ok i have modified the breaking glass cog and its not working. I want the pane of glass to break if it is damaged or if two other panes of glass and get broken. The only problem is, is my cog does nothing so find my mistakes someone.

Just by scanning it for syntax, change
if(modeflag & modeflag2 = 0)
to

if(modeflag & modeflag2 == 0)

Fix that and then try debugging...

yeah i noticed that but its not the prob, it doesn't even get there, for some reason the cog won't do anything, i put a print in the startup and it didn't print. and i've checked like 8 times to make sure i had the cog in the level corectly, i even gobbed the thing! but i've been away from jk editing for a long long time, so just to make sure i am doing it right, how do you implement custom cogs?

Do the adj1 and adj2 surfaces have their own breakingglass cog? And the pulse message added to your cog is to check to see if the damaged message in the other breakingglass cog has run? Then it would be alot more elegant if the other breakingglass cog, sent a message to your cog to break the glass.

But that's aside from the problem. Make sure your cog is set up correctly in the level - your syntax looks alright. If all else fails, send me the level. http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif

I know the feeling. It's great to be back. http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif Though I admit I no longer have 8 hours a day to spend on JK... http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif

One thing you can add (when it's working) is to have the pulse message stopped once the glass is damaged.

thanks sylv good idea. yeah i have the other two with breakingglass00 or whatever. the reason i don't have the other cogs send it and be more elegant is.... because.... i sort of can't remember how to do triggers for jk. i tried and horribly messed up so i decided to try and easier route. maybe i'll try again
