Changing mats during the game...

Hey, I want to make it when I get shot in JK my chest becomes a new mat with damage on it. Is it possible? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Not possible. Only way to do it is if you have a different 3do with all the different damage mats in all the possible combinations.

Ok, lets say I have a new 3do for he gets shot in the chest. How would I go about making a cog that would change his 3do? I think I'd have to make it so the cog would activate when he reaches 50% health.

I got bored, so I wrote you the cog [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Code:

#============================================================
# damagep.cog
# changes the players model depending on what their health is
# Not supported by LucasArts because they suck

#============================================================
symbols
message startup
message pulse
model damaged=kyh4.3do
model healthy=ky.3do
end
#============================================================
code
startup:
SetPulse(0.1);
Return;
#============================================================
pulse:
player = GetSourceRef();
health = GetThingHealth(player);
if (health <= 50)
{
	SetThingModel(player, damaged);
}
else
{
	if (health >= 50)
	{
		SetThingModel(player, healthy);
	}
}

Return;
#============================================================
end

Works great. ky.3do and kyh4.3do can be changed to whatever you want.
