reactor thrust problem....

[The_Lost_One]

It's not REALLY a cog problem...or is it?

well, anyways....HOW do i get the thrust to turn OFF after so many seconds???

I'm using a little switch thing for it, the thrust doesn't go on til i press the switch, but then after i turn it on, it does NOT stop.

What do i do?

This is a cog problem. Post it and we'll see.

Most definately a cog problem. It should be in the cog forum. We try not to have lots of cog script listed in the main editing forum. I'll move it to the cog forum for you.
