In theory, it should work

I just had an idea for creating two weapons on one key in JK. I haven't tested it, and I don't have a big enough project going to bother. Here's the idea:

In the items.dat we change, let's say, weap_saber.cog to weap_toggle.cog, then do this in weap_toggle.cog:

Code: 
selected:
if(selection = 0)
    {
      SendMessage(user0, weapon_A);
      selection = 1;
      Return;
    }
Else
    {
      SendMessage(user0, weapon_B
      selection = 2;
      Return;
    }


Back in the items.dat, we add two new bins, each flagged as a weapon, with their respective filenames. Like so:

Code: 
lightsaber              10              0       1       0x0a4   cog=weap_toggle.cog
lightsaber2              85              0       1       0x0a4   cog=weap_saber.cog
lightstaff              86              0       1       0x0a4   cog=weap_staff.cog


Then, in each weapon's cog, we place User0 right over Selected, like so:

Code: 
User0:
selected:
  assign = GetSenderRef();
  jkPrintUNIString(player, 10);


And there you have it!...in theory anyways. If anyone wants to try it out, be my guest.

Shred, of course you can! =P

If user0 gets called, it runs through the code. If selected gets called, it runs through the code. Just saves lines of code thats all. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif] LEC does it in some of their cogs.

Seems like it would work Tazz, give it a whirl. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

So far, nothing. I probably won't work on it much, but if anyone wants to take my idea and run with it, I'll zip up the .gob and send it to you.
