I need 2 cogs, and one i think is kind of simple.

(1.)a cog that when you press a button a printed line of text appers

(2.)(If i don't get this cog from GBK in the mail first), a cog that plays a cutsceene when the level starts and goes off when it ends. When the level starts i want a printed line of text then a blackout, with the sound of kyle dying.

I need #2 first cuz i need to see if the ghost is in the right position.

Ill get that cutscene cog to you in a bit.

Code:

#12/2001 GBK
Symbols
Message Activate
Surface Switch
Sound Beep
Int Only_once=0      #Allow activation only once?  0 = no.
Int Play_sound=0      #Play sound?  0 = no.
Int UNI_num=201      #UNI string number.
Int Lock=0     Local
End
Code
Activate:
If(Only_once == 0 && Lock == 1) Stop;
Lock = 1;
JKPrintunistring(JKgetlocalplayer(), UNI_num);
If(Play_Sound != 0) {
Playsoundglocal(Beep, 1.0, 0.0, 0); }
Setwallcel(Switch, 1); Sleep(0.5);
Setwallcel(Switch, 0); 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]

To set the UNI string:

Hit F8 to bring up the episode editor.

Click on 'Edit strings'.

Type 'COG_201' into the 'Key' box.

Type the message you want to appear into the 'String' box.

Click on 'Add/Update'.

Close the strings editor, and save the episode.

If you used a different number, other than 201, update it accordingly into the 'UNI_num' variable.

I should've said, I need them to be simple, very simple.

Here is that cutscene.

Code:

# 11/2001 GBK
Symbols
Message Startup
Flex Sleeptime=1
Int UNI_num=10101	#UNI string number.
Sound Kyle_die=kylgnb.wav	#'Sound of Kyle dying'...
Int I=0		Local
Thing Player		Local
End
Code
Startup:
Sleep(1.0);
Player = JKgetlocalplayer();
JKprintunistring(Player, UNI_num);
Setactorflags(Player, 0x400000);
Playsoundlocal(Kyle_die, 1.0, 0.0, 0);
Sleep(Sleeptime);
JKendlevel(1);
Stop;
End

It works, I tested it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]
