Grav issue.
2004-03-09, 4:44 PM #1
Herm.. I decided about making a grav cog, for my level.. ^_^..

Problem have occured.. I cant use SetGravity command, for that will set the gravity for the entire level, so, I need to use SetSectorFlags.. I set the flags 0x1.. BUT, after the gravity is taken off, when you jump, you just go up, til you stop, then you hit the ceiling, and then stop.. You can go down, you can only go back and forth..

I will post the cog here later, but could anyone help?

Don't set that flag. Then have a small upwards thrust in those sectors. Instant moon gravity [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]. See LEC's thrust cogs for more info.

May the mass times acceleration be with you.

Erm..... But, then could you step back down to the ground? And, what about the people that come in a little while after the switch was activated?

Yeah, the sectorthrust would work well. It just can't be too strong, or you will never hit the ground again. And the thrust is a constant/repeating thing, so it doesn't matter when you enter the game/room.

Thanks, but, all the sector thrust does is make less gravity like. I need there to be NO gravity.. The only way to do that, is to set the flags, but it doesnt seem to wrok correctly. o_o

Do you want to be able to fly around?

I want there to be no gravity in a certian sector, and, after gravity is off, I want it to be off for Everyone in the game.

So yes, I want people to be able to fly in that sector**

Off the top of my head, you might want something like this as a level cog. Have no clue if it'll work right or even at all.

There is also "SetGravity(flex_gravity);" which affects the whole level's gravity.

Code: 
# Cog to make no gravity in a sector.
#-------------------
symbols
     sector sec=-1
     message entered
     message exited
end
#-------------------
code

Entered:
     if(getSenderRef() != sec) return;
     clearPhysicsFlags(getSourceRef(), 0x1);
return;
#...................
Exited:
     if(getSenderRef() != sec) return;
     setPhysicsFlags(getSourceRef(), 0x1);
return;
end


[edit] Fixed; forgot "entered" and "exited" messages in "symbols" section

Crud, I thought I was forgetting something; that symbols section looked WAY too small. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]

The MOTS cog s4|1_fly.cog performs this function, but I willnot post it in case you dont have mots (its from the escortship level with the dead floating rebel soldiers)
Only it uses adjoin surfaces to control the action (entered/exited)
