I'm not gay, but I'll learn.

Ok, I've been editing jk for 1,5 years now, and frankly I still suck with cogging...

This time is the first time I tried making a if, else statement, so that's probably where I went wrong.

The idea:
Teleport, but after a button is shot it teleports to a different location.

The preperation:
We take s5l4_teleport.cog as a base.

The work:
We *try to make it do the things we want it to do*. I came up with this, which *obviously http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif* doesn't work. (I'm surprisingly good in making non functional cogs http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif) (Syntax checker keeps silent, as usual...)

It's a quote from homer simpson, I just needed a funny thread title, no offence intented.

Oh I'll try the cog In a minute...

[edit: one minute later] Hmm, does alot more then my cog but doesn't quite do it yet.
1) Somehow in both cases it teleports to newspot2. Weird, perhaps I should add a startup and do a SetWallCell(button, 0); first?
2) The button seems to only take damage from the lightsaber, how could I make sure a simple blasterbolt does the trick?

Thanks alot (again)!

It still had problem 1, though I don't see why, but I solved it by changing, GetWallCel(button) == 0 into != 1, and then it worked. Weird.
Thanks alot.

The problem I see is that in symbols there is:
surface button Mask=0x448
But in the code there is:
Startup: Setwallcel(Switch, 0); Stop;

The surface name needs to be the same in both places (either "button" or "Switch").
Then the function: Setwallcel(Switch, 0); will work properly.

Oops, my fault.

But its strange. It has been my expiriance, that any of the 'wallcel' verbs will crash if the specified variable is incorrect or nonexistant.... http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif

The thing I had trouble with before was that a cog can't check a wallcel, getwallcel(switch), unless you use the setwallcel() function in the startup.
