Pause?
2000-12-22, 5:38 PM #1
I am making a pause button for JK DeathMatch.
It freezes the player and makes him invulnerable. He cannot fire weapons, use the console, anything. Here is the cog:
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# boss.cog
# Immobalizes the player and disables the ability to use weapons.
# Also makes him invinceable.
# A bloody pause button for JK.

code

activated:

d00d = GetLocalPlayerThing();

on = 0;

if (on==0)

{

	SetActorFlags(d00d,0xA00008);

	Print ("Paused");	

	on = 1;

}
else
{
	if (on==1)

			{

	
				ClearActorFlags(d00d,0xA00008);

		Print("Unpaused");

		on = 0;

	}
}

Return;

end

The problem? I press the button once, it pauses. Works like a bloody charm. The thing is, when I press it again, it doesn't do anything. Is there something about the Totaly Imobalized flag that disables input, thus making it ignore everything I do once it changes my flags? I thought that may be so, so I tried partially imobalized. This time when I pressed it after being paused it just printed paused again, and I assume it set my flags, again. What, exactly, am I doing wrong here?

MAKE SPACES between == and the rest of the cog. if(on == 1).. like that.

I did, made no difference.

heeb, that doesn't matter...

aglar, its because you have on=0; right after activated, so no matter what you do it will alwyas set that to 0, and wont call the part for if(on == 1);

Gunny was right, but that was only part of the problem. The problem was the flag, once it was it it ignored anything the player did.

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned this
dood isn't declared anywhere in the symbols section, and therefore the call to assign a value, or do anything to dood doesn't do anything at all
And meanwhile the bus with legs has destroyed half of disneyland . . . and nobody cares!

I defined it right under the activated message. If it wasn't defined it would have done nothing. Trust me, that was not the problem, I already said what was.

im not sure if you knew this midget basher, but you dont have to declare any int's or things in symbols unless you need to set them to a value up there. like id=-1 or model=ky.3do

I didn't know that
I read somewhere that you needed to define them in the symbols section
thank you gunboy

Well, what do you know? You learn something new each day. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I still prefer to explicitly define the variables I use, in the symbols section. Call me old fashioned (or a C programmer) [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

In the mean time, I'll investigate those actor flags.
