Random explosions

I need a cog that generates random explosions in a sector when a button is pushed for my new level, "The Resturant at the End of the Universe".

There is a cog, from level 16 I believe, that does that.

Actually, there is a cog called dropbomb.cog, and if you assign a console as the switch and have loads of ghost templates with detonator explosions, that would work. You'd need about 30 ghosts though, but it would work. The cog is...
Quote:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
# Drop/Fire any templates (i.e. TDs, Mines, etc.) at the flick of a switch -up to 4 at a time.

playsoundglobal(warn, 1, 0, 132);
Sleep(1.5);
dummy = PlaySoundPos(on_snd, switch, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 0);


cur_round = 0;
while(cur_round < rounds)
{
dummy = CreateThing(proj_tpl, tdg1);
Sleep(rate);
dummy = CreateThing(proj_tpl, tdg2);
Sleep(rate);
dummy = CreateThing(proj_tpl, tdg3);
Sleep(rate);
dummy = CreateThing(proj_tpl, tdg4);
Sleep(rate);

cur_round = cur_round + 1;
}

Sleep(delay);
dummy = PlaySoundPos(off_snd, switch, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 0);
firing = 0;
Return;

end

Hope that helps.

Bah! Thats just a slightly modified version of LEC's TD trap cog.

Try this one on for size..

End

If(Lock == 0) { Setpulse(Pulse_rate); Lock=1; }
Else { Setpulse(0); Lock=0; } }
Stop;
Pulse:
R=Rand()*10;
While(R >=3) { R=Rand()*10; }
Creatething(Type0[R], Ghost0[Rand()*10]);
Stop;
End



I dont know if it works, I just typed it into the box. But it should... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]


This one allows for 10 ghosts, and 4 templates. It runs off a pulse, set by 'Pulse_rate'. It randomly selects a template, and ghost position.
