Using Playeraction to Change Actions
2002-11-08, 6:23 AM #1
It's been a while since I used playeraction, but I started to wrok on something today and hit a problem straight away. Basically, I want to make something happen when a certain control is pressed, but not what the control is actually intended for (e.g. when you jump, the cog makes you crouch instead). So can anyone tell me what's wrong with this cog please? When you press jump, instead of crouching, it still makes you jump. The message is printed to the console OK though.

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# playeraction.COG
#
# Why won't this work?!?
# 
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

symbols                                                         

message  entered
sector   startsec
message  playeraction

end                                                                           

# ========================================================================================

code

entered:

SetActionCog(GetSelfCog(),0x7fffffff);
return;

playeraction:

if(GetParam(0) == 0.0)             // Jump
{
print("Jumped, but should crouch!"); 
SetParam(0,1.0);
}
ReturnEx(1.0);
return;

# ........................................................................................

Code: 
if(GetParam(0) == 0.0)             // Jump
{
print("Jumped, but should crouch!"); 
SetParam(0,1.0);
ReturnEx(0.0);
}


That'll take care of the jumping bit.

Nope, still doesn't work. If I use that code it doesn't jump or crouch at all...

Edit: What I actually want to do is make it so that a screenshot is taken when the player enters a certain sector. I assume the only way to do this is to use SetActionCog() when the sector is entered, and then check for the player moving forward, backward or strafing (which is what he'll be doing when he steps in). Then I'll set the params so that a screenshot is taken when those actions are detected. This relies on the basic code working at all though [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Or you could just use the stupid entered message and use the screenshot verb thingy.

DOH! I didn't check the JK Specs well enough... I can use jkScreenshot();. Thanks for the help.
