Need help with a cog..
2000-09-29, 2:33 PM #1
I am trying to make a cog that will kill the player, make him invisible, and create templates when he is hit by a specific template... I tried to make a cog for this.. but i have very little cog knowledge. I tried to tag this onto the shot template.. it didn't work.. here's what i had:

Code: 
#
# ROCKET.COG
#
# Blows character to little bits if hit with rocket.
#

symbols

thing		victim		local

template    carnage=+carnage               local
template    blood1=+blood               local
template    blood2=+blood2               local

sound		splat=landhard01.wav

message		touched


end

# ========================================================================================

code

touched:


   PlaySoundThing(splat, victim, 1, -1, -1, 0);
   if (victim != -1)CreateThing(carnage, victim);
   if (victim != -1)CreateThing(blood1, victim);
   if (victim != -1)CreateThing(carnage, victim);
   if (victim != -1)CreateThing(blood2, victim);

KillPlayer(victim, 0);
SetThingGeoMode(victim, 0);

	return;

# ========================================================================================

end



If anyone knows how to do this. Please help me. I am in need of it.

put it in the killed message in the kyle.cog

thats all i can think of...since i already did it [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
but i dont know how to do it for only ONE weapon, i could do it for just one type of damage(explosive)

you have to use a GetParam i think.
I'm just an old man with a skooma problem.

to do it in the kyle.cog, use
Code: 
GetThingWeapon(GetThingParent(GetSourceRef()))


the main problem with your cog is that you never define "victim". use :
Code: 
victim = GetSourceRef();

or it might be GetSenderRef(), not sure. Also, make sure to reset the Player's Geo Mode when they respawn, otherwise they might still be invisible...

to kill the player use "damage=99999" in the template of the victim. and if the SetThingGeoMode doesnt work, try SetThingModel(victim, -1);

thats all I can think of... should work in SP too.
