flicker.cog

[Dash_rendar]

Anybody have it who can give it to me? Thanks.

And also, do you know if it worked on thigns with frames? For example I have a huge elevator that passes through multiple sectors as it goes through its frames, would flicker.cog prevent the flickering all thorughout the movement?

# Makes it so that 3dos crossing more than one sector don't
# flicker or disappear and also when the player looks at it

# Go go Hellcat for explaining this to me. =)

I'm pretty sure the flicker cog won't work properly with objects with frames. I think the elevator, if used in the flicker cog, would be destroyed and then recreated without the frame info.

The cog possibly could be modified to work with moving things, if they move to objects (eg ghosts) instead of frames.
