Ok, as basic as this probably is, you should all knowby now that about the only element of JK/MotS Editing I can't do is cog. So, here it is:

I need a cog plays a keyfile for a thing when you step on it. it should also play a sound as it does this. That's it.

This is going to be used for my stone pillars in teh lava when crossing it. When you jump onto a pillar, it breaks apart under you, forcing you to move quickly from pillar to pillar.

thanks guys....

Anyone?!

Here's a thought: Cleave the sector on top of the pillar so that there is a very shallow sector with the width and depth the same as the top of the column, which should be a thing. Then use the crossed message to trigger the key. For example:

-----------------------

symbols

message crossed

surface pillartop

thing pillar

sound rumble=collpase_sound.wav local

keyframe fall=falling.key local

int played=0 local

end

code

crossed:

If (played == 1) return; //will only play once
PlaySoundLocal(rumble, 1, 0, 132);
PlayKey(column, fall, 1, 0x14);
Sleep(.5);
DestroyThing(column);
StopSound(rumble);
played = 1;

return;

end

or you could use touched: on a thing...

Only problem with that is that it would trigger even if the player struck the side of the column, unless that's what GR wants...

Yeah, I could use it if he touched the side too....but I dunno how to write cogs at all, so I'd need somebody to set out the whole script for me. I'd really appreciate it.
