CreateTHingAtPos(ghost, GetThingSector(player), VectorAdd(GetThingPos(player),'0 0 .2', '0 0 0');

ok, i have added that, but now the cog doesnt work, i wish cog wasent so touchy [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

I have the code:
CreateThingatPos(ghost, GetThingSector(player), VectorAdd(GetThingPos(player),'0 0 .2', '0 0 0);

CreateThing(ioncol, ghost);

anything wrong there?

Oh and the whole cog is: (its based off of force grip, i am experimenting [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Instead of CreateThingatPos(ghost, GetThingSector(player), VectorAdd(GetThingPos(player),'0 0 .2', '0 0 0); use dummy = CreateThingatPos(ghost, GetThingSector(player), VectorAdd(GetThingPos(player),'0 0 .2', '0 0 0);
Then use CreateThing(ioncol, dummy);
