speed=vectorlen(getthingvel(player));
printint(speed);

The value 'speed' is the player's speed in JKUs per second.

Yeah, that was pretty obvious... (speed is a flex and not in JKUs per second, btw)

The reason I ask what he wants it to do is because that code doesn't do much by itself.

Alright, I'm going to guess that your mod hasn't modified item_bacta.cog. If it has, then this won't work.

Create a cog folder in yourjkdir\resource and create a .cog file with this text:
Code: 
# item_bacta.cog
#
# Modified to output a player's speed.
#
# [CYW & YB & SM]
#==============================================================#
symbols

sound     bactaSnd=BactaUse01.WAV

thing     player

message   activated
message   pulse
message   startup

end
#==============================================================#
code
#------------------------------------------------------
startup:
	SetPulse(0.1);

Return;
#------------------------------------------------------
activated:
	player = GetSourceRef();
	if(GetInv(player, 40) > 0.0)
	{
		if(GetHealth(player) < 100)
		{
			// Print("Using Bacta");
			jkPrintUNIString(player, 250);
			PlaySoundThing(bactaSnd, player, 1.0, -1, -1, 128);
			HealThing(player, 30.0);
			ChangeInv(player, 40, -1.0);
			if(GetInv(player, 40) == 0) SetInvAvailable(player, 40, 0);
		}
	}

Return;
#------------------------------------------------------
pulse:
	player=GetLocalPlayerThing();
	jkStringClear();
	jkStringConcatPlayerName(player);
	jkStringConcatAsciiString("'s speed is: ");
	jkStringConcatFormattedFlex(VectorLen(GetThingVel(player)), " %2.3f");
	jkStringConcatAsciiString(".");
	jkStringOutput(-1, -1);

Return;
#------------------------------------------------------
end

Ah. Well there goes that. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]

Alpha1, just find a cog that: is used in every level, isn't modified by your patch, and doesn't have a pulse message (or you can add your own to the items.dat). Put in a SetPulse() on startup, add the message names to the symbols and copy the pulse message from my cog and paste it into yours.

If you have any questions, just ask. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
