Hi all!

Sorry for asking dumb questions... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

I need a (probably pretty simple) COG to have a 3do loop through 3 or 4 frames permanently in Multiplayer. There's probably a COG around to do it, but since I'm such a COG-dumbo, I thought I'd ask first - so: Any ideas or (even better [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif] ) code bits? It's a very simple 3do, no keys, pups or anything, btw.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Cheers,
Goofz

here i made a cog for ya. I just took the generic doors cog and added a single line. After it calls CloseDoors i made it call OpenDoors so after each time it finishes its frames it starts over again. To use it just set it as a door but add more frames to the 3do, and remember to change numframes. It should work but if not i will try again. Here is the cog:

			moveStatus = moveStatus + IsThingMoving(door0);
			doorStatus = doorStatus + GetCurFrame(door0);
		}
	}
	return;

end

hope it works
[edit] i just thought of something u want it to start moving when the level is started right? Because u have to activate this for t to start moving. [/edit]
