I need a cog which does the following
(it's for a rifle range like the one in half-life only it works only for eweb and you get a powerup when you hit.):
-move 3do from frame 0 to 1 and back continuesly. shouldn't play any sounds when moving.
-when hit by eweb laser it should stop moving; a little explosion template should appear. (the object must not disappear.)
A healthpack should be created at a ghost position.

I had tried the cog myself and asked it at tacc but I still don't seem to get it working can anybody please help?
thanks.

for the target,

Code:

symbols
message damaged
thing player local
end
#--------------------------------------------
code
damaged:
player=GetSenderRef
SetInv(player, POWERUP BIN FROM ITEMS.DAT,1 or 0)
end

Add any more code that you want, I hope you know the basics of cog...

BTW: This is for the target, I dunno what you meant about the frames.(for a keyfile, it has to be)

i think u would have to do it something like this

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# DEFAULT.COG
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co
 


symbols
template     powerup                                                          
template     explosion                                                        
thing        ghost                                                            
thing        target                                                           
thing        player                             local                         
keyframe     key                                                              
flex         delay                                                            

message      damaged                                                          
message      startup                                                          
end                                                                           
# ========================================================================================
code
damaged:
   player=GetSenderRef;
   SetInv(player, 92, 0);
   CreateThing(explosion, target);
   CreateThing(powerup, ghost);
   StopKey(target,key,delay);
  return;
# ========================================================================================
startup:
   //the 0x3 flag should make the key loop
   PlayKey(target,key,1,0x3);
  return;
end

please don't hold me to this but i think this will make the key loop and when it is damaged stop the key after the delay time is up

ok I've allmost done it; I just need a little more help. I now have the cog:
----------------------------------------------------

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# S4L2_shipexplode.COG
#Modified for Rifle range usage. By ZOOIkes aka Darth Vedder. (A Pirate's Tale: level 1: the Escape)
# Ship explosion for end of level S4L2

symbols

message		damaged

thing		ship					mask=-1

sound		shipcrack
sound		shipexplode

thing		ghost1
thing		ghost2

template	explosion_tpl		
template	powerup

flex        	curdamage=0                 	local
flex		damage

end


code
  
damaged:

   curdamage=curdamage + GetParam(0);

   if (curdamage<damage) Return;

	playsoundpos(shipexplode, getthingpos(ship), 1.0, -1, -1, 0);

	Sleep(0.05);
   CreateThing(explosion_tpl, ghost1);
   Sleep(0.05);
   CreateThing(powerup, ghost2);

	return;

end

----------------------------------------------------
(offcourse in my case the ship is a target.)

the cog does it allmost; except 2 things:
-explosions keep appearing forever. (should be only one)
-It doesn't let the target move

if anyone could help me with this, please do.

please use code tags
uuum u don't have anything in your cog making it move. I don't understand y it keeps on making a bunch of explosions but u might want to make it fire a projectile, it works much better and i know it only creates one explosion, try this code here

Code:

      FireProjectile(ship, explosion_tpl, -1, 8, '-0.0 0.0 0', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0);

that code will wrk fine

does the same [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

maybe it would work if I put a:

Code:

if (curdamage>damage) end

in it. But cogwriter says it's wrong; is there an other command for 'stop' that I could use?

geez me must be stupid, hideki will come along and give some super definition and u will be done in a couple seconds. try putting this after your sleep

Code:

DestroyThing(explosion_tpl, ghost1);
but then u would have to use
DestroyThing(explosion_tpl, ghost1);
and not fire projectile

i will get back to u about the movement, i am going to mess with some frames and stuff.

It doesn't seem to work either. (or is it ust me [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

)

I did noticed something; When I blast the target with the eweb numerous explosions (and healthpacks)are created; but they do stop after a minute or 2. When I shoot the target with a concussion rifle (nothing should happen, but...) one or 2 explosions (and healthpacks)are created.

So something is definitly wrong here, since the target reacts on all weapons; even if you blast it with a bryar a few times.
