2002-04-03, 9:01 AM #1
im looking for a cog....im doing a startrekkie thing and it would be cool to have working replicators...so im trying to find a cog that when u activate a surface it creates an object at a ghost position...any body seen one? it can be used to dispense ammo.....or bacta tanks ...

There are tons of these types of cogs...

Code: 
# Star trek style object generator
#
# 03/2002 GBK - Packman573@aol.com
Symbols
Message Startup
Message Activated
Message Timer
Surface Switch
Thing Ghost
Template Type0		#3 object types, randomly selects from these.
Template Type1
Template Type2
Template Effect
Flex Create_delay=0.5	#Delay between effect, and creation of object.
Flex Reset_delay=1.0		#Pause until activation is allowed again.
Sound Beep
Int R=0			Local
End
Code
Startup: Setwallcel(Switch, 0); Stop;
Activated:
If(Getsenderref() != Switch || Getwallcel(Switch) != 0) Stop;
Setwallcel(Switch, 1);
Playsoundpos(Beep, Surfacecenter(Switch), 1, 0, 10, 0);
Creatething(Effect, Ghost);
Settimerex(Create_delay, 0, -1, -1);
Stop;
Timer: 
If(Getsenderid() == 0) {
R = Rand() * 3;
Creatething(Type0[R], Ghost);
Settimerex(Reset_delay, 1, -1, -1); }
Else Setwallcel(Switch, 0);
Stop;
End


It works, I tested it.

Do note, the switch has to be multi-celled. The entire operation of the cog depends on it.

If you have any difficulty installing the cog, reply with further queries.

the problem has nothing to do with the multicelled mat. But anyway:
A multicelled mat is easy to create. Fire up matmaster, load any switch material, extract it to .mtm/.bmp, delete the .bmps. Now take your own switch, convert it to .bmp. This is the first cel of your multicelled mat. Call it exactly like the first .bmp you just deleted. Then load this .bmp in an Image Editor (Paintshop, whatever) and create the second cel (it should look like the first cel, but should have some "activated" feeling, maybe you want to look at the .bmps you deleted before). Call that .bmp like the second one you deleted before. Now make sure you have the two new .bmps and the .mtm in the same folder and go back to matmaster. There, you choose open and select the .mtm (you might have to change the dropdown list to "show .mtm"). Convert it to .mat and save it anywhere. Rename it, and there you have your multicelled switch.

I just noticed that your problem could though be because of the lack of a second cel...

I wasnt kidding. If the switch material isnt multicelled, the cog wont work.

for your phaser mod, I suggest you have a look at laser guns, such as the ones in GaS or PWP2...
