Blast my ship is in reverse.( need another way to go)
2000-11-28, 1:44 PM #1
Okay I wrote my cog but after teleporting to the ship sector and starting my timer.(Which ran rather long by my mistake of setting it to 500.) It then teleported me back to the first sector.

I am working on a fix to that now, So what I need to know is how do I send a message to another cog to change an int in it? Like say cog1.cog needs to change the int myint=0 in Cog2.cog to =1? can I do that?

thanks for any help in advance...

I am posting my code here becuase I can't figure out why, but it keeps sending the player and ship back to the originol spots. I am burnt out so I am probabbly missing a minor detail... anyways Id appreciate it if someone could point out my mistake to me.

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script

# new.COG

if (shippos = 0) {                       //check and see what position the ship is at.
   TeleportThing(GetSourceRef(), ghost1);     //if its at shippos1 then teleport it to the inship sector
   TeleportThing(ship(), shippos2);           // teleport the ship to its second position.
shippos = 1;                                  // set the shippos to its new shippos
}
else {
if (shippos = 1) {                            //else it will send the ship to the start position when activated
TeleportThing(GetSourceRef(), ghost1);
   TeleportThing(ship(), shippos1);

shippos = 0;
}
}
}

Entered:
sleep(spacetime);
  if (shippos = 1) {
      TeleportThing(GetSourceRef(), playerpos1);

}
else {
  if (shippos = 2) {
      TeleportThing(GetSourceRef(), playerpos2);
}
}
end



The notes are really shabby, but the general idea is stated and then repeated.

Im really needed some help on this. if you know why this isn't working for me I would love to know... (Hehehe, im just trying to refresh my topic... I think you all missed it thinking the 1 reply was a solve?)

The only problem I see is that you are using single equals signs in your if statements. A single eguals sets a variable, a double equals compares.

It should be like this:
if (shippos == 0)

Not this:
if (shippos = 0)


I hope this helps.
