Cog that will NOT work (RoX TC)

[Lord_Grismath]

*@!(*@$&(*@#

*mumbles something about not being able to get cog to work*

Is there anything I missed while scanning over this some 5 times?

Basically, to add realism, when the player enters water in his armour early on, he begins to sink (SetGravity) and take sector damage, he can then change clothes, by SetThingModel. The entire cog just doesn't seem to work, no matter what.

Please help, thanks.


# Jedi Knight Cog Script

# MARINERCLOTHES.COG
#
# Description
#
# Homecooked COG for switching Tahben's armour for some lighter clothes, more
# appropriate for swimming. Adds a bit more realism, and now the Mariner will make
# fun of you for sinking in your armour, and you'll take sector damage.

Try replacing 'GetSenderRef' with 'GetSenderRef()' http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif

Also, player is undefined.

Also, I don't know if you did this on purpose, but you might want to define the models.

Change it from your current method,
model modelname
to something like this:
model modelname=modelname.3do local
