Simple 3do Cog Needed

[YourOwners]

I need a cog, for when you enter my level, my ghost sprite isn't there, but when you hit a switch it makes my ghost Sprite appear. when you hit the switch again, my ghost 3do disapears, which makes the sprite disapear also. If that's possible, it would be greatly appreciated. ThankS!

OK... You need a switch, a position, and your ghost model. Sprite? Hm... OK... The sprite can be a simple explosion without a timer. Then when you hit the switch, they are created. As they are created, you capture them. When you hit the switch again, you destroy your captured objects.

Simple, eh?

not not really lol.

i'm guessing the symbols would be
switch (surface)
sprite (thing)
and just put the ghost thing where you want the sprite to be, right?

how do you enter a level and not see the 3do, but have the 3do appear when you hit the switch, thats where my confusion sets in.

Ok here's a closer attempt to what you want.
Sorry for the double post but I didn't want to clutter my other.
You need to create a new template such as +raildet_exp, only have no timer. Timers tell how long the sprite will show.

thing ghost0

surface switch1

sound switchsnd=beep1.wav

template explosion_tpl=+my_exp

flex on=0 local

end
#================================================= =======================================
code
activate:
if (on == 0)
{
SetWallCel(switch1, 1);
PlaySoundPos(switchsnd, SurfaceCenter(switch1), 1, -1, -1, 0);
vghost0=CreateThing(explosion_tpl, ghost0);
CaptureThing(vghost0);
on = 1;
}
else if (on == 1)
{
SetWallCel(switch1, 0);
PlaySoundPos(switchsnd, SurfaceCenter(switch1), 1, -1, -1, 0);
DestroyThing(vghost0);
on = 0;
}
Return;
end


This works with stormies

Is this a template without a timer?
