Hello, all.

I'm looking for a cog that 'conjures' pickups on touching a thing or a surface. So for example, you touch a statue and a revive appears. I think a cog like this already exists, I remember seeing a gametable that produced armour upon activating it.

Anyone know where to get a cog like this? Is it already in the original JK cogs perhaps?

Oh, and most importantly, it's for my MultiPlayer level, so it should work for clients' comps too.

Thanks nonetheless

I'll check it out!

Well, it worked, but not exactly right, lol.

I noticed that it gives an item anytime you are in touch with it. So if you jump on the thing, or even just 'bump' it, you'll get an item. If you 'activate' the thing, you will get multiple items in one place. In fact, it's not possible to get a 'single' item. It gives multiple items and what more... there seems to be a client/server problem, because sometimes the pickup only shows up on the client side =\. Weird eh? It should be easy to solve (I think), lol. I'm sure someone knows how to code it right.

Do I sense GBK's blood pressure just went through the cog cave's roof?

You've just got to love GBK and his reactions - I'm sure ORJ didn't mean to cause offence GBK - ORJ has only started here and probably doesn't know of your legendary cogging status

Happy now, GBK

And he's finally off the starting grid --> Zooooom -@%

Whooooooops, sorry! I meant no offense at all. Lol, I just didn't want to bother GBK again, 'cause he said he was rusty. And yeah, i'm pretty new on the massassi forums...

Thanks a lot GBK, sorry for late reaction, but I had a two day party in the weekend, so I was away.

Alright, I tested it. Touching the thing doesn't seem to 'conjure' the pickup now. The pickup just appears on the ghost position every 2 minutes or so. When I touch the thing, the pickup won't appear, it just appears 'by itself' from time to time.

The way I see it, it should conjure the pickup everytime the thing is activated. So, (for example) activating it twice should conjure two pickups. Also, it's not meant to do it when you 'bump' the thing. (I'm not even sure if it's still doing that, since the pickup just respawns and respawns (after you pick it up ofcourse))

Sorry for being so difficult...I think I didn't really make it clear in the first place. :S

Getting tired of me yet?

In GBK's original cog (the first one he posted), change both "touched" keywords to "activated".

------------------
for(i = 0; i < 00; i = i + 1) Print("massassi is good");
PrintInt(i); //print the integer value of infinity

Make sure its the origanal cog, cause the second will only put out one powerup.



Maybe I should too..... ya think GBK? Cause noone remembers me....

Alright, thanks. I did that. I took the original and replaced 'touched' with 'activated', and it worked partly. I get the pickup everytime it is activated now, but when I pick it up, the pickup will reappear after some time, without activating the thing.

I believe the problem isn't the cog. You're probably attempting to conjure a respawning item. Items have attached cogs which I believe are called 'class cogs' (Anyone care to correct?). These cogs are then executed. So if you conjure a respawning item, I believe the class cog, which causes it to respawn, same as if you just placed the item in your level, then activates. So in short, change the template. (It might be something else in there as well...)

Yeah, it's a revive I'm trying to conjure. I know how to open the master.tpl, but I have no idea what to change and where.

I HAVE AN IDEA! What if I used the 'rrevivepack', instead of the 'revivepack'. The rrevivepack does not respawn! That should fix it! Hopefully it can still be 'conjured' multiple times, but anyways, it shouldn't respawn!

*is going to try it out right away*

w00000t! It worked!

I took GBK's original cog, replaced all instances of the word 'touched' with 'activated', and I made the conjured pickup the 'rrevivepack' instead of the normal 'revivepack'. I suddenly remembered that the 'rrevivepack' doesn't respawn. Now it works neatly. I get it everytime I activate the thing, and it doesn't respawn by itself

Thanks guys! *adds some names to the credits list*
