Mat Change
2004-05-22, 7:06 PM #1
I was wondering, multiple times when im making different levels, if you can select a surface or thing, (preferably a thing), and have a mat change thats in the level. If this is possible, plz help.

Try this. It's been parsed, but not tested.
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# when console is activated, all instances of a
#  specified mat in the level are changed to another.

hey nice job, the mat changes really nice.
cept can you make it so whenever you hit the switch it changes back?

i hit it once, and that was sweet cause my mat did change. but activating the switch again didn't do anything, so if its possible can you fix that? thanks. btw ill credit you in readme.

Looks like Slaw forgot a character, lol...
Try this code:

#  specified mat in the level are changed to another.

# =======================================================================

activated:
if(GetSenderRef() != console) Return;
for(i = 0; i < GetSurfaceCount(); i = i + 1)
{
if(GetSurfaceMat(i) == daMat0[frame]) SetSurfaceMat(i, daMat0[1 - frame]);
}
frame = 1 - frame;

Return;
# .......................................................................
end


You messed up on the arrays Slaw. In JK you have to write the full name of the first variable, which in this case is daMat0... Small mistake, lol. Otherwise your code seems fine.

alright, the game doesn't crash on this one, but it doesn't change back to the first mat when you select it again.

(to conclude: select 1st time- 2nd mat, select 2nd time- 1st mat, select 3rd time- 2nd mat, select 4nd time- 1st mat)

just keep repeating it if possible,

THX!

Crude but effective. (I hope.)

Oops. Heh heh. Too much java (or maybe just ignorance [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif])

I don't know why the code I posted (with sniperwolf's fix, that is) wasn't changing the mats back. Oh well.
But I guess it's not really all that important though, since grismath's version works fine. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
