I never could get that new weapons selection system to work.

Code: 
# Xan_Weap.cog
#
# weapTrig param0 (1 = mount, 0 = dismount)
# pickTrig param0 (weapNum slot)
# pickTrig param1 (weapNum value)
#
# [Grismath]

int	weapNum2=-1	local

int	weapTotal=3	local	// Total Weapons
int	X=0		local

end
#======================================================================================#

#--------------------------------------------------------
startup:
 SetActionCog(GetSelfCog(), 0x7FFFFFFF);
return;

playeraction:
 if(GetParam(0)==7) {
 // Weapon Key
  if(GetParam(2)==13) {
   for(X = 0; X < weapTotal; X = X + 1) {
    if(weapNum0==X || X!=-1) {
	SendTrigger(-1, weapTrigX, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	SendTrigger(-1, weapTrig0[X], 1, 0, 0, 0);
   }}}
  if(GetParam(2)==14) {
   for(X = 0; X < weapTotal; X = X + 1) {
    if(weapNum1==X || X!=-1) {
	SendTrigger(-1, weapTrigX, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	SendTrigger(-1, weapTrig0[X], 1, 0, 0, 0);
   }}}
  if(GetParam(2)==15) {
   for(X = 0; X < weapTotal; X = X + 1) {
	SendTrigger(-1, weapTrigX, 0, 0, 0, 0);
	SendTrigger(-1, weapTrig0[X], 1, 0, 0, 0);
   }}}
  }
return;
#--------------------------------------------------------
trigger:
 for(X = 0; X < weapTotal; X = X + 1) {
  if(GetSourceRef()==pickTrig0[X]) {
   print("Pick up weapon");
   if(GetParam(0)==0) weapNum0=GetParam(1);
   if(GetParam(0)==1) weapNum1=GetParam(1);
   if(GetParam(0)==2) weapNum2=GetParam(1);
 }}
return;
#--------------------------------------------------------
end


I then added the following code to the relevant weapon cogs:

Code: 
trigger:
 if(GetSourceRef()==dismTrig) {
  call user1;
 }
 if(GetSourceRef()==weapTrig) {
  if(GetParam(0)==1) call user2;
  if(GetParam(0)==0) call user1;
 }
return;


AND made new pickup cogs for these weapons:

Code: 
# XANTHUS REVISED
#  Pick_Broad.cog
#   - Broadsword
# [Grismath]
# ========================================================================================

thing       powerup                          local

int         bin=2                            local
int         ammobin=11                       local

flex        amount                           local


message     touched
message     taken
message     respawn

end

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

code

touched:
   player = GetSourceRef();

   if (GetThingType(player) == 10)  // Can only be taken by players.
   {
      if(IsMulti() || (GetInv(player, GetWeaponBin(bin)) == 0))
      {
         TakeItem(GetSenderRef(), -1);
         call taken;
      }
   }
   Return;

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

taken:
   player = GetSourceRef();
   powerup = GetSenderRef();

   // Do effects.
   PlaySoundLocal(pickupsnd, 1, 0, 0);
   AddDynamicTint(player, 0.0, 0.0, 0.2);

   if(GetInv(player, GetWeaponBin(bin)) == 0)
   {
      ChangeInv(player, GetWeaponBin(bin), 1.0);
   }

   Return;

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

respawn:
   PlaySoundThingLocal(respawnsnd, GetSenderRef(), 0.6, 5.0, 10.0, 0);

   Return;

end


None of this works. I want the player to be able to carry a maximum of two weapons (and his fists), which can then be changed by a weapon drop/throw cog.

I was actually thing about a similar system. I was going to have different player classes be able to carry different amounts of weapons.

But I don't really want to implement it, because the way I was thinking of doing I was going to use a single bin that would represent the weight of their inventory. Of course missing one subtract somewhere would have a similar effect to a memory leak.

By the way...what exactly do you mean by none of this works? Are you unable to pick up weapons...select them?
2002-11-18, 12:02 PM #5
I can pick them up, but the selection system doesn't work.

And I have a weapon weight cog.
