cog problem
2002-01-18, 1:46 PM #1
I made a music cog, but it isn't working. It s supposed to start the channel as soon as you spawn, but what happens, is that it plays the punching sound over and over, and if you hit the activate button, it prints the message, and then starts playing the sound when a bryar bolt hits over and over. Pls help.
Code: 
 # Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# muscic2.cog
#
# Plays music on the user's computer localy.
#
# 

symbols

thing		player			

sound		musicSound=music.wav		local
int         channel=-1				local
int		music=0

message	startup
message	activated
message	killed


end

# ========================================================================================

code 

startup:

   player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
   channel = PlaySoundlocal(music, 1.0, 0, 0x181);

       Return;

# ========================================================================================

activated:

   if(music == 0)
   {
	Print("Music OFF");
   	StopSound(channel, 0.1);
   	channel = -1;
	music = 1;
   }

   if(music == 1)
   {
	Print("Music ON");
	channel = PlaySoundlocal(music, 1.0, 0, 0x181);
	music = 0;
   }
       Return;
# ========================================================================================

killed:

   call stop_power;

       Return;
# ========================================================================================

stop_power:
   if(channel != -1)
   {
      StopSound(channel, 0.1);
      channel = -1;
   }

   	 Return;

end

thanks

Well, could anybody tell me what's wrong with the cog? I checked the syntax with cogwriter, and there's nothing wrong there, so could anybody tell me waht's freaking it out?

You need to be playing musicSound instead of the music integer.

So replace:
Code: 
PlaySoundlocal(music, 1.0, 0, 0x181);


with:
Code: 
PlaySoundlocal(musicSound, 1.0, 0, 0x181);


And if there are no other errors with your cog, it will play your music.

BTW, Cogwriter is only checking syntax. If your cog had a syntax error , it wouldn't run.

Thanks, It works just fine, I did have to tweak it, so that instead of the two if statements, I just did one and an else statement. That made my day thanks [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
