While scrambling around this morning trying to get walk cycles to work, I wrote some quick and dirty code in about 20 minutes.  I just had a chance to fix the code to make it as efficient as possible.  Witness the before and after by clicking “read more” below.  I finished the walk cycles by the way and I will be posting up the example as soon as I’m done cleaning up the code.

Dirty, dirty code:

{

redGrid.locateCurrentPlane(_server.transformerObjectRed.x, _server.transformerObjectRed.y);
buddyArray[1].mesh.x = _server.transformerObjectRed.x; buddyArray[1].mesh.y = _server.transformerObjectRed.y; buddyArray[1].mesh.rotationZ = _server.transformerObjectRed.rotationZ;
trace(”red guys rotation Z: ” + buddyArray[1].mesh.rotationZ);
walkOtherPlayers(buddyArray[1].mesh, _server.transformerObjectRed.walking);
}
else if(_playerID == 2)
{
blueGrid.locateCurrentPlane(_server.transformerObjectBlue.x, _server.transformerObjectBlue.y);

Clean Code:

private function applyTransform(id:int, transformObj:Object, grid:Grid):void
{

grid.locateCurrentPlane(transformObj.x, transformObj.y);

buddyArray[id].mesh.x = transformObj.x;
buddyArray[id].mesh.y = transformObj.y;
buddyArray[id].mesh.rotationZ = transformObj.rotationZ;

walkOtherPlayers(buddyArray[id].mesh, transformObj.walking);

}

private function moveOtherPlayers():void
{

if(_server.transformerObjectBlue != null && _playerID != 1){
applyTransform(0, _server.transformerObjectBlue, blueGrid);
}
if(_server.transformerObjectRed  != null && _playerID != 2){
applyTransform(1, _server.transformerObjectRed, redGrid);
}
if(_server.transformerObjectYellow  != null && _playerID != 3){
applyTransform(2, _server.transformerObjectYellow, yellowGrid);
}
if(_server.transformerObjectGreen  != null && _playerID != 4){
applyTransform(3, _server.transformerObjectGreen, greenGrid);
}
}
