I need a cog that will make a light (thing) flicker on and off (like between two templates) when a player enters a sector. Thanks!

Message Startup

Sector Switch
Thing Ghost
Thing Player Local
Int I=0 Local
Int T=0 Local
End
Code
Startup:
Player = Getlocalplayerthing();
Setpulse(0.1);
Stop;
Pulse:
If(Getthingsector(Player) == Switch) {
If(I == 10) { I=0;
If(T == 0) {Setthinglight(Ghost, 1); T = 1; }
Else { Setthinglight(Ghost, 0); T = 0; } }
Else { I = I + 1; } }
Stop;
End

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

ok, the cog doesn't work. the light doesn't flicker and nothing happens. maybe if it had a ghost postition that the next template came at. if it helps, all it needs to do is go back and forth between templates, say 5 times, and then stop at the burned out light. Thanks!

Cogs. Gotta love 'em.

Code:

#11/2001 GBK
Symbols
Message Startup
Message Pulse
Sector Switch
Thing Light
Model Goodlight
Model Badlight
Flex Pulserate=0.5
Int I=0   Local
Int T=0   Local
End
Code
Startup: Setpulse(Pulserate); Stop;
Pulse: If(Getthingsector(Getlocalplayerthing()) == Switch) {
If(T == 0 && I != 10) { Setthinglight(Light, 1, 0.1); 
Setthingmodel(Light, Goodlight); T = 1; }
Else If(T == 1 && I != 10){  Setthinglight(Light, 0, 0.1); 
Setthingmodel(Light, Badlight);  T = 0; } 
If(I == 10) { Setpulse(0); Setthinglight(Light, 0, 0.1); 
Setthingmodel(Light, Badlight); T = 0; } 
I = I + 1; }
Stop;
End

Its a little sloppy, mainly because I dont have the time to cleam it up. But it should do.

Oh, yeah, BTW, It works, I tested it.

it worked, but it needs to include a light, like used in JED's light mode. thanks! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

JED's 'Light mode', and the objects it controls, do not transfer into the JKL. One cannot directly affect vertex lighting via cog. (AFAIK)
