The bridge is out... (Cog help needed.)
2001-07-16, 2:26 PM #1
I need a little help here. The code here takes a 2 switches and a adjoined surface. What it does is when 1 of the 2 switches is thrown it makes the adjoined floor disapear, having the effect of a retractable bridge... When the switch is shot it emits sparks and clicks... It also sends a msg saying switch broke... However. When one switch is shot the main switch(lack of better term) Emits sparks and clicks the other does nothing... I need to have the one that is shot spark and emit the sound while the other switch will still work.... heh, coged this so far... the rest is out of my knowledge of cog...I think its gonna have to have a get sender ref or something involved but I can't get anything to work... Anyhelp is appreciated...

Ive seen and used a client/sever cog that does something like that...but it didnt have sparks. Sparks could be added easily. I cant remember the name of the level...but I know it was MotS multiplayer, and the author was Stawzie.

Heh, im working with jk, i dunno if the mots cog would work for it..

First of all, why do you only have TWO adjoins? That would be an ugly bridge. Flat, just 2 adjoins...you should use a 3do and move it like a door. It wouldn't look very nice if you shot a panel and the bridge just disappeared.

Try to look for that MotS cog..chances are it WILL work in JK. I couldn't imagine a bridge COG using any new MotS cog verbs...that stuff is the same (basic stuff).

Well, there is A point for the 2 adjoins...

Im using it as a way into a secret area,,, the bridge can be turned on or off...
