Is it possible to prevent "Press Fire to Restart Level"...?
2002-02-23, 2:53 AM #1
I'm working on a SP level and I'd like to respawn the player somewhere in the level when he gets killed...
But the problem is, when the player gets killed, the message "Press Fire to Restart Level" appears.
Does anyone have suggestions/ideas about this prob? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Thanks,

An extremely simple cog that will automatically quicksave the game upon entrance into any of the 4 sectors.

 

Credit me. :)

If you just want to get rid of that message you could edit the sithstrings.uni file.

Not sure if you can just remove it completely, but you could atleast remove the text and it would post blank line then.

I believe tbere's an already existing LEC cog that does *exactly* the same thing. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

I am aware of no such cog. And besides, it couldnt possibly match the simplicity and ease of use of mine!

Remember that an autosave is not a quicksave. Quicksaves are stored to a file and can be loaded while autosaves are only temporary. An autosave is discarded when the level ends.

...this comes from the guy who uses nested for loops and arrays with 2 elements. You should not be allowed to COG.

Have you ever actully used that cog? Below is the actual code from that cog.


Code: 
entered:
   // SetRespawn(GetSourceRef(), GetSenderID());
   return;

startup:
   SetPulse(30);
   Return;

pulse:
   Print("Waypoints should be removed !!!");
   Return;

end



1) It doesnt use 'Autosavegame()'.

2) All it does it print 'Waypoints should be removed!' every 30 seconds.

3) No, I did not modify the code. Crack Res2 open, and see for yourself.


(Btw, that cog is © LEC...)

That seems to be an early cog that LEC left in the cog directory for some reason. SetRespawn() isn't a verb so the cog can't work.

There are other old, disfunctional cogs in the Res2 so it's not unusual.
