Don't you hate titles that tell you nothing of what is in the thread? Anyway:
I'm new to cogging. okaay
So can someone write me a cog where it changes the textures on the player? Its simple but i can't figure it out?!
And can someone show me a cog that changes the camera position?
Plz!

You can't change the textures on a player through a cog, but you can change the player's model to an identical model with a different skin. That would produce the effect of chaning textures.

The function that'll do that is SetThingModel(thing, model).

Okey Dokey, but that doesn't mean much to me. It seems like a simple cog though, so can someone help?

>You can't change the textures on a player through a cog,

Haven't tested it, but I think you can use SetMaterialCel() to change a material directly so all things that use the material will be affected - including things like the player.

Yep. 'Setmaterialcel()' is global, meaning archi, sprites, 3d0s, EVERYTHING with that material, the celnum is changed.

You didn't say how you wanted the material to change, but the cog below demonstrates how the material can be changed.

Code: 
# mathotkey.cog
#
# Change a material's cels when the hotkey is pressed.
#
# [SM]
#======================================================================#
symbols

message	activated
message	startup

int		count			local
int		numCels=3		local
material	mat=yourMat.mat	local

end
#======================================================================#
code
#----------------------------------------------------------------
startup:
	count=0;

Return;
#----------------------------------------------------------------
activated:
	count=count+1;
	if(count > numCels) count=0;
	SetMaterialCel(mat, count);

Return;
#----------------------------------------------------------------
end


If you haven't already, you'll have to replace the player's mats with a multi-celled mat. Put the name of the mat in the symbols and give numCels the real number of cels in your multi-celled mat.

There you go. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
