Need help with a cog..

[SDA_Lakuti]

I am trying to make a cog that will kill the player, make him invisible, and create templates when he is hit by a specific template... I tried to make a cog for this.. but i have very little cog knowledge. I tried to tag this onto the shot template.. it didn't work.. here's what i had:



#
# ROCKET.COG
#
# Blows character to little bits if hit with rocket.
#

symbols

thing victim local

template carnage=+carnage local
template blood1=+blood local
template blood2=+blood2 local

sound splat=landhard01.wav

message touched


end

# ================================================== ======================================

code

touched:


PlaySoundThing(splat, victim, 1, -1, -1, 0);
if (victim != -1)CreateThing(carnage, victim);
if (victim != -1)CreateThing(blood1, victim);
if (victim != -1)CreateThing(carnage, victim);
if (victim != -1)CreateThing(blood2, victim);

KillPlayer(victim, 0);
SetThingGeoMode(victim, 0);

return;

# ================================================== ======================================

end




If anyone knows how to do this. Please help me. I am in need of it.

put it in the killed message in the kyle.cog

thats all i can think of...since i already did it http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif
but i dont know how to do it for only ONE weapon, i could do it for just one type of damage(explosive)

you have to use a GetParam i think.

[Fernando_the_Hunn]

to do it in the kyle.cog, use


GetThingWeapon(GetThingParent(GetSourceRef()))


the main problem with your cog is that you never define "victim". use :


victim = GetSourceRef();

or it might be GetSenderRef(), not sure. Also, make sure to reset the Player's Geo Mode when they respawn, otherwise they might still be invisible...

to kill the player use "damage=99999" in the template of the victim. and if the SetThingGeoMode doesnt work, try SetThingModel(victim, -1);

thats all I can think of... should work in SP too.
