For JK or MotS:

I'm wondering... Is it possible to hold down the activate button on items placed in levels?
I'm trying to make it work like the Health/Armor dispensers in Half-Life.
I haven't started writing the cog yet.
Do I have to make a counter set in a pulse? Can the dispenser check if a player is touching it without making a mod on kyle.cog

Weapon cogs work like that with the activated and deactivated messages but I dont know if it would work for an item. Maybe you could try and put the deactivated message in a test cog and find out.

For the counter I think it would have to be in a pulse or a timer that just starts over, you could maybe try a while() loop with the Sleep() command.

Deactivated won't work there, you'll need to use activated and a pulse. You could check to make sure the player keeps touching the dispenser, but checking the distance would be better.

I made it so when activated it sets a given pulse.
In the pulse it checks if the player isThingMoving... That's a simple way to do it, and I don't really like it, but hey, it's better than nothing
SaberMaster, thanks for the help! Going to try that about measuring the distance between the player and the dispenser.

The dispenser is using GetLocalPlayerThing(); as I can't get GetSourceRef(); to work.
