Scary
2002-11-28, 6:30 AM #1
Its very scary when a cog, clean checked by Parsec, just flat out refuses to work. NO print statements appear, nothing moves. It just simply won't work! I'd bet its something small, that I missed and it'll make me look n00bish, but I jsut can't get it to work. And watch my useage of the w00tage code tags
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# SECRET_ELEV.cog
#
# Elevator under the bed in Inflitration. Moves by touched and the call switch.
# Bed moves at same speed as elevator.
#
# [DP]

A guess in the dark, but I know certain words are reserved and using them as variables in not allowed.

For example you can't use something like

STOP = GetTHingModel(player);

because stop; is a verb.

I think you using 'call' as a variable
might be conflicting with the call function.

Example:

call stop_power;

[http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif] yep, that'd be it. I always seem to forget the call verb. Spare me the lecture. I understand more about cog then you've just given me credit for.

I once tried using return as an integer... but lets not go into that.

Try using '//' for your comments instead of '#' in the code section [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

James Bond type of elevator. It's above the upside down topside of the bed. ( For those who can't figure out what that means, like me, its under the bed. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] ) Bet'cha didn't expect that!
