Activating an Inventory Item...

[AKPiggott]

I'm trying to make the "Heavy Explosives" powerup in MotS function like it does in the game. I want it so that if you use it in a particular sector, it'll blow the walls off, if the player activates it anywhere else, a line will be printed saying "this won't be a good place to detonate that". I've written a COG that I think should work, but I get absolutely nothing when I activate the heavy explosives from the inventory. I looked at how LEC did it and I got completely lost. Have a look at my COG below and see if you can see what's wrong:

symbols

int done0=0 local
int done1=0 local

sector smash

sector blowzone

sector plsector local

end

code

startup:
player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
SetSectorAdjoins(smash, 0);
plsector = GetThingSector(player);
Return;

activated:
if(GetInv(player, 53))
{
if((!done0) && (plsector==blowzone))
{
sleep(0.1);
done0 = 1;
SetSectorAdjoins(smash, 1);
SetFaceGeoMode(wall1, 0);
SetAdjoinFlags(wall1, 2);
SetFaceGeoMode(wall2, 0);
SetAdjoinFlags(wall2, 2);
}
else
{
sleep(0.1);
done1 = 1;
Print("KYLE: This wouldn't be a good place to detonate that.");
sleep(10.0);
done1 = 0;
}
}

Return;

end

Any suggestions?

first, the plsector only gets set in the startup message, so it will always be the sector the player starts in. put that line in the activated message. Also, remove the thing from the players inventory after he uses it probably. thats all I see... http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif

Oh yeah., I as gonna remove it, good point about plsector, I wasn't thinking there.

I've solved the problem differently now, but thanks for the help.

Okk i don't think you need the help anymore but i don't see where you are specifiying what wall to blow out, because i see you have it set for plsector and like the other guy said it won't do anything. but maybe you did set it right but i didn't see it i went over it really fast
