Cog for Nar Shadda
2001-06-22, 1:28 PM #1
I have created two cogs for Nar Shadda (the level I'm working on right now), but neither of them seem to work... The first, is a cog that causes a rodian to sleep (be inactive) until the player enters a certain sector. Then, the rodian is supposed to say a line, (which is in whatever language Rodians speak, and is translated by being printed on the screen). Afterwords, the Rodian aims his gun at the player, and then come back to life. However, it doesn't quite work that way. First, all goes well, and the Rodian ignores you until you enter the sector. Then the words appear on the screen, but the sound file doesn't play (and it's not a problem with the sound itself, because its an LEC sound). During that time, the Rodian does a few sparatic gun aimings, and then he awakens, and begins shooting. After he is killed, the words are still printed on the screen every time the player enters the sector, which I don't want (I want it to only play the very first time). Here is the code:

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# barsec.COG
#
# Description
# -This cog will play a line from the bartender, 
# -(a rodian) then cause it to aim a weapon 
# -at the player
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

sound			barline
keyframe		aim=grfire.key
end

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

code
startup:
	AISetMode(bartender, 0x2000);
	return;

entered:
	PlaySoundThing (barline, bartender, 1);
	Print ("You don't belong in here.");
	Sleep (2);
	AIClearMode(bartender, 0x2000);
	PlayKey (bartender, aim, 1);
	AISetMode(bartender, 0x200);
	return;
# ........................................................................................

end


The second code deals with the player entering the women's bathroom. Upon entering the sector, a woman is supposed to scream, then the player is to say "Woops, I'd better get out of here" (or something like that). Once again, the sound files do not play, and once again, I only want it to play once. Here's the code for this one:

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# girlsroom.COG
#
# Description
# -This cog will play a line from a lady in a bathroom, 
# -and make her scream
#
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

sector			bathroom
thing			lady
thing			player
sound			scream
sound			bettergo
end

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

code
startup:
	player = GetLocalPlayerThing ();
return;

entered:
	PlaySoundThing (scream, lady, 1);
	Print ("Whaaaaaa!!!");
	Sleep (2);
	PlaySoundThing (bettergo, player);
	Print ("Woops, I'd better go...")
	return;
# ........................................................................................

end

Any help would be appriciated...

Use sectorsound instead it should work in your case

So that would make it,
Code: 
PlaySectorSound (barline, bartender, 1);
And same for the rest? I'll try that, but what about the problem with it playing over and over again? I just want it to play the first time, and I know that can be done...

look at how they used it in the bartender cog in the first level and do it how they did it
roses are red, violets are blue, I am schizophrenic, and I am too!

Also, to only get the first cog to play once, do this:
in the entered: section, above everything else, put "if(awake) return;"

Next, directly below that (still above PlaySoundThing() or is it PlaySectorSound() now?) type in "awake=1;"

This'll make the code work only once.

For the second cog, do the same as above, but you'll need to type in "int awake=0 local" in the symbols section.
