I'm guessing your meaning the walkpalyer as the player ...

but

atst=atst.3do local
int curmodel local

( This is a cog attatched to a sector )

entered:

player=GetLocalPlayerThing(); ( I don't know if thats right ? )
curmodel=getthingmodel(player);
SetThingModel(player, atst);

return;

leave [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] I don't know if thats a real message)

SetThingModel(player, curmodel);

return;

I don't know if alls thats right, especially the Int part.

But i'm sure Hekei will come along and tell me what went wrong and do some fancy stuff like ...

If you do that you also have to set the pup to the ATST one.

Ok so you set the pup for the walkplayer to atst.pup right?
How does the game know what sector it wants you to switch in?

sorry for all the questions im not that great at cogs yet.

Code: 
symbols


int			player		local

model		oldmodel		local
model		atst=at.3do	   local //Has to be, unless you modify the pup in ParseArg

sector		switchmodel


message		startup
message		entered
message		exited


code:


startup:


player=GetLocalPlayerThing();


return;


entered:

oldmodel=GetThingModel(player);

SetThingModel(player, atst);

ParseArg(player "puppet=at.pup");//I think it's puppet, have to check

ParseArg(player, "soundclass=at.snd");

SetActorExtraSpeed(player, -1.0); //change to a speed you like

//you also need code to set the weapon to an ATST cannon, however, I am at work right now, and can't help with that...
return;

exited:

SetThingModel(player, oldmodel);

ParseArg(player "puppet=ky.pup");

ParseArg(player, "soundclass=ky.snd");

SetActorExtraSpeed(player, 0.0); 


return;


hopefully should work, I'm at work, so I can't check/test it.
