The Deactivated Message
2001-04-15, 2:48 PM #1
I'm working on the thermal cog. I've done some work on the way it fires, and now, the deactivated message runs before I let go of the key. And then runs again when I do let go of it. I don't know of anything else that could do it except "call deactivated," and that's not in there.

What's happening? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

BTW, I'd post the cog, but I don't think anyone understood the last cog I posted. -I guess it was just way too long to make sense of.

This question can't be too hard.

We can't help you if we can't see the code.

The if(getinv(player, thermgun)) is to find out whether the thermal gun is supposed to be used. And if it is, the gun will fire a different projectile.

Whatever the reason, deactivated is running before I let go of the fire key(mode 0 or 1).

A while ago I did something that used decativaed it the middle, and i found out that it called apon the deactivate message if you hold down or tap the fire buttion , it calls apon the decativate message anyway , i don't think there is a way around it , unless you use a int message to stop it.

So there's no way around it? But anyway, why does it happen in the first place? There must be a reason this cog does that or all the cogs would do it.

Oh, posting error. I'll fix it.

You've found a way, Seifer? What?

Well, I just put in that return and it works fine. Thanks a lot, Jipe [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
