Changing powerup cogs.
2003-07-11, 10:11 AM #1
I need to change the strifle powerup cogs to allow the player to pick up 2 rifles, now would I just change the part that says
Code: 
touched:
   player = GetSourceRef();
   powerup = GetSenderRef();

   if((GetInv(player, bin) == 0) || (GetInv(player, ammobin) < GetInvMax(player, ammobin)))
   {
      TakeItem(powerup, player);
   }

   Return;

to something like
Code: 
touched:
   player = GetSourceRef();
   powerup = GetSenderRef();

   if((GetInv(player, bin) < 2) || (GetInv(player, ammobin) < GetInvMax(player, ammobin)))
   {
      TakeItem(powerup, player);
   }

   Return;

Is there anything else I need to change? (besides the items.dat, I've already done that)

You could try:
ChangeBin(player, bin, number);
I don't think it will change the bin beyond the maximum specified value in items.dat.

[Edit: That would go in the "taken" message section, and player=GetSourceRef(); before it. The rest looks OK.]

That's already in the taken section of the cog (I'm just using the pow_strifle.cog and all I changed was that part above), I just have to make it so that the cog will allow the player to pick up 2 stormtrooper rifles then add ammo, not just pick up one then add ammo like it does now, and I think that that is the only part that needs to be changed, but I'm not positive. (I've already changed the max for the stormtrooper rifle to 2 in the items.dat)

OK, I got it working, there was a part in the taken message that I needed to change. Thanks for helping me think to check the taken message for something.
