many ghost locations
2003-02-20, 3:36 PM #1
I am making a cog that creates 50 different things at 50 different ghost locations.
Although the way i was gonna do it doesnt seem to allow for it. I was thinking of using an array but I guess I was wrong thinking you could do this with cogscript:

code

activated:
i=0;
dummy=Creatething(mything0, spot0);
call createnew;
return;

createnew:
newdummy=Creatething(mything, spot);
DestroyThing(dummy);
dummy=newdummy;
MoveToFrame(dummy, 1, speed);
WaitForStop(dummy);
i=i+1;
if (i==50) i=0;
call createnew;
Return;
end

What can i do? Plaese Helpp maaee. Playeeese Halllp.

Here try this. I didn't test it so I'm not sure if it works.

Code: 
   
activated:
	i=0;
	dummy=Creatething(mything0, spot0);
	call createnew;
	return;

createnew:
for(i=1; i<=50; i++)
{
	newdummy=Creatething(mything, spot);
	DestroyThing(dummy);
	dummy=newdummy;
	MoveToFrame(dummy, 1, speed);
 	WaitForStop(dummy);
}
	Return;
end

OMG! Now i see what I did wrong. Thanky.

I didn't include the "0" with the
mything0 and spot0.
I can be such a dufus sometimes.

I cant beleive you wrote all those variables out GBK!

Actully, I didnt. The "Symbol builder" in CogPad spit that out in less than a second.


Besides, that isnt where you screwed up. You mistake was believing that JK allows calls to loop. They do not. Once youve called a message once during a run, it cant be called again. Only after the code is finished running, (has hit the final 'Return'), can the message be called again. FORs, WHILEs, Pulses and Timers are the only way to make loops.

or you can use vectors (postions) and get the corresponding sectors to create the things using something like this (this is a TCS FYI)
Code: 
Activated:
   For(i=0; i<50; i++)
   {
      dummy = CreateThingAtPos(ghost, -1, spot, '0 0 0');
      sec = GetThingSector(ghost); // Get the ghost's sector, int.
      // This is for correct sector of the normal thing
      CreateThingAtPos(mything, sec, spot, '0 0 0');
      DestroyThing(dummy); // Remove the ghost
   }


That could work just as well, GBK knows about these things best.

Oh I see. Well that explains it. I've got cogpad on my desktop...perhaps its time I try using it!?

I dont need to check for the sector DP because The things are always in the same sector.

Anyone who has CogPad, redownload it... New version, less bugs, more fun.

Hey, what's wrong with my cog??? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
Oh, so you say I'm an amature since I forgot to have it check if the thing existed before destroying it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif]

Quite frankly, yes. Undefined variables always equal zero, so if you desytroy "T" when it was never defined, it destroys object zero, which is usually the player. Instant crash.


But, it was a joke. We are all amateurs, none of us do this proffessionaly.
