SetInv when someone dies..

When the player kills someone, how do I make the player get more of a certain item? I mean, should I modify kyle.cog or something like that? or should I make a powerup cog?

I had a problem like that when i made Aftermath 4, i couldn't figure out how i'd do that so i just added the item to backbag cog...

I had some problems getting it work, though...

I have tried escaping two times,
Both times i got caught and returned to my cage...

Thanks, that's a good idea... But why didn't it work? If it don't work I guess I will need another solution...

BAH! This is a chinch, and can be done in a plain ole' level cog.

Use 'Killed' to determine when the enemie is killed, then use 'Setinv' to set your item:

Code:

Killed:
If(Getsenderref() == Enemie) {
Setinv(Player, BIN_num, Getinv(Player, BIN_num) + 1); }
Stop;

Bingo, problem solved.

okay i'm stupid, I know, but here's my very first cog I've made from scratch... and something is wrong... It's supposed to make the player able to "buy" a weapon when he press activate on a surface.. this is for the crossbow... it didn't work(as i expected)...

Code:

symbols

message	activated

thing		player				   local
surface	shotgunbuy linkid=1
flex		shotguncost=30			   local

end

#-----------------------------------------------------------

activated:

	player=GetSourceRef();
	shotgunbuy=GetSenderRef();

	if(GetInv(player, 119) => shotguncost)
	{
	SetInv(player, 5, 1);
	SetInv(player, 119, -30);
	}
	else
	jkPrintUNIString(player, 120);

	Return;

end

If you had studied COG syntax more closely, you would realize that there is suppolse to be a 'CODE' line to signify the start of the code. I see no such line in your cog.

In other words, the syntax is as follows:

Code:

Symbols

Message Any

End

Code

//Crap goes here.

End

That should solve your problem.
