2 COG problems

[Edward]

Hi!
1. I have this custom door COG, where if you hit a switch, the door will open or close. Now, I've set so that if you activate the door, it will play a locked sound indicating you'll need to activate a switch. Problem is that when I activate the door, the door opens... Why is that?

2. I have this draw bridge, and I wanted to add a little bounce effect when it comes to its level position. I managed to make that bounce effect, only, it's never straight after it bounces. So I try to set the origentation with a SetThingLook. Result: it disappears. Are there any other ways of solving this?

For the switch thing, I have no idea and this is why I'm no good at level cogs, but I'm guessing it has something to do with masks=whatever that goes in your symbols section with your things. I never bothered to learn about them though.

The SetThingLook disapearing problem I've run into before, and I think it does it because it's being set to an invalid vector or something, so it can't display the object because it's in an impossible position.

Impossible possition?
(0/7.6/-.1:0/0/0)
(0/7.6/-.1:90/0/0)
Doesn't seem like it...

And I don't think the Masks will help. Hasn't been a problem before...

From what I understand, this should work for the first. (you need linkid's for doors and switches and (getsenderID). L@@ky l@@ky:
/edit: this cog is based on your wording but your cog looks like it has other elements to it.

LinkID worked!!! Yeah, thanks.

Now then... This bouncing bridge...
