I've been trying to get a COG to work so that, should the player injure a civilian, police units around the area would react and attack and the player. The coding is rudimentary, yes, but here it is:

Code:

Now, the police (pol1, pol2, etc.) are set to neutral toward the player at the beginning of the game. However, should I damage it or the civilians, the police actor just shrugs it off as nothing unusual. It's almost as though the game refuses to recognize the damaged: section of my COG.

i think i have a cog somwhere that is for police units and they will only attack you if they see you hurting a civilian, if that would suit you better i can see if i can find it and you can modify it to your needs

I think this is the perfect place to use an array.

name0 - name15 = name[16].
An array is a way of easily referencing a large amount of information. This would let you access all of the NPCs in one loop instead of a large list of statements (also makes adding new police / NPCs much easier).
The JK COG specs should have information about arrays.

Jon, in cog you need to define each element in the array in the symbols section.

Also I am not sure what language you defined that array in but in my experience 0-15 is defined as name[15] as 0 is an included in that definition.

I always use different variables for different for loops. Perhaps that's just a habit of mine.

On a "for" it doesnt matter because you define it as i=num anyways. On a multidemensional array then it would probably be required.

I'm sure Jon knew that. 0-15 is 16 elements which is what he was pointing out, and there are arrays that start with 0 or 1.

Hellcat, that code might work fine, but you might also clear 0x1000 and set 0x4.

And no reason to be so matter-of-fact, I'm sure Heeb knows how to write. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
