normally when i wrote a cog i was able to fix any errors. but i don't know why this cog doesn't work.
it does work if i remove the damaged message and the "return;" below the startup-section.
i hope someone can help me.

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# podpuzzle.COG
#
# Written by JB
#
# moves the pod in the first hangar forward to frame 1 when the switch is hit.
# 
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

surface      switch                                                           
int          done                               local

   PlaySoundThing(start,pod,1,0,50,0x40);
   MoveToFrame(pod, 1,2); 
   WaitForStop(pod);

I don't know why it doesn't work, but you can simplify it -- you don't need a startup message (see below). Also I would try adding the mask=0x448 for the switch - I think this is needed for the switch to send a damaged message when hit -- the surface will generate a message when hit by weapon (0x8), explosion (0x40), or player (0x400).

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# podpuzzle.COG
#
# Written by JB
#
# moves the pod in the first hangar forward to frame 1 when the switch is hit.

#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

thing pod nolink
surface switch mask=0x448
int done=0 local
message damaged
sound start=funicularstart01.wav local
sound ende=funicularstop01.wav local
end
# ============================================
code
damaged:
if (!done)
  {
  done=1;
  PlaySoundThing(start,pod,1,0,50,0x40);
  MoveToFrame(pod,1,2);
  WaitForStop(pod);
  PlaySoundThing(ende,pod,1,0,50,0x40);
  }
return;
end
