Have a great idea, but need help.

Hi. I had a good idea for two cogs, but I have no idea how to make them. I was wondering if a kind massassian would make them for me. I will give you plenty of credit if you do.

First cog: Replaces force deadlysight, when activated the players speed is increased three times, his jump is also increased three times, the whole level lights up so theres no darkness, every surface in the level becomes transluctent, the player has the ability to see anyone who is using invisability, and redparticles generate around the players body. Also if possible the damage caused by lightsaber increases by 3x.

Second cog: Replaces force protection. When activated it acts kind of like force absorb. But with a difference. If the player is shot at by lightning the asswell as absorbing the shot with no damage done the lightning is allso reflected right back into whoever shot it at the player. Same with destruction shots and grip. But with grip can you make it so the player doesnt even play that being stragled animation, instead he can just keep walking around as though nothing has happened.

Thanks very much.

Here's a cog that should work for your second request. I originally made it to replace force absorb, but here it is set up to replace protection.

Also, in your kyle.cog, to make grip not choke you when this is in effect, find

if (bin == 31) // Force Grip
{
if(!IsInvActivated(player, 29)) // Protection makes player immune to Grip
{
griptrackID = PlayMode(player, 25);
SetActorFlags(player, 0x40000);

// Print("You are taking Grip damage");
jkPrintUNIString(player, 300);
DamageThing(player, 2 * rank, 0x8, GetSourceRef());
SetTimerEx(0.5, 31, player, 0);
ReturnEx(1);
}
else
{
ReturnEx(0);
}

Return;
}

and change it to

if (bin == 31) // Force Grip
{
if(!IsInvActivated(player, 29)) // Protection makes player immune to Grip
{
griptrackID = PlayMode(player, 25);
SetActorFlags(player, 0x40000);
SetTimerEx(0.5, 31, player, 0);
ReturnEx(1);
}
else
{
// Print("You are taking Grip damage");
jkPrintUNIString(player, 300);
DamageThing(player, 2 * rank, 0x8, GetSourceRef());
ReturnEx(1);
}

Return;
}


That way you'll take the damage to be returned to your enemy, but not be stunned.

I won't help with your deadlysight because I don't approve of anything that makes you move any faster than the already too-fast-for-the-network-code that JK uses. If you ask me, all mods should cut run speed in half.

Making all surfaces translucent might be hard to make local only as well, you'd have to get creative to make it work properly I think. The other stuff is cake to do really, just rip the code from force speed and force seeing.

I think the translucent one would crash the level o-o
