Changing Skins In-Game
2002-08-28, 10:52 AM #1
I know I've seen this done before, but I've never could figure out how to get it done on my own.

I suppose it's relatively simple. When the player crosses an adjoin, I'd want it to instantly change the model/skin to a predetermined one.

Like I said, I know this is possible, I've just haven't been able to suceed.

#======================================================================================#
code
#--------------------------------------------------------
crossed:
if(passed==0) {
 if(GetSenderRef()==crossSurf) SetThingModel(GetLocalPlayerThing(), changer);
 passed=1;

Thanks a bunch.

[EDIT:] Uh...I can't get it to work. Is there anything specific I need to do, like change the cog to fit my exact needs?

Oops, heh, I had one too many local symbols.

Uh...it works. But for some reason it only changes the player into a bacta tank. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

Any way to fix this?

Make sure that 'changer' isn't defined as the bacta tank model in JED.

I did that. No matter what model I assign it to, it still changes the player into a bacta tank.

Open up your JKL and search for "section: cogs". You should see your new cog in the list. Make sure the model listed after the cog on the same line is the model you selected and not bact.3do.

If you see bact.3do, JED is to blame. If not, then you have a more general problem with your level.

If you still can't get it to work, try using LoadModel("yourModel.3do") instead of the changer variable in the cog.
