Rotator cog stops rotating after one turn on client comp
2004-05-03, 5:41 AM #1
Hello all, I downloaded the rotator cog from the massassi cogs section, and used it in my level. However, I noticed that it works perfectly on the host side, on the client side it stops rotating after one turn. Maybe this cog is host only? Is there any way to make it work on all players computers? I don't know a thing about cog. Can anyone 'modify' this cog for me, or tell me how to do it?

I dunno for sure, but try adding "flags=0x240" just above the symbols keyword.

Well, thanks for the help, but unfortunately...it didn't fix it [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

It seemed to last a bit longer before it stopped now, but that may be my imagination.

this one should work.
Code: 
##########################################################
# Jedi Knight Cog Script  (JK)
#---------------------------------------------------------
# ROT_WALKWAY01.COG
# -Rotates an object (walkWay) continously.
# -To change the direction of the spin make the spin_time
#  negative. EXAMPLE: spin_time=-2 will spin in the
#  opposite direction of spin_time=2.
# -Each time you use this cog in your level the SPIN_TRIG
#  needs to be set to a different number.
# -SPIN_TRIG also needs to be different from any
#  other triggers in any other cogs that uses triggers in
#  your level.

startup:
	sync_count = 0;
	JumpToFrame(walkWay, 0, GetThingSector(walkWay));
	PlaySoundThing(spinning_snd, walkWay, 1.0, -1, -1, 0x1);
arrived:
	if(IsServer())
		SendTrigger(-1, spin_trig, sync_count, 0, 0, 0);
return;
#---------------------------------------------------------
trigger:
	if(GetSourceRef() != spin_trig) return;
	sync_count = GetParam(0);
	if(sync_count >= 3)
		{
		JumpToFrame(walkWay, 0, GetThingSector(walkWay));
		sync_count = 0;
		}
	sync_count = sync_count + 1;
	RotatePivot(walkWay, 0, spin_time);
return;
##########################################################
end

setup is the same as the cog on massassi.
only thing different that you need to worry about is the trigger int.

Wow, this is absolutely great! Can I just use this one without adding anything?

Thanks a billion! I'll go try it right now!

Oh btw, you may already know, but I thought I'd just mention it:

You managed to 'sync' the rotation. I have two comps, and I experimented with giving the 3do an angled rotation, and it looks and moves in exactly the same way and in the exact same position on both comps!

This is the ultimate version. The rotator cog in the massassi cogs section should actually be replaced by this version. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
