Alternating Powerup
2001-03-02, 1:26 PM #1
I read the other post on powerups and looked at the cogs, but I'm not sure how to use them.

I would like a cog that would alternate between two powerups. For example, in an MP game I would like the strifle powerup to change randomly to the bryar powerup at the same location. Since it is going to be for a Mod, it has to be done without changing the level.

Could someone help me write this cog?

I saw that cog on the other post, but I don't understand how to use it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif] i.e., where do I put it and what vars do I need to change?

It randomly generates template pup1 or template pup2 to ghost position

Thanks, Demon. I'll work on it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

I'll put you in the credits whether I use the cog or not. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
