Father Cutscene Problems (RoX TC)

[Lord_Grismath]

Gar... I wrote and re-wrote this cog, and I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. It's all basic stuff here, just quite a bit of it, and when I write this much code in a sitting there are always chances for mistakes that I cannot identify.

When I enter the specified sector in-game, the game simply crashed without wrning and kicks me back to Windows.

Is this for MOTS or JK?

------------------
I used to believe that we only want what we can't have. I was wrong. The truth is, the wonderful truth is, we only want what we think we can't have.

I don't see any error that would crash the game, but fix the ones listed below and see
what happens. http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif

The keyframe, breathing, is undefined. The keyframe, chop, is undefined. The vector, '0.0 +.003 0.0', is invalid. AIMoveThing() should be AISetMoveThing() AIFireTarget() should be AISetFireTarget() If this is for JK, you can't use the cutscene verbs. The MoveToFrame() code for flycam is redundant. MoveToFrame() will make the flycam go to frames 1 and 2 on the way to frame 3. You're trying to stop the breathingkey with a 2-second delay. This may not work unless the animation is played with the 0x10 keyframe flag. You have two AISetFireTarget(tahactor, tower) commands. You need to use AISetMoveFrame() instead of MoveToFrame() to move actors to their frames.


BTW, Parsec caught most of those errors. I wouldn't have written it if I didn't want
people to use it. http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif

It's for MotS, and thanks for the help, I'll try this out.

And as for the 'AISetMove' thing, :P, I think I'd better go back to my other cogs... :]

[Lord_Grismath]

Hmmmm... it still crashed.

What I really need help on, though, is...

^--THAT

Note the irony of 'I hope I did it right this time.' I didn't. :P

[SaberMaster]

Ok, several things wrong there:

GetSenderRef is missing the parentheses set. (plrflags == 0x2000000) is a bad condition. Use (plrflags & 0x2000000) or BitTest() instead. There's no return before the pulse message. plrflags should be an int, but JK will accept it anyway.


Fix those errors and then see. http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif

And about the first cog, check for errors with the camera's focus object. One of the main causes of crashing is setting the camera to look at an object that doesn't exist.

Wow, thanks a lot, SaberMaster.

Stupid time:

I'm not too experienced with writing cutscene cogs from scratch, and thus am not entirely clear as to what you mean by the camera's focus (even though I included a focus verb in my cog http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif)

[Lord_Grismath]

Sure enough, the water damage part works like a charm :]

[Lord_Grismath]

Now if I coulg just have the same luck with the father cutscene, :[.

[Lord_Grismath]

Umm... guys?
