A cog request
2005-08-24, 4:29 PM #1
I would appreciate it if someone would write a cog that simply does:
1) The player activates a thing or mat.
2) A sound is played once.
3) A different sound is looped continuously until
4) The player activates this thing or mat again.
5) And it can be done as many times as wanted

Basically it does the following:

When Activated(ON) it makes a noise and loops another noise UNTIL it's Activated again(OFF) ?

What do you mean by The player activates a thing or mat? Would a cog with an activated message and pulse be enough? I've never placed cogs in JED before...

This should do it.
Code: 
# reid_sound.cog
#
# By Emon, August 2005
#
# Some sound making thing for Reid.
#
#==============================================================================
symbols

surface		switch
thing		switchThing

sound		onSound
sound		loopSound

flex		volume=1
flex		minSoundDist=-1
flex		maxSoundDist=-1
flex		offDelay=1

int			channel					local
int			on=0					local

message		activated
message		deactivated

end
#==============================================================================
code

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
activated:
	if(!on)
	{
		setSurfaceCel(switch, 1);
		channel = playSoundPos(onSound, getSurfaceCenter(switch), volume,
							   minSoundDist, maxSoundDist, 0x0);
		channel = playSoundPos(loopSound, getSurfaceCenter(switch), volume,
							   minSoundDist, maxSoundDist, 0x1);
	}
	else
	{
		setSurfaceCel(switch, 0);
		stopSound(channel, offDelay);
	}
	return;

end


Description of symbols.

switch and switchThing = The switch, either a surface or a thing. You can use either.
onSound = The first sound to play when the switch is hit.
loopSound = The sound to loop.
volume = The volume of the sound, 0.0 to 1.0.
minSoundDist/maxSoundDist = The minimum and maximum sound distances for the sound to be heard. The sound will be played at full volume within the min dist and fade to 0 towards the max dist. They default to -1, which will tell JK to use the default distances.
offDelay = A fade delay, in seconds for when the sound turns off. If you set this to 2.0, the sound will fade to a volume of 0 over 2.0 seconds.

This COG will also animate the surface switch. When it's activated it will switch to the second cel (cel #1) and switch back to the first cel when it's activated again (cel #0).

The cog has 1 problem: When you activate the thing/surface again, it doesn't shut it off, its only will start a new sound loop that mixes with the first one.

That should fix his code, he forget to change the var hehe

Ok thanks.

Where did you learn how to write in the cog language?
2005-08-25, 8:22 PM #7
Some tutorials here on massassi, some old hack tutorials and mostly just messing around and learning by mistakes.

Knowing the syntax and then just memorizing every command and what it does over time.

Why is the answer to why always why? Why is there no final answer to why? Simply why not? Holy cow, this is pretty deep, meaningful **** I wrote. Glad I wrote it down. Oh man."
