Need a quickie cog for SP...........
2003-06-01, 11:48 AM #1
Here is the deal, I want to blow a hole in the ground opon cutting some wires, and this is how im going to do it. Upon the damaging of a surface, I need A: An explosion to be generated at 4 ghosts (complete with sound and damage), B: a surface's ADJOIN flags to go from 7 to 5, and its GEO flag to go from 4 to 0, and C: The mat cell to change. Help would be apreciated and credit will be given. Thanks.

heres one that will do what it sounds like you want:
Code:

        {

        SetAdjoinFlags(dmgSurf_frnt, 0x2);
        SetAdjoinFlags(dmgSurf_back, 0x2);
        CreateThing(exp_tpl, ghostExp_pos0);
        CreateThing(exp_tpl, ghostExp_pos1);
        CreateThing(exp_tpl, ghostExp_pos2);
        CreateThing(exp_tpl, ghostExp_pos3);
        }
      }
    }
  ReturnEx(-1);
return;
#=====
end

i didnt mess with the GEO of the surfaces because if it was set to 0 then you wouldnt see the mats cel change. you will have to change the surfaces GEO to 4 in jed, and if you want the surface to sound like metal you will need to set that flag in jed as well.
it doesnt take damage from punching and force, but force destruction still will damage it because its an explosion.
the 'dmgAmount' is the amount of damage the surface takes before it explodes.
i tested it and it worked for me. hope its what you need.

Shouldn't
Code: 
if(GetParam(1) != 1 && GetParam(1) != 8)
be
Code: 
if((GetParam(1) != 1) && (GetParam(1) != 8))
?

No, i think you misunderstood. Actually, i think I didnt explain very well. When you slash one surface, a DIFFERENT surface changes to Geo 0 and Adjoin 5. So it appears that when you slash the wires, it opens up a hole in the wall in a different part of the room.

i didnt test this one but it should work.

DogSRoOL - i dont think it matters about that part, could be wrong though. it worked just fine the way it was when i was testing it.

No, it doesn't matter. The reason it works is because of the operators' precedence. The 'not equal to' operator has a higher precedence so the two equality tests are done first. Like this (assuming true):

(GetParam(1) != 1 && GetParam(1) != 8)
(1 && 1)
(1)
