I'm trying to make a cog that gives the player infinite force mana. I made the cog but I havent figured out how to give the player infinite mana. please help!

Run an array, inside a pulse, setting all the force power's bin values at max.

------------------
Success is the inverse relationship between effort, gain, and loss.

To give the player infinite mana, open up the items.dat and look at bin 14. Change the max from 400 to whatever is high enough for you. Then open up force_well.cog and take out this line:


That will stop the cog from limiting the player's max mana. That should be all you have to do to make the mana infinite.

thanks for the help.

this worked in my test but just to make sure is there any reason this cog might cause trouble?

message activated

code
activated:
player = GetSourceref();
if (GetWallCel(switch)==1) return;
SetWallCel(switch,1);
Setpulse(pulse01);
Sleep(.5);
SetWallCel(switch,0);
return;

pulse:
if (GetInv(player, 14) < GetInv(player, 20) * 50)
SetInv(player, 14, GetInv(player, 20) * 50);
return;

shutdown:
Setpulse(0);
return;

end

By trouble do you mean "not work" or "not pass checksum"? Somehow, I have the feeling it's the latter..

what is checksum?

lmao !

Somebody post that Checksum Tut please....

Jipe, I doubt he's trying to pass checksum because that cog is activated by a switch.

PCC: What are you trying to do with that cog? That pulse is going to continually set the player's mana to rank*50. It's not going to make the mana "infinite"; instead, it's going to make the mana undepletable. Or maybe that's what you want..

Sleep() is a bad verb to use there. Your cog may crash if you activate the switch before the sleep ends. I think it's better to use a timer instead.

Why are you ending the pulse when you complete the level? It's not like it's going to keep pulsing.

------------------
It's not for nothing Santa's red...

Lol. Attack of the ghost pulse...

that cog does what I wanted it to do. I have never had a problem with that switch setup I got it from a cog from the JK cd and the same for the end pulse thing!

Yeah, LEC did a whole lot of things that shouldnt be repeated. There is NO need, whatsoever, to kill a pulse before ending a level. The pulse is killed automatically at shutdown.
