Need a cog.

[Dash_rendar]

*glares at GBK*

Must be activated when a Thing, OR surface is activated, OR and adjoin is crossed.

Dont worry about making a seperate switch/trigger for each ghost, there only needs to be one switch.


What this one needs to do is generate a template (must be able to work on anything, like AI's, Guns, or projectile traps). Make it work for 5 ghosts, and possible for a different template for each ghost. Thanks a ton in advanced.

And since it is for MP, when somebody generates something, it must generate it on the server side and all client sides.

I know that when weapons are generated, after they have been generated they will continually respawn. Can you make it so this doesnt happen? Or will i just have to make a seperate gun template with no respawn value?


Sorry if this is to much to ask. But i wont need anything like it for awhile since it is a multipourpose thing that will work on anything.

Don't know a whole lot about multiplayer cogs. There is a tutor on Massassi on traps. I have to go to dinner, this cog should work. http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif edit - Couldn't spell

Just skimming over your cog, I see fatal flaws; Invalid arrays.

First, An array should be done starting with zero;



Int Blah0
Int Blah1
Int Blah2
Int Blah3


....But that isnt nessarilly mandatory.

Pulling from your code, change the template array to;



Template Type_zero
Template Type_one
Template Type_two
Template Type_three
Template Type_four


...and change that bit in the fireproj command to "... Type_zero, ...".

I feel dumb. http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif (got rushing looking it over) I think if you add a 0 in the symbols, you have to add a 0 in the fire projectile, otherwise I don't think it'll work. *shurgs*
For the array I'd use

template template
template template1
template template2
template template3
template template4
That's what I'd used. *shrugs agian*

end Me, GBK, and maybe SaberMaster can debate this 0 thing some other time.

The cog still doesn't have a code section. http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif

Dash: I need you to clarify a few things. What exactly do you want created -
projectiles? Does the switch have cels that signify off/on? Do you want a thing or a
switch or both (aside from the adjoin)?

[Dash_rendar]

What I meant was, a total of 3 different ways to activate it. A Thing, a Surface, or an Adjoin.

Yes the switch for the Mat has 2 cells.

Im just going to be creating templates. Whether its just a 3do, an AI, a gun, or a projectile.

Five different ghost, with the possibility for a different template for each ghost.

Auto Aim if you can, but is not necessary.

Ask if you need more clarification, i know im a confusing person http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif

Try this cog:

surface switch
surface adjoin

template temp0

template temp3
template temp4

sound snd0

flex fov=60

int id=100
int active=0 local

end
#================================================= =============#
code
#------------------------------------------------------
activated:
if(GetSenderRef() != object && GetSenderRef() != switch &#0124;&#0124; active) Return;
SendTrigger(-1, id, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Return;
#------------------------------------------------------
crossed:
if(GetSenderRef() != adjoin &#0124;&#0124; active) Return;
SendTrigger(-1, id, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Return;
#------------------------------------------------------
trigger:
if(GetSourceRef() != id) Return;
active=1;
SetSurfaceCel(switch, 1);
for(i = 0; i &lt; 5; i = i + 1) FireProjectile(ghost0[i], temp0[i], snd0[i], -1, '0 0 0', '0 0 0', 0, 0x0, fov, fovDist);
SetTimer(fireWait);

Return;
#------------------------------------------------------
timer:

SetSurfaceCel(switch, 0);

end

This should work. Reply if you need it modified.
