Bouncing Jumpads cog for 3do.
2003-07-25, 12:48 PM #1
Like in the level Morpheus. they have jump pads. I have the cog for a surface and a sector, but what would work best for a Jumpad, would be a 3do. if there is a way you can make or direct me to a cog that allows that, it would be good.

It's not hard you just need to change the trigger from entering a sector to entering a 3do (JK handles being ontop of a 3do as entering it as far as cog is concerned).

Frankly, this needs to be posted in the cog forum. I'm moving it there.

Already on Massassi if you'd looked.

Change 'surface bouncepad' to 'thing bouncepad.' What did MikeC just say?

Yeah, I know I should have explained it, but that was pretty obvious.

heres one that can use either a surface or a thing as the bounce pad.
Code: 
#===========================
# bounce_pad.COG
# Written By DSLS_DeathSythe
#===========================
flags=0x240
symbols
#---------------------------
message     startup
message     entered

thing       player=-1      local

surface     bounce_surf
thing       bounce_thng

thing       target_thng=-1

flex        x_cord=0.0
flex        y_cord=0.0
flex        z_cord=0.0

vector      bounce_vec     local
vector      target_vec     local

flex        bounce_force=5.0
sound       bounce_snd=-1
#---------------------------
end
#===========================
code
#---------------------------
startup:
	if(target_thng > -1)
		{
		target_vec = GetThingPos(target_thng);
		return;
		}
	target_vec = VectorSet(x_cord, y_cord, z_cord);
return;
#---------------------------
entered:
	player = GetSourceRef();
	bounce_vec = VectorScale(VectorNorm(VectorSub(target_vec, GetThingPos(player))), bounce_force);
	DetachThing(player);
	SetThingVel(player, bounce_vec);
	PlaySoundLocal(bounce_snd, 1.0, 0.0, 0x0);
return;
#===========================
end

works about the same as the other one but it uses SetThingVel instead of ApplyForce.
you can either input the cordinates to direct the bounce or use a ghost to direct the bounce.
dont put the bounce_force up too high or it will splut you into the ceiling and kill you.
hope it will work for you.

[edit: dang im too slow, oh well.]

Excuse me for butting in. Which jump pad is better? Are there any advantages to either? And can a jump pad be made through the template so that anywhere a certain thing is created it will act like a jump pad?

Would have to say DeathSythe's is better because it allows the user to enter a thing to jump at.

And yes, just change all the variables in Gunboy's cog to local, and add 'cog=class_bouncpad.cog' or whatever you decide to name the cog. And you might add the 0x400 thingflag to your bouncepad - but if you don't, JK will. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
