I bet you can't make this cog...

I am planning on having this bridge in my next level and I want it so it can only have on player on it at one time. If there is more than one the bridge collapses.

I don't need that bet. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

But, in the level you should have a surface on 1 side of the bridge and another at the end of the bridge which are passable.

On those surfaces have a cog with crossed message like this.

As for "playerType" I forgot, but it says in the thing type flag section of the jkspec in the flag section.

Set the 2 crossing surface of the bridge on this cog.

Code: 
symbols


int playerInside local
surface bridgeSurfaceA
surface bridgeSurfaceB


message crossed
message trigger


end


code


crossed:


   if(GetSourceType() != playerType) return;


   if(playerInside != -1 && playerInside != GetSourceRef())
   {
       //blow the bridge
       SendTrigger(-1, 987654, -1, 0, 0, 0);
   }
   else
   {
      if(playerInside == -1) SendTrigger(-1, 987654, GetSourceRef(), 0, 0, 0);

      else SendTrigger(-1, 987654, -1, 0, 0, 0);
   }


   return;


trigger:


   if(GetSourceRef() == 987654) playerInside = GetParam(0);


   return;


end


If the bridge is simple enough to use as a sector you may try "entered" and "exited" message on the sector, which should be easier than this.

I know what you're doing! I know what you're doing! I bet this is for a Jurrassic Park III Mod, isn't it? I derived that from your sig, and the fact that i saw that movie last night [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif] I believe it's from the scene where they have to cross over the birdcage-bridge thingy. Am i right?
