Push a box & Move in vector
2003-03-02, 4:51 AM #1
Hi!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think these are more of COG questions than anything else.
\
1) Push a box: Is there a way in a COG to like
/ when you punch a box it will move in that direction?
I don't mean like the throwables, I mean like
in a sockoban like game, punch a box and it
will change position by 10 meters in the direction
you punched it in. Ever played OXYD?
\
2) Move in vector: Is there a way to like,
/ you are on an object that is looking in the
same direction as you, and when you
activate it it will simply move in the direction
it is facing in until you activate it again?

/Edward

hmm... Push the box can be maked when you set box parent as _actor - and nothink more. It will move when you attack it or push.

I think that Cog for this will be simple

Well, you could attach a cog to the crate and apply force to it in it's damaged message.
The second cog should also be possible. Maybe GBK or Descent_pilot will give it a try...

Making it an actor would work best. You can set it's health to -1 or 99999999 or whatever, blank out the SNDs, PUPs, etc. Then adjust the mass to make it move slower or faster when hitting it. More realistic and dynamic than having a COG move it.

Yeah, making it an actor would be the *easiest* way.....

I need to get to Massassi more. For you request, I had a quick go at it. Here are the untested results.
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# This is a level cog for the box, not a class cog
#
# [DP]
#
symbols
thing          box
float          rate=0.1
float          speed=1
int            on=0               local
vector         moveVector         local
message        activated
message        pulse
end

code
Activated:
   If(on)
   {
      SetPulse(0);
      Return;
   }
   SetPulse(rate);
   moveVector = GetThingLVec(GetLocalPlayerThing());
   Return;

Pulse:
   ApplyForce(box, VectorScale(moveVector, speed));
   Return;
end
Hope it works like ya want it to.

It's also the most realistic and the most dynamic.

ThingLight(thing,amount,duration);

Have a scene, have no light in it, have your cameras in place, and then your first line of code will be:
Code: 
ThingLight(cam1,0.0,0.01);
sleep(1);
ThingLight(cam1,10,3);
sleep(3);

You've done this SetThingLight before? Or is it just an improvement in MOTS?

HAY! the COG I got did not work! I tried it with a bed! Tell me, was that COG made for JK or MOTS? I'm using JK!

Why do people always blame the cogger? sheez. Can't we all, just, get along? As stated the problem isn't me, its your choice in objects. The bed, it has a move=path in its template, what you need as a move=physics in your template. There are also a few other verbs (RotatePivot) that require the move to be a certan selection.
