changing concrifle to a teleporter
2003-12-28, 3:11 PM #1
I changed the model to look like the mines, but now i want it so when i press fire 1 it places the mine, and fire 2 to teleport to it.

Replace the activated message in the code with this.
Note use of code tags.
Code: 
Activated:
   offset = '0 0 0'; // change the numbers in here to offset the placing of the projectile from the player
   player = GetSourceRef();
   mode = GetSenderRef();
   If(!mode) // Primary, drop teleport point
   {
      If(target != -1) DestroyThing(target);
      target = FireProjectile(player, temp, -1, 12, offset, '0 0 0', 0,0,0,0);
   }
   Else // Sec fire
   {
      If(target == -1) Return; // If theres a target point
      TeleportThing(player, target); // teleport line
      DestroyThing(target);  // Remove point
      target = -1; // safeguard
   }
   Return;

Remove any fire or deactivated messages. Then add these to the symbols.
Code: 
int       player     local # if not present already, just this one
thing     target=-1  local
vector    offset     local
template  temp=templatename local
and that should do it, unless you want ammo change or whatnot.

use sabermasters parsec to find any errors, the problem is your cog as a error.

i have a plastic lightsaber and a jedi cape.. am i a nerd?

If gravity is a crule mistress, and bar tenders with bad grammar are untrustworthy, what is air?

Never heard of that, where do i get it.

And remember this is going to be a part of a mod so i dont have to worry about a checksum.

there's one error in the code I gave you, but it won't cause that problem, cause mines a logic one. Change the 'If(target != -1) Return;' to 'If(target == -1) Return;'
Everything else in my code seems to be clean.

A couple things I noticed:
You need a ';' after offset = '0 0 0'.
Second, I think the code should be under the fire message and leave the activated/deactivated messages the way they are.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I havn't messed with weapons too much lately.

whoops *adds semicolon after vector* okay, my fault, just add the semicolon, it should work, but its semi-auto. One tap, one drop, for you don't need it to repeat, thats why its just activated.

Updated the whole code to work.

The offset needs to be "offset=vectorset(0, 0, 0);" for it to work.

no, it can be "offset = '0 0 0';" too, but you can only use it for flex and ints, you can't use a variable or Rand() or any other verb. ie the '0 0 0' can only take numbers. Otherwise you have to use VectorSet().

Okay thanks a bunch.

Only 1 problem now. How do i edit the templates? I dont want +seqchrg2 to explode when anybody walks near it. And i want to change its name so it wont interfear with weapon 8?

Or where can i get a list of templates that cant be picked up, and dont explode.

Hi there [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

All the template settings are stored (in JK) in the file "master.tpl" or (in MotS) "mots.tpl" file.

If memory serves me correctly, I believe +seqchrg2 has a template explosion setting (I'm at work and don't have any resources readily available to check...) - just simply remove that (plus the damage thing/type flags).

As for proximity checking when people go near it - you'll need to write a class cog for the droppable item (which has been pretty much written for you [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]). Personally, I'd create a new template similar to +seqchrg2, but based more of its parent template (dang - can't remember what its parent is off the top of my head - sorry [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] ).

Hope some of this information is helpful/useful [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]
