Alittle while ago, I got a cog off this forum, but I've only been able to try it lately due to techinal difficulties. But, the thing is, it doesn't work. Could anyone please correct this cog for me, thats if it's even wrong at all. Thanks.

killed:

If(Getthinghealth(Victem0) != 0 || Getthinghealth(Victem1) != 0) Stop;
JKendlevel(1);
Stop;
End

Does this work:

Yeah, it was trying to use two variables that don't exist.

Hmm, thats strange. I am practically the only cogger that actully uses 'Stop', and I dont remimber writing that cog.

 

BTW, you might want to add a 'Sleep(1);' between the conditional and the 'JKendlevel()'. Otherwise, the level will terminate emmedietly upon killing the second actor.


 

This makes me curious, who else uses 'Stop'? I would like to know.

If I recall correctly Seifer has used stop; in a few cogs he's given me.

I meant religiously. Constantly. Although any usage might be considered.

 

Anyone else?

Does 'stop' stop the cog from functioning altogether? Or is it an alias for 'return'?

Actully, 'Return' is an alias for 'Stop', as 'Stop' was used in the earliest LEC cogs. As far as I can tell, it does the exact same thing.

 

I am just curious as to if anyone else uses it as I do.

Thanks again.

GBK, I think you did write this cog, but it was a coupple of months ago.

Oh, one more thing. How would I change the sleep time?

Add Sleep(x); before jkEndLevel, where x is the time in seconds to wait before ending.

The return; statement quits the block of code that the cog is running. Within a cog, like the door cogs, there can be a branch to another block of code, like "call movedoors;"
then the return; statement brings the cog back to the first block of code.

Maybe stop; is a bit different in stopping the cog entirely? (can't get to the JKSpecs currently to check.)

I can safely say it does not. I have used 'Stop' exclusively for several monthes, in several hundered cogs, and I have found no problems in it preforming the job of 'Return'.


Very interestings, though, that I am practically the only cogger that uses this command.
