I tried to whip up a quick driving cog for my new van 3do, but it doesn't seem to do anything at all...

Quote:

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
symbols

thing vanpark
template vandrive
template ghost
int driving=1 local
sound honk=accomplish1.wav
message activated
message playeraction

end

# ========================================================================================

code

startup:
SetActionCog(GetSelfCog(), 0x7fffffff);
player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
return;

activated:
if(GetSenderRef == vanpark) {
SetThingModel(vanpark, ghost);
SetThingModel(player, vandrive);
driving = 1;
}
return;

playeraction:
if(driving == 1) {
if(GetParam(0) == 0) {
print("Honk! Honk!");
playsoundlocal(honk, 1, 0, 0x0);
ReturnEx(0);
}
else ReturnEx(1);
}
return;

The reason nobody is helpin you is probably because nobody has ever been able to drive vehicles, at least not that i have heard of...

Try adding, 'message startup' to the symbols section.

It still doesn't seem to work... I think it's a flaw in the whole making of the cog.

There is something wrong with the startup setactioncog , as you define driving as being 1 at the start , meaining if you tryed to activate what ever calls getparam(0) , it would spark it anyway.

I have to get off right now , but don't fear , I will help you in the morning

Ohh what the heck i'll just take a quick look through it now ...

Lets see ... is it acculy calling the activated message at all ??

Next have up there in the symbols section ghost and vandrive as templates, they should be models if you look toward your activated part.

Also you should define driving as being 0, not 1 [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

[http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Lastly are you sure that the playeraction flags are right ???
Also player is not defined as a thing inside the symbols section.

Hmm... well...

activated:
if(driving == 1)

Shouldn't it be if(driving == 0)? Because in symbols, you defined "driving" as 0, and there's no other way to change that value, unless of course you start driving.

No, you can't be that blind!
"local" is needed after "thing player" in the symbols section...

Sometimes the problem can be in the order of the messages in symbols list.
You should try putting them in order
(message startup
message activated
message playeraction)
This is the right order.
Then other thing that could cause it might be model ghost.
since there allready is template ghost in JK, it may cause problems... You should try and rename it as... model phantom [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

problem could be:

if(GetSenderRef == vanpark)

it needs to be

if(GetSenderRef() == vanpark)

Hope that helps!
