Character KEY Update help...
2003-05-24, 9:53 AM #1
OK, I know the title makes you think that I should post this somewhere else, but I'm making KEY updates for ALL the characters, and I need a cog that will activate a KEY (in this case, stsurrender.KEY) when you point a powerful gun at an enemy with very low health, and makes him have no weapon, plus a gun appears below him (as if he dropped it)

FULL cog please, I need to use all my time to make the KEY files, I can't piece together cog scraps and get them to work.

Also, I might make an injured.KEY, so when you shoot them they move slower. I have the skill to get that done, but I might post here to ask for help, so please check back occassionally.

The weapons you consider 'powerful' I may not.

Ahh, a fine question. Here lies the solution. (sorry you have to splice cogs, couldn't be helped).
Code: 
# Add this to your things class cog, replace any that is used
int             player                 local
float           surHealth=25           local
float           surDist=.25            local 
keyframe        surKey=surrender.key   local

message         created
message         pulse

# Add this to the code of the cog
Created:
   // Setup
   player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
   SetThingPulse(.05);
   Return;

Pulse:
   // Check health of thing
   If(GetThingHealth(GetSenderRef()) > surHealth) Return;
   // Check distance bewteen player and thing
   If(VectorDist(GetThingPos(player), GetThingPos(GetSenderRef())) < surDist)
   {
      // Check LOS of player
      If(HasLOS(player, GetSenderRef())
      {
         // If not fists, TDs, or seq, surrender
         If(GetCurWeapon(player) != 1 &&
            GetCurWeapon(player) != 4 &&
            GetCurWeapon(player) != 8)
         {
            If(GetActorWeapon(GetSenderRef(), 1) != -1)
            {
               newThing = CreateThing(powerup, GetSenderRef());
               SetLifeleft(newThing, 30.0);
               SetActorWeapon(GetSenderRef(), 1, -1);
               AmputateJoint(GetSenderRef(), 3);
            }
            PlayKey(GetSenderRef(), surKey, 2, 0x0); 
         }
      }
      Else // If outside LOS, RUN!!!
      If(GetActorWeapon(GetSenderRef(), 1) == -1)
      {
         AISetClass(GetSenderRef(), flee_ai);
         AIFlee(GetSenderRef(), player);
      }
   }
   Else // If outside distance, RUN!!!
   If(GetActorWeapon(GetSenderRef(), 1) == -1)
   {
      AISetClass(GetSenderRef(), flee_ai);
      AIFlee(GetSenderRef(), player);
   }
   Return;

PERFECT! By the way, when I said powerful, DogSRoOL, I meant it's damage would kill them easily (like three times the health they have left). Also, something important... where do you put the master.tpl file if you want it to affect the entire game? Plus, my Galactic Civil War Jetpack cog isn't working. It says Jetpack activated once, then won't go off, even when you land.

Master.tpl goes in your project directory, but is never used by the engine. Its only used by JED.

Then why does it have how much damage your weapons do? I want to change my power on my weapons

What JED does is take the lines (templates) that the level (jkl) uses and c/p them to the template section. So it doesn't effect gameplay at all, period, end of story. static.jkl is good for mods, and the other way, using master, you must use JED, which means, you guessed it, a whole new level. Thats all.
