I'm not gay, but I'll learn.

Ok, I've been editing jk for 1,5 years now, and frankly I still suck with cogging...

This time is the first time I tried making a if, else statement, so that's probably where I went wrong.

The idea:
Teleport, but after a button is shot it teleports to a different location.

The preperation:
We take s5l4_teleport.cog as a base.

The work:
We *try to make it do the things we want it to do*. I came up with this, which *obviously [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]* doesn't work. (I'm surprisingly good in making non functional cogs [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]) (Syntax checker keeps silent, as usual...)

IT SHOULD WORK NOW.

Oh I'll try the cog In a minute...

[edit: one minute later] Hmm, does alot more then my cog but doesn't quite do it yet.
1) Somehow in both cases it teleports to newspot2. Weird, perhaps I should add a startup and do a SetWallCell(button, 0); first?
2) The button seems to only take damage from the lightsaber, how could I make sure a simple blasterbolt does the trick?

Thanks alot (again)!

It still had problem 1, though I don't see why, but I solved it by changing, GetWallCel(button) == 0 into != 1, and then it worked. Weird.
Thanks alot.

The problem I see is that in symbols there is:
surface button Mask=0x448
But in the code there is:
Startup: Setwallcel(Switch, 0); Stop;

The surface name needs to be the same in both places (either "button" or "Switch").
Then the function: Setwallcel(Switch, 0); will work properly.

Oops, my fault.

But its strange. It has been my expiriance, that any of the 'wallcel' verbs will crash if the specified variable is incorrect or nonexistant.... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

The thing I had trouble with before was that a cog can't check a wallcel, getwallcel(switch), unless you use the setwallcel() function in the startup.
