Cutscene cog debugging...

Here's the deal.. I have my ghost, my walkplayer, and my console in an untextured box of doom. I have the frames set on the ghost and the cog applied to the ghost.. here is the cog:

Code:

# Moves a camera around when the thing
# gets activated
#Created by Hebedee
#Not supported by lucasarts 
# 
# 


symbols
message		activated
thing		cam
thing		console	
thing 		player				local
flex		camspeed

int		done=0				local
int		Player				local
int		check				local

end

code
activated:

if (done == 0)
	{
	check = GetSenderRef();
	if (check == console)
		{
	player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
	SetActorFlags(player, 0xa00000);
	StopThing(player);
	SetCameraFocus(0, cam);
MoveToFrame(cam, 1, camspeed);
sleep(1.2);	       
MoveToFrame(cam, 2, camspeed);
	       sleep(0.2);
MoveToFrame(cam, 3, camspeed);
	       sleep(0.2);
MoveToFrame(cam, 4, camspeed);
		
sleep(0.2);
MoveToFrame(cam, 5, camspeed);
	       sleep(0.2);
MoveToFrame(cam, 6, camspeed);
	       sleep(0.2);
MoveToFrame(cam, 7, camspeed);
	       sleep(0.2);
MoveToFrame(cam, 8, camspeed);
		MoveToFrame(cam, 9, camspeed);
sleep(1.2);
		SetCameraFocus(0, player);	
		CycleCamera();
		DestroyThing(cam);
		ClearActorFlags(Player, 0xa00000);
	}
	}

	return;

end

Whats wrong with it?!

Simplify a bit, so problem might pop up.
Use linkid for checking things

Code:

thing console linkid=0

activated:

if(!done)
{
   if(GetSenderID() == 0)
   {
       player = GetSourceRef();
       SetActorFlags(player, 0xa00000);
       StopThing(player);
       SetCameraFocus(0, cam);

       MoveToFrame(cam, 1, camspeed);
       Sleep(1.2);
       
       for(i=2; i<=9; i++)
       {
            MoveToFrame(cam, i, camspeed);
            if(i != 8) Sleep(0.2);
       }

       Sleep(1.2);

       SetCameraFocus(0, player);
       CycleCamera();
       DestroyThing(cam);
       ClearActorFlags(Player, 0xa00000);
   }

Other than that, you set the path all properly?
And you need to destroy the cam?

Hey Hebedee! Take the Yun startup cog, and change the startup message to activated.
