I need a force field that is controlled by a shootable switch, and is off until turned on. I've tried making my own but it seems I have Zero Talent in that area.

Thanks, and if you make it I'll put your name in the credits.

Does the forcefield need to cause damage when touched by the player?

Yes, damage is a must.

Here. This should work; it has no syntax errors but that doesn't guarantee anything [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Things to be identified in Jed: (1) switch - surface (2 celled mat), (2) damsurf - one side of forcefield adjoin, (3) damsurf 2 - other side of forcefield adjoin. Let me know if it works out.

Ok, I put it in the level and when you shoot the switch the damsurf 1 and 2 flash, the switch smokes, and the player recives damage.
