3do template

As some people know, I'm working on a somewhat contraversial MOD (don't see why...), it's a Build Mod. Basically it's a bunch of custom levels with custom cogs and custom 3do's to build. This won't create hackers because it'll be run as a patch.

Now my problem is that I made a custom 3do, made a template for it in my level, and added it to my level. I put in the template name in the weap_raildet.cog so it would build. It builds, but the template changes to a ghost item... I used the _walkstruct parent in the level, and the weap_raildet.cog will build OTHER 3do's fine, like landpads or catwalks... any help?

What is a "build" mod?

I'm guessing a "Build Mod" would be a blank level, where you could "build" your own structures using the weapons to shoot out doors and pillars. (Seen frequently in hacked games, like in Bespin, hackers that shoot out doors)

JK has a limit to how may things you can have in a level, like 500 give or take, so keep that in mind. =)

Oooh, and a suggestion. Since it's a mod, have a special weapon that builds the structures, and have a hotkey that changes the structure that gets fired from the build gun. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

this is the cog, where TEMPLATE is the 3do template name for the static .jkl file. the problem is that even if the parent for the template is _walkstruct, the cog (this is the weap_raildet.cog) will change the 3do template's parent template to _ghostdecor.

Nohting wrong with the cog but elaborate on:

"the problem is that even if the parent for the template is _walkstruct, the cog will change the 3do template's parent template to _ghostdecor."

How are you finding out this information?

I make a 3do, make a template in the static .jkl with parent _walkstruct. I go into the game and it's a _ghostdecor 3do (meaning that you can walk and shoot through it as if it's not there).

Can you post the template and parent template(s)?

I suppose...

_walkstruct parent template

Code:

# DESC: 
# BBOX: 0 0 0 0 0 0
_walkstruct       _structure         thingflags=0x400048

_ghostdecor parent template

Code:

# DESC: 
# BBOX: 0 0 0 0 0 0
_ghostdecor       _decor             collide=0

3do template (used in TEMPLATE for the cog). In this case it's platfrm1

Code:

# DESC: 
# BBOX: -1.15 -1.2 -.09 1.18 1.25 .09
platfrm1          _walkstruct        size=1.256947 movesize=1.256947 model3d=platform.3DO

Hrmm, well, I'd hate to say it, but I'm stumped. =\

Last thing I can suggest is putting this at where fireprojectile() is in your cog:

dummy = fireprojectile(blah blah blah)
SetThingFlags(dummy,0x400048);

Hope this works for ya.
