I know that ^that^ isn't a verb. But I need to find a way to get the world surface that a projectile hits. So far i havn't had any luck...Any ideas?

"Not a cog verb".

I know but, check this [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
If you what to do it for testing purpose this might be handy.

While playing the game, in your console type in

"trackshots on"

Man, Hideki, I knew that you are the best cog writer out here, but when did you start working out new console commands!? And how did you find it?!?!
No signature for you.

Well, you could do it like so with a cog:

Code: 
damaged:

if(GetThingType(GetSourceRef()) != 3) Return; //If source was not weapon projectile
if(GetSenderType() != 6) Return; //If sender was not a surface

Surf=GetSenderRef(); //Here's your surface

return;


Hope this helps. =)

If you use a cog, you've got to place that in every surface of your level.

As for the console, you open up "jk.exe" in a text editor, there is a part which has bunch of console commands nested. Just tried each one of them [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

hey Hideki about opening the jk.exe up and finding console commands. i did that a while ago and there are some pretty good ones there but half of them don't work. what i like doing is taking the thigs like red5 and chaning them to something like toad then instead of red5 being the code the code is toad

Modifying the executable is a no-no, in the EULA.

Then get your projectile cogged with a touched message and print out the surface material, maybe.
