Saber handle switching: so close, yet so far...
2001-04-27, 1:18 PM #1
Howdy;

Alright, recently I've made some personalized saber handle, and, well, I'd like to use them.

I'm going for the glowsaber-esque hotkey-switching method, but none of the glowsaber's do EXACTLY that, and I've tried messing with every glowsaber release to make it JUST change the handle, and...well, I suck.

I can't get it to do anything! Can someone give me some help, tips...cogs? (I feel like a loser simply asking for a cog on a "how-to-make cogs" message board, but....)

Help is as always appreciated,
Thanks!

In glowsaber, the hand, saber blade, and saber handle are all the same 3do. The sabv and sabg handles that come in the gob aren't used.(Except in certain levels like Jedi Search)

I'm not really sure what you're trying to do. Do you want to swith the handle of the glosaber with a hotkey? Just the handle?

No no no, I'm not actually dealing with the glowsaber patch, but I want to switch the normal saber handle with a hotkey, like glowsaber does.

(I was just saying that I was using Glowsaber a reference for me to make the cog myself, but that was unsuccessful.)

So: I want a hotkey that will cycle through 6 saber handles. (Why didn't I just say that in the first place...) [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]


Thanks alot,

Try this as your weap_saber.cog. Just change the SaberMesh-SaberMesh5 3do's in symbols section to your own, and edit the Print()'s in USER5.

Code: 
# WEAP_SABER.COG with SABER HANDLE TOGGLE

     if(GetCurWeapon(player) == 10)
     {
     jkSetWeaponMesh( player, saberMesh1 );
     }
    }
    if(SELECT == 6) 
    {
    Print("SABER HANDLE #6 SELECTED");
     if(GetCurWeapon(player) == 10)
     {
     jkSetWeaponMesh( player, saberMesh );
     SELECT = 0;
     }
    }
    Return;

end


and then this as your hotkey.cog:
Code: 
# SABER_HANDLE HOTKEY

symbols

thing			player
message		activated

end

# ========================================================================================

code
 
activated:
      player = GetSourceRef();
      SendMessage(GetInvCog(player, 10), USER5);
	Return;

end
