i got a cog off this website called lightswitch.cog - it works but i need more sector options to be in it because there are alot of sectors i need the cog to affect. im not good at cogging but i did the best i could in trying to add more to it. it works fine when you are the host but when you are the one joining the game only a few sectors are affected by the cog. Heres what it looks like with all the editing i did:

[Code tags, please...]


thats what it looks now that ive edited it. can someone help me so that this cog will work for everyone in a multiplayer game? thanks.

Holy c4rp! That code could be one heckuvalot shorter!
I'll see what I can whip up for you. Might end up c/s.
May the mass times acceleration be with you.
2004-09-19, 7:55 PM #3
well first i tried usin the cog as it was when i downloaded it and just kept duplicating it a bunch of times over and over and kept assigning them to the same switch and i ended up with the problem with the person that joined the game didnt see all of the sectors turning off when the switch was activated. I figured making it one big cog with like 115 entries for sectors would fix that problem....but it did not. so i guess making it one big cog was kind of useless - since the same problem occured anyways. thanks again for your help man.
2004-09-19, 8:14 PM #4
Yep, turned into c/s (but really only because of the way it's set up ;)

Add the "server" side once, assign the variables. Add as many "clients" as you need to assign all those sectors. As long as the id variable in all the related cogs is the same, the server will toggle all sector lights in all the assigned sectors.

I tested this in Single player and it works fine (good thing too, because I made an error -- of course, I fixed it :) ). Hopefully it will work in MP (it should). You can even select whether to have the lights on or off at startup :)

# Jedi Knight Cog Script

# lightswitch_s.cog - Server side
#
# Adjusts Sector extralight on activation of a switch
#
# Set power to 1 to have lights on at startup; 0 to have them off.

Once again, Mr. Slaw, I am in your debt.

I could be utterly losing my marbles here (more than likely, being around this place too much ;)) but wouldn't your client-side "startup" message run into difficulties with the "for" loop being terminated with a ";"? I'm also a little confused about where the choice of "i<20" comes from (the sector test comparison I have no quibble with), but it just struck me that the number of sectors setup in the symbols being 40 - surely it should be "i<40" so that the iteration loops through all sector00's array objects before determining how many sectors are used, otherwise you're only getting half the sectors (with the current loop implementation)?

Then again, it's late and I'll probably regret typing this message because I'll wake up tomorrow and grasp it instantly, but all the same - put an old man's mind at rest ;) :D

yea only 20 of the sectors work....shouldnt be too hard for me to fix tho....right?......?

I do believe you're right, jackpot.

yup fixed it and tested on my network and works great. one minor glitch im willing to tolerate because its so.....minor. Say you are host and you set the cog so that the lights initially are on for example. you turn off the lights and THEN someone joins the game. that person still sees the lights are on. the light switch has to be activated twice so that they both see lights are on or off at the same time. i wonder if there would be a problem with this with three people. ie player 2 sees lights are off and when player 3 joins he sees lights are on (because the lights are set to be on initially). the question is will they see the lights the same after playing around with the switch? a thought but i highly doubt it.


also i notice that when you startup, the lights are breifly off and then are turned on after like half a second - also minor

Yeah, sorry, that should be a 40 in the loop.
Forgot to update the for loop when I added 20 more sectors to the symbols section :o

As for the ';' after the for loops -- it shouldn't cause any problems (if for some very odd reason it does, replace it with "i = i;")

I have a tendency to put a sleep(1) in the startup if I'm not sure about jk locking up. That's why the sleep is there. If it doesn't cause any problems, by all means remove it.

Also, see if commenting out the flags=0x240 above the symbols fixes the joining bug (where late joiners don't get the updated info). I hadn't considered that issue when converting it to use triggers.

oh, and when the switch is activated at least once, everyone should be synced concerning the lights, cause the server cog sends the sector light value to set the sectors to thru the trigger -- thus, every client gets the trigger and sets the lights to the value sent by the trigger (which is the same for everyone since they all get the same trigger). But commenting out the 0x240 line should fix this glitch anyway.
Wow, talk about wordiness ;) ^^^

To fix the join bug you could add a join message in the server cog that sends the trigger to the joiner...maybe something like this:
Code: 
join:
	if(GetSenderRef() == GetLocalPlayerThing())
	{
		if(power)
			SendTrigger(-1, 2000 + id, 1, onlight, 0, 0); //turn on lights
		else
			SendTrigger(-1, 2000 + id, 0, offlight, 0, 0); //turn off lights
	}
	Return;

Of course, you also have to add the join message to the symbols section.
Try to remove the first if encapsulation if it doesn't work.

Pfft - on occasions, the odd miracle does appear... just not as frequently as I'd wish for ;) - maybe I should try not sleeping when examining code ;) :D
