = 1
        usr.isfly = 0

Believe it or not, most of the people who answer coding questions here do not play DBZ games. But since you described what you want, I'll help you.
mob
  verb
    fly()
      icon_state = "flying"
      density = 0
      src << "You're flying!"

    land()
      icon_state = "walking"
      density = 1
      src << "You're walking!"

Edit to taste.

a good idea is to check the backlog because Dracon asked this a while back (year or two ;P) and there was alotta replys and a indepth discussion about flying in games

Yes, I've seen it asked probably 20 times or more since I've been a member of this community. It's usually a lot harder to get the person to describe what they mean, though.
