touched: damage? What's wrong?

Hi.

This cog works only once (i.e. it damages the player when he touches one of the 3 fans) but after he's been killed once, it doesn't do anything any longer. What's more. JK starts to behave rather strange (e.g. ForceJump-dots appearing around the player all the time, player not taking damage from explosions)
It's MP, btw.:

Code:

symbols

thing		fan1	
thing		fan2	
thing		fan3	
flex	damage_amount
	
int dummy	local

message     touched


end

code

touched:
   if ((GetSenderId=fan1) | | (GetSenderId=fan2) | | (GetSenderId=fan3))
	{
	player = GetLocalPlayerThing();
	dummy = DamageThing(player, damage_amount, 0x01, player);
	}
Return;	

end

Any idea? Sorry, I know nearly nothing about cogging.

Cheers,
Goofz

Code:

# Jedi Knight COG
# 
# Made by Zecks

# Not made by LucasArts.

symbols
thing		fan1	linkid=1
thing		fan2	linkid=1
thing		fan3	linkid=1
flex	damage_amount	
int dummy	
local
message     touched

end

# ---------

code

touched:   

player = GetLocalPlayerThing();	 

DamageThing(player, damage_amount, 0x01, 1);
Return;	

# -------

end

I believe that is the right DamageThing(); that you used. Let me know if that doesn't work.

To see if equalized in "if" statement, use 2 "=" signs.

if(this == that) doThis;

And you don't do GetSenderID() by name like that, rather use "GetSenderID()" (with brackets) and put

thing this linkid=0
thing that linkid=1

And check if the sender ID is equal to 0 or 1 etc.
