I'm trying to make a COG so that, after activating an item, it allows the player to rotate through a series of cels on a material (returning to cel #1 after it hits the last cel) when they press primary fire, and then reset the material to cel 0 when they press secondary fire.

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# transit_system.cog
#
# This handles the inter-island transportation/ferry system
# 
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

symbols

message	activated
message	startup
message	fire

thing		console0		linkid=20
thing		console1		linkid=20

material	ticket_con

int		CurrentCel=0		local
int		Mode=0			local
int		player			local

end

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

code

startup:
	player = GetLocalPlayerThing();

activated:

	if(GetSenderID()==20) {
		SetActorFlags(player, 0x40000);
		call fire;
		}

	return;

fire:
	Mode = GetSenderRef();
	if (Mode==0) {
		CurrentCel=GetMaterialCel(ticket_con);
		if(CurrentCel!=4) {
		SetMaterialCel(ticket_con,(CurrentCel+1));
		}
		else {
		SetMaterialCel(ticket_con, 1);
		}
	}
	else if (Mode==1) {
		ClearActorFlags(player, 0x40000);
		SetMaterialCel(ticket_con, 0);
		}
	return;

But it won't work. I've tried removing the partial immobilization of the player, thinking it might freeze the controls, but it makes no difference.

Sorry to say this, but you can't call fire from the message activated to get the fire mode. Unless this is mots, I don't know of a way to do it.

You're going to have to make a seperate weapon that functions like an item. When you pull it out, and press fire, you can then get the mode and either send a message to another cog or handle it all in the item cog.

Ugh geeze. :p

Under activated: instead of call Fire; just put ActivateWeapon(player, firewait, mode);

I said you can't use the call command to activate the fire message, or rather I intended it to mean that. I can see how you misunderstood it, I left it too open when I said call. I meant the call verb itself.

I also stated that I didn't know everything about this, and that there might be a way to do it. [whiny voice]So there :p [/whiny voice]

I admit I don't know everything.
