Wherabouts of OLD cog

[Valcien]

It was in Warlords, a long past JK mod. Or wait... There was another one.. Mabey it was that one... Can't remember it's name. Anyway, it just set the player up with different abilities (I think by equipping him with different items and weapons) based on the 3do he was. I'm sure it's easy to do, but if anyone has that cog or one like it, I'd sure appreciate tossin' it my way. And if not, thanks for readin'!;)

If you want to write it yourself, here is how it basically works:



symbols

model3d model0=ky.3do
model3d model1=krugon.3do
model3d model2=jerec.3do
...

message startup

end

code

startup:
# Check for all models...
for(i = 0; i < "numberOfModels"; i = i + 1)
{
# If player has the current model...
if(GetThingModel(GetLocalPlayerThing()) == model0[i])
{
# Give him stuff...
SetInv(GetLocalPlayerThing(), bin, amount);
...
}
}
Return;

end


This is not a working cog, but you should get the idea.

Yes, that helps tremendously, thanks! I really want that cog, though. Admittedly, I think that's mostly nostalgia.:p

[zagibu]

I suggest you get the mod and extract the cog, then.

Probally some mod that is more RPG styled, with "classes" sorta like MotS.

Zagibu's cog is right on, I don't know if you know any cog or not but you could easily modify it to do exactly what you want it to do.

It was never finished or released. It was a fighting game mod.

Another great example of this technique is the Rangi mod for JK.

You'll probably want to throw a sleep in just after "startup:"; JK doesn't set your selected player model instantly and needs a second before it switches to the model you chose. A whole second is enough, maybe even a half second.

I usually use Sleep(0.1)
This small sleep still expires after the first ingame frame is rendered and all stuffs are set by JK

Just a small bit of info I can provide concerning startup...

My thanks for your attention.
