My Team Fortress Type Turret Making Cog
2000-11-17, 3:48 PM #1
The idea is that on secondary fire, the player creates a turret which can be fired five times before it is deleted. I've planned everything out but there is a problem with the cog which I attach to the turret template. Instead of the actual item created being the turret, the player's thing is placed in that variable. Here is the cog:

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# BuiltTurret.COG
#
# Cog attached to BuiltTurret Template.
#

Here is the code for the modified bryar pistol cog, which on secondary fire places the new turret. It operates fine, but since the two are connected, I thought one might help the other.

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# WEAP_BRYAR.COG
#
# WEAPON 2 Script - Bryar Pistol
#
# The trusty weapon of Kyle Katarn. This is actually an older modified rifle
# that has been cut down to more of a pistol size. It is very accurate but
# somewhat of a low power weapon. This weapon has only one type of fire.
#
# DragonPhinn here, added the TURRETMAKING portion of this cog.
#
# - Affected by MagSealed sectors/surfaces.

# [YB & CYW]

The template is the turret1.3do with the cog added to it. Parent _zwalkstructure.

Thanks in advanced!

Look at the beginning of the code in your first cog.. you have player = .. change it to player = GetLocalPlayerThing()?

-Jipe

P.S. Sounds like a neat idea [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
2000-11-17, 8:30 PM #3
use
int mainturret
...

mainturret = CreateThingAtPos(some template, GetThingSector(player), GetThingPos(player), '0 0 0');

that will make the turrect a thing and you can do stuff with it. That's how i make and use AI in multi. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif] hope that helps!

Jipe - I tried adding the player=GetLocalPlayerThing(), but to no avail.

Keith - I can't use your idea because I want the turret cog attached directly to the template, and since the turret is created dynamically within the bryar cog. Unless I combined both cogs, it wouldn't work, and I'm not sure how to differentiate between activation of the weapon and activation of the turret.
