Easy for those who know how of course.
I need a simple cog that makes a surface act as a switch that can be switched. When switched i need a sound played and a line of text printed.

Ta

You didn't specify anything about how/where you wanted the sound to be played, so this just plays the sound at the switch. The text is also displayed to everyone. If this is to be used in SP, you can change the "-3" to "-1". If you want it to only be displayed to the person who activated it (for MP purposes), change the "-3" to "GetSourceRef()".

It *should* work. I *didn't* test it.

Thanks. Its fine.

Soz actually, i shoulda said, is it possible to make the surface (switch) change to the switched form of itself (if you know what i mean) when switched?

Hmm..confusing

Modified Rishka's code:

symbols
surface switch
sound sound_to_play
message activated
Message Timer
end
code
activated:
if (GetSenderRef() != switch) Return; PlaySoundPos(sound_to_play, SurfaceCenter(switch), 0.6, -1, -1, 0);
Setwallcel(Switch, 1);
Settimer(Getsoundlen(Sound_to_play));
jkStringClear();
jkStringConcatAsciiString("PUT YOUR TEXT HERE");
jkStringOutput(-3, -1);
Return;
Timer: Setwallcel(Switch, 0); Stop;
end

That should do it....

Bah, GBK needs to learn the code tag.

Using the CODE tag causes problems when you try to copy the text - it doesnt preserve the line breaks.

Thats why all the text gets jumbled onto one line....

There are some ways around that... If there's not a whole lot of text/code, you can use reply-with-quote and then copy what's between the CODE tags and all your formatting is there. guess it all depends on personal preference.
