I would like to request a cog.
2004-08-22, 11:32 AM #1
And since I haven't bothered to learn the cog language, I figured I would ask here.

I need a cog that does this:

When a 3do is activated, it:
1. Changes the 3do into a different 3do
2. Changes the texture on a bunch of surfaces (like 16)
3. Changes the sector tint in a bunch of sectors
4. Changes the ambient sound and volume in a bunch of sectors
5. Changes everything back after a certain amount of time, or when the 3do is activated again.

Thanks in advance!

There is a cog

When you enter a sector a 3do wil change into another

entered:
	if(GetSectorPlayerCount(GetSenderRef()) == 1)
		SetThingModel(structure, on);
	return;

exited:
	if(GetSectorPlayerCount(GetSenderRef()) == 0)

	return;

end


maybe you can edit this...

This cog assumes that the sector has no existing sound applied to it; if your sectors have an ambient sound, this code will have to be modified to incorporate that.

Not tested, but has been parsed.
Since you'll likely need to add more surfaces than this cog will accept, add another instance of this cog, fill in the sector and surface info, and set the console variable to the same thing number in jed's cog window.

One reason I picked up using "stop;" (about a month ago? I forget exactly when...) is because I tended to make typos when I used "return;" (like "reutrn;" and such); I also kind of naturally started thinking "stop;" instead, probably because I stumbled on that forgotten cache of your cogs and spent a while examining them [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif].

I occasionally make a "return;" instead, but stop; has become a habit and is quite dominant now.

It's going to be interesting when I start my Java classes again [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]
