How do you explain this?
[http://www.tbns.net/zell/bubbleshot0001.jpg]
I found this bubble cog, it works fine and all, but the bubbles go through walls! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif] Here's the cog.
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Missions Cog Script
# Makes sparks at a ghost for those busted lights
# [AM]
# (C) 1997 LucasArts Entertainment Co. All Rights Reserved

symbols

template Templatey=+sparks
thing    Ghosty
flex     minimumDelay=1.3
flex     maximumDelay=5.0
sound    soundy=ltsaberhit06.wav
message  startup
message  timer

end

code

startup:
   
   SetTimer(minimumDelay + Rand() * (maximumDelay - minimumDelay));

   Return;

timer:

   PlaySoundThing(soundy, Ghosty, 1, -1, -1, 0);
   CreateThing(Templatey, Ghosty);
   SetTimer(minimumDelay + Rand() * (maximumDelay - minimumDelay));

   Return;

end

Ok, first things first, what you posted was not a bubble cog, it was a cog that generates a template at a ghost postition, and i guess ou changed the template to bubbles.

Secondly, you cant stop bubbles going through walls, best you can do it move the ghost object down until the bubbles fade away before they get to the wall.

You could do a sector flag check on the bubbles, and destroy them if the sector isn't flagged as underwater. Or even easier - Modify the bubble template with a timer of a few seconds. Or another way to do it in cog would be to use SetThingLifeLeft, which destroys a thing after the number of seconds has passed.

Well, the point is, I need... okay, I'll stop pestering everyone with these petty cog problems for a pathetic little newbie at editing, if someone can write a 'cogging for dummies- no, idiots' tutorial for this 'pathetic little newbie.' *cough* The problem Is I need to figure out how to make the bubbles dissapear when the come in contact with a solid adjoin or wall.

You can attach a cog to the template of the bubble using static.jkl.

For template stuff go to here

You need to add thingflags 0x400 to the bubble template and "cog=bubble.cog" and place the following stuff in a plain text named bubble.cog.

Code: 
   symbols

   message touched

   end

   touched:

      if(GetSenderType() != 3) DestroyThing(GetSourceRef());

      return;

   end
