I've got an IMPORTENT MESSAGE for you guys

Posts: 359

My friend has talked me into doing a level and in it lines of text appear as you cross adjoins. I've already made a cog that will print a line of text but I'm having to make a new cog for each new massage!

What I need is a cog that displays a line of text from cogstrings.uni when you cross an adjoin. It needs to have a delay from when you cross the adjoin to when it displays it.
If you can make a cog that displays a line of text after a delay and then another line of text after another delay I would be very happy :-)
The cog is for a JK SP level.

Thank you very much.

If you got the COG already working, just make a little modification to the crossed message:

Code:

crossed:
if (GetSenderRef()==SurfaceToCross1)
   {
   // Here goes the code part where you wait and print the message
   }
if (GetSenderRef()==SurfaceToCross2)
   {
   // Here goes the code part where you wait and print another message
   }
// ...and so on... as often as you need
return;

That's it pretty basic. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
