Cog request, I really need it.

I've made a weapon like a saw, now what I need is so that when it touches another person, it will cause damage, and when it touches a wall it will throw sparks, and you don't have to use either fire buttons, I'm not sure if that is possible, is it?
I also want to have it so that when the player swings it, (I'll do the keys, don't worry about that.) it'll do damage or throw sparks.

Please help.

Oh, and I also need it to be playing a keyframe of the blade spinning in 1st person view.

Well, first you could make a tpl like this:

Code: 
+sawslash           _weapon            size=.001 movesize=.001 mass=25 explode=+rpt_sparks fleshhit=+rptfleshhit damage=10 damageclass=0x1 typeflags=0x200d range=.15 force=25


Then in the weapon cog you could set a pulse for 50ms that fires the +sawslash projectile.

To make it play a key you could first add this to the symbols section of your cog:

Code: 
keyframe pSawSwing1=<your first pov swing key>.key local
keyframe pSawSwing2=<your second pov swing key>.key local

keyframe sawSwing1=<your first extern swing key>.key local
keyframe sawSwing2=<your second extern swing key>.key local


Then you could set your fire: message to this:

Code: 
fire:
   player = GetSourceRef();

   // Check that the player is still alive.
   if(GetThingHealth(player) <= 0)
      Return;

	SendMessageEx(GetThingClassCog(GetLocalPlayerThing()), user1, 3, 0, 0, 0);

   SetPOVShake('0.0 -.003 0.0', '1.0 0.0 0.0', .05, 80.0);
   jkPlayPOVKey(player, POVswing1Anim[mode], 1, 0x38);
   PlayKey(player, swing1Anim[mode], 1, 0x38);

   powerBoost = GetInv(player, 63);
   ChangeFireRate(player, fireWait/powerBoost);
Return;


To have it play a keyframe of the blade spinning in POV you can add this to the symbols section:

Code: 
keyframe pBladeSpin1=<your blade spinning key>.key local

int spinID=-1 local


Then add this to the selected: message:

Code: 
 if (spinID != -1)
  StopKey(player, spinID, 0.0);
 spinID = jkPlayPOVKey(player, pBladeSpin1, 1, 0x1);


And this to the deselected: message:

Code: 
 if (spinID != -1)
  StopKey(player, spinID, 0.25);
 spinID = -1;


I haven't tested this and it might not work, so if you use this you should probably backup your weapon cog.

Thanks
