how do I put a cog in my level? I have found all these tutorials that say how to make the cogs but nothing to get it in the level. what am I missing? how do I get the script from this web site into the jed?

When making a level in JED, hit F7. You should be able to figure it from there.

Don't ever assume.

Ok, I'm trying to make a swinging door useing the tutorial. how do i get that cog into that place so I can add it. do I have to block and copy? if so, to where? do I have to download the cog script or something?

Please take note of the title of this post and give more details.

If you have .cog files, just put them in your project directory (you should have a different directory for each level). If you get code written from the forum here, copy and paste into notepad, then Save as Type: All Files, and name it something.cog. Make sure it's *not* a .txt file, or jed/jk won't read it.

It has been my expiriance that the Notepad in Windows ME (and some other versions of Windows) will save it to 'txt' reguarless of the filetype selected in the combobox. The solution is the put the filename in quotes, "GBK_blah.cog". The quotes force Notepad to save as the supplied filetype.

notepad does that because you havent specified a COG type yet. Doubleclick any cogscript and choose "always open with" and Notepad. Then you can save it as a cog without using the quotes...

That makes sense, and having 'Hide file extensions on known filetypes' disabled might help some too...
