Is it possible to have a COG which fires a projectile from a position other than Kyle, eg a laser projector at a predefined target, like the chain lightning in MOTS where you lock on, but in JK?

Just replace the thing that is firing with what you want to fire it.

Thanx, but I don't know the unknown flags and JK automatically fires in the direction the thing is facing, so I'd need to either alter the way it is facing or get it to work out the vector which would be mega-complicated.

Just look at the stormtrooper cog or something for the unknown variables. Also, you could place a ghost object right in front of the object you want the projectile to come out of, then change the FireProjectile() line so the first param is the ghost, not the other object. To find angles like pitch and stuff for the ghost, I recommend using something like a rail det projectile, and adjusting x/y/z and pitch/yaw/roll, then changing the item type from the projectile to a ghost.. that way you can get directions easier.

Thanx, I'll try that

You may also want to look at the '00_lightning.cog' from Canyon Oasis. This creates the lighting trap, using fireprojectile().
