Kyle Deflect

[BobTheJedi]

I know I have to edit Kyle.cog to do this but I am unsure where to start. I want to make it so that when an enemy fires at kyle and it hits him it deflects right off like a lightsaber. Does anyone have any ideas?

[Ruthven]

perhaps there is a cog for the superhield thing. try and intergrate it with the kyle cog. No idea, at least I replied

You mean, mag-seal the player? There's a flag for that somewhere.. JK Specs has it. It was done in Drazen, if you want a reference.

ok, yeah I found the actor flag for it, it's
0x2000, just where do I insert it or replace it in a cog? and Which cog?

[Hideki]

In the startup of the kyle.cog.

ok, i keep trying to set it up right but everytime it doesn't work, this is what I have:
code

startup:
player = GetLocalPlayerThing();

if(!IsMulti()) call init_kyle;

// Bubbles
if(IsMulti())
ClearActorFlags(player, 0x2000);
{
SetTimerEx(4 + 5 * rand(), 2, 0, 0);
else
SetTimerEx(2 + 5 * rand(), 2, 0, 0);

Return;


please someone point it out to me what I am doing wrong.

startup:
player = GetLocalPlayerThing();

if(!IsMulti()) call init_kyle;

// Bubbles
if(IsMulti())
{
SetTimerEx(4 + 5 * rand(), 2, 0, 0);
else
SetTimerEx(2 + 5 * rand(), 2, 0, 0);
}

SetActorFlags(player, 0x2000);

Return;

Tried the code, it didn't work. I copied it exactly.

[Hideki]

startup:

player = GetLocalPlayerThing();

if(!IsMulti()) call init_kyle;
// Bubbles

if(IsMulti()) SetTimerEx(4 + 5 * rand(), 2, 0, 0);
else
SetTimerEx(2 + 5 * rand(), 2, 0, 0);
SetActorFlags(player, 0x2000);
Return;

Ok, I am making progress. It blocks but I have to be shot only from the front. Is there a way that where ever I get shot it blocks, like if I get shot in the back it bounces off? Another thing, I can do my self I am just wondering if I would be doing it right. I wanted to get rid of the animation of block so it just bounces off me without the hand block. Do I erase the PovBlockAnimation 0,1 and 2 or the blockAnim 0,1 and 2 or is it something else?

There is a flag to make an actor mag-sealed, but will reflect lasers to random direction.
Check jkspec for that flag.

Guys I think I know what you want. I have a version of mega shield modified to multiplayer levels. It works very well, but haves a bug in single player mode. It doesn't blocks the saber atacks from PC just from MPCs. Hideki I want to talk with you about one patch made by Tecnomant, I modifiing it. But I found some problems with the items bins, if you help me I will be pleased. My UIN is 87276478 please contact me.
