Simple question

[ORJ_JoS]

I have this cog that 'conjures' an item upon activating a thing. It works, but I'd like it to work upon 'activation' of a surface too. I tried adding a symbol for a surface but it proved to be not THAT easy, lol. Can anyone tell me how to do this correctly?

Here's GBK's original.


# Simple JK Cog script to 'conjure' an item upon activation of a thing (3do).

Symbols
Message Activated
Thing Touchee
Thing Ghost
Template Item
End
Code
Activated:
Creatething(Item, Ghost);
Stop;
End

Just a quicky I drummed up - you can tell by the lack of comments in the code (as in "none-existant" http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif) - sorry but I'm at work at the mo, so it's the best I could do... http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif


symbols

message activated
template tplItem
surface surf0 linkid=1
thing object linkid=1
thing spawnPos

end

code

activated:
if (GetSenderID() == 1) {
CreateThing (tplItem, spawnPos);
}
return;

end


It should work although I haven't had chance to test it (though I dare say you'll have chance to before I get home from work http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif)

Hope this helps http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif

Alright, thanks a lot! Is it MultiPlayer proof? I can't test it on 2 comps at the moment, only 1 comp working.

Yes, but can you do it in fewer characters? http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif

[ORJ_JoS]

Thanks, GBK. But I already tried that myself and it just didn't work... Think I'll try it again, lol. Maybe I just mistyped the surface number or something.

Sorry Ace, but it looks like GBK's notched up another "victim" to his list of people that have fallen for that trick http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif - "stop" is an actual JK keyword (used in some of the original JK cogs actually) that has exactly the same purpose as "return" - it's just GBK wants to be different http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif. I don't know why the JK team decided to have two keywords for the same thing, but then again they chose "flex" over "float" in many of the cogs too... *shrugs*
