Goal COG Only Partially Functional
2002-04-26, 8:27 AM #1
The following goal cog was initially created by the Goal! PlugIn. It only completes goals 0 and 5. The remaining goals do not check off even though, for example, the activation of the surface in question does trigger another cog. The goals that are intially hidden do not appear. Is it a problem for the activation of a surface to be triggering both a cutscene and the completion of a goal? I don't think it would be.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

You need to define all of your messages in the symbols section. Also, you should uncomment some of those returns.

To explain: When an event occurs, JK looks to the symbols section to see if the cog uses that message. Then JK looks in the code for the position of the message. JK runs all code between the message name and the next return or stop statement.

There's a rare but occassionally observed bug in GOAL! (first doccumented by yours truely). If you set up several goals with different triggers, it sometimes doesn't list all the messages at the start of the cog. All you have to do is initialize the message statements and it starts working.
