Thanks for starting this off ANthony, I made a brake through with one of my cogs:

Right people, this is what we want. You press a console, 8 pieces of stone move, wait a bit, then 4 rings com down to th e player, wait a bit, a sectorthrust is created pushing the player up to another floor.
I got it working at one point, but Ive changed it and now nothing happens:

end

return;

Compared with the other cogs that people are working with ,we should have nea problem, its so simple compared (still tricky for me)

Your problem is in the sleep statements. It should be Sleep(time); not the way you have it.

HELP! I can get the stones to move and now the rings come down(looks cool). When I added ;

sleep(time1);

move the rings back up(simplified)

sleep(time1);

move the stones back

the stones open, the rings start to come down, but suddenly they go back to frame 0 and so do all the stones . What is this? Smthing to do with time

[SithNazgul]

Ahh ok. Thanks.

hooo....
Maybe you have somewhere in there a syntax error that makes JK go back to frame 0.
Hmm...just thinking.....Can you do sub programs in COG? I dont think you should have it that way. Try telling it to when you press da dam big button, to execute program A, which moves some stones, then tell at the end of program A, to goto program B. Program B will have in it the code to move the rings down. Now tell it to goto program C, which will move the rings back, the program D will tell it to move the stones.
What stones BTW?
