I'm trying to cause a Force power to be deactivated when any one of the player's weapons is fired. I've looked at the JK Specs forward and backward and I still can't figure it out.

Any suggestions?

------------------
I just love that part of the Jedi Code that says, "There is no ignorance - only knowledge". If that's the case, then what am I doing on this Force-blasted message board??!!

message fired

------------------
Those who stare in the eyes of death and laugh will be the first to go.

Thanks for the response, Hoard. I tried your suggestion, but I haven't been able to make it work quite right. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could help me set this up the right way.

I've added this line to the symbols section:

message fire

And I've added these lines to the cog just before the stop_power section:

# ........................................................................................

fire:
player = GetSourceRef();
call stop_power;
Return;

# ........................................................................................

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Just what exactly are you trying to do? Please post the cog with a description

-Jipe

Read my response in your other post.

Okay, Jipe, here's the cog in its entirety. What I'm trying to do is get the cog, whenever a weapon is fired, to shut down.

I've tried lordvader's suggestion, but I can't seem to find the right verb/symbol to use to represent the Force Persuasion cog. I'll keep looking for it, though.
