Okay, so maybe I should know this already, since I have been programming COG for 5 years, but here is the problem (I'll post the entire .cog if you need it): I am making a zipline for JK! It works perfectly, except for one thing, but perhaps I need to explain how it [is supposed to] work(s) first.
It works like the BowCaster, somewhat. When you hit fire 1, you hold it down. As soon as you touch it, you drop an anchor. As soon as you let up you fire the line template. Here is where it gets tricky:
1. You can only have 1 anchor out at a time, but you can fire multiple line templates.
2. The line templates, when fired, are supposed to turn around, and look at the anchor, then fire a line which connects the 2. The only thing, though, is that I can only get 1 at a time to look at the anchor and fire the rope template. Ah well, here is the cog:
Now, I know that every time a "dummy" is created and specified as such, the cog starts to focus on that ONE line template and ignore the others already created, and I need to know how to get it to make all created "dummy's" to look at the anchor and fire the proj3 template. Please help.

Uh huh. Well, that's... uh... great. What's do I do for the dummycount, i.e. what do I call it? Sorry, and thanks for trying to help. Ya' wanna have the .cog and such and do it for me? I haven't achieved mastery of the "for" verb... sorry.![[http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]](http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif "http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif")
