That's my wallrun cog for the mod I'm making. SetPhysicsFlags(player, 0xd0) turns on WoW, clearphysicsflags(player, 0x90) turns it off. I know the thingthrust int is kinda low, but that's just for testing purposes.

I talked with Hell Raiser of TDiR, he has yet to find anything wrong with it, yet I can't get it to work for the life of me. Can somebody please offer some advice? Point out a flaw? Something they think is keeping the cog from working?

I don't see any errors, but I'd set the Pulse at the end of the startup message. Check the pthrust values, too. To do so, change the cog like this:


------------------
"Häb Pfrässe, süsch chlepfts!" - The coolest language in the world (besides Cherokee)

Well, I eventually got that system working, but now, per to request, they want it to only work every time you jump. -_-

That's all I have so far.
I'm working with Hell Raiser on it, but he constantly has to go somewhere.

This cog works perfectly, but it doesn't quite accomplish what I want to be done.

In this cog, it basically sets the WoW flag throughout your entire jump, lets it linger for 2 seconds after you land/attach, and then leaves a 2 second pause after clearing the flag, to try and prevent them from sticking to the wall again on the way down, because of the pulse.

What I need to know, is how I could conceivably stop the pulse untill the player lands again. The pulse sets the WoW flag just because a player is not attached to a surface.
So far, I have a 2 second pause after clearing 0x90, thereby removing the WoW flag. The pulse is also disabled, because after you clear 0x90 while they're on a wall, they fall, and because they're in the air, the pulse sets the WoW flag again, and they just stick back to the wall.

What I need is a method to disable the pulse untill the player lands again, then start it up again.

How could I conceivably do this?

Could you fire a projectile that when it hits the ground it gets the vector distance between it and the player and if its less than dada then it means the player is on the ground?

Is there a way to find out when the play touches a surface flagged with the floor flag? That would seem easier.

If you could find a surface touching the player, MANY things would be easier... [Inappropriate phrase removed]. . . .but it simply isnt possible....

geomods? how that?

No, no, forget there was any mention of that. Forget what I said. FORGET DAMNIT!

what did you mean at all? Geomods like in Red Faction? How would getting the surface touching the player help with that?

------------------
"Häb Pfrässe, süsch chlepfts!" - The coolest language in the world (besides Cherokee)

Nope, no geomods. There are no geomods. Imposible with Sith it is. No goemods for us. Forget any metion of it.

Well, you did mention it. Now explain...

No. If I did try to explain, all the Red Faction freaks would start pouring out of the walls, asking for geomod cogs...

Hey, don't forget about the editor's codex. What did you mean, man? Explain it, or I'll send some inquisitors after you. Noone breaks the editor's codex.

------------------
"Häb Pfrässe, süsch chlepfts!" - The coolest language in the world (besides Cherokee)

GAH! Not a surface touching the player, neccessarily, but any surface thouching ANY object. If it were possible, you could detect weapon impacts on world surfaces, and reset adjoins...the biggest possibility for geomods in Sith.

 

BUT IS ISNT POSSILE. AT ALL.

Very good idea, indeed. Mission aborted.

I SAID MISSION ABORTED. WHO IS THE COMMANDER HERE? Damn Inquisitors.

Geomods would have to use adjoins or 3dos. If you use 3dos you'll hit the thing limit rather quickly. If you use adjoins, you'll rapidly hit the adjoin limit (~125). It simply isn't feasible (or good-looking).

There is a general adjoin limit? I always thought there was only a limit for adjoins in view...

------------------
"Häb Pfrässe, süsch chlepfts!" - The coolest language in the world (besides Cherokee)

He means inview. Even with the TVTCS, using 3d0s would get very complicated, very fast . . . and cleaving the hell out of a corridor just isnt going to work. After you reset all of the adjoins, it would HOM...


Now, can we PLEASE STOP talking about this before someone catches wind?

I have done the geomod-cog! I'm gonna include it somewhere!
