Need help on this cog!
2001-07-09, 12:21 AM #1
Hi, I need help on this cog, I need it to play a song from a designated thing, then, when the thing is damaged, play a different song, this is what I have:

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# 00_CANTINASONG.COG
#
# Plays the cantina song from a location
# Made for the Dark Order's Training Base level
#
# [DingusFett]
#
# (c) 2001 DingusFett's Productions

symbols


message     startup                    
message     damaged                    
sound     song                    
sound     broken
thing     speakers                    
flex     volume                    
flex     mindist=0                    
flex     maxdist                    

end

# ========================================================================================
code
startup:

PlaySoundThing(song, speakers, volume, mindist, maxdist, 0x1);


damaged:

PlaySoundThing(broken, speakers, volume, mindist, maxdist, 0x1);

# ........................................................................................

end


So far, it just plays both songs at the same time [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] can somebody please help me fix this, this is for my current level, in production. I also need it so that once the thing(speakers) is damaged, it creates sparks coming from the speakers.

Thanks in advance, Dingus Fett.
Dont ask me how it works, it just does.

k, I'm no expert, but I it's obviously running both messages at the same time. The reason for this as far as I can tell is that you haven't established a health amount for the thing. You then have to have the damaged message check the things health, and not run if it's at full. I am pretty much a newbie, so you might wanna wait for a second opinion.

Cynic (sin'ik) n. One of a sect of ancient Greek philosophers who held that virtue is the ultimate goal of life, their doctrine gradually coming to symbolize insolent self-righteousness.

I think it's because you forgot to return. =)

e.g.
Code: 
startup:
PlaySoundThing(song, speakers, volume, mindist, maxdist, 0x1);
return;
damaged:
PlaySoundThing(broken, speakers, volume, mindist, maxdist, 0x1);
return;


Also, in startup:, you may want to add CaptureThing(speakers);

Normally thing declared in the symbol to be assigned in level editors only recieves minimum messages (not including damaged).

In order to recieve damaged messages you need to mask it in the symbols like this.

thing speakers mask=0xfff

This way it should return damaged message when it gets damaged.

It *might* help to stop the old sound in the damaged section before starting the new one.
