I just made a cog for my level so that you can pick whether you have a Jan skin or a Kyle skin and they have different points to spawn at when they pick their skin, but it doesn't work. I suspect that it has something to do with the GetSource Ref or jkGetLocalPlayerThing.

Here it is:

Code: 
# The Gender Choice for the begining of my level.
# [scott_karana]

symbols

thing player local
thing manspawn  //ghost for the spawn
thing womanspawn  // see above comment... :P
model male=ky.3do local
model female=kya10.3do local
surface man linkid=1
surface woman linkid=2
message activated
end

# ========================================================================================

code

player=jkGetLocalPlayerThing;
activated:
if (GetSourceRef==player)
{
if (GetSenderID() == 1)
{
Teleport(player,manspawn);
SetThingModel(player,male);
}
if (GetSenderID() == 2)
{
Teleport(player,womanspawn);
SetThingModel(player,female);
}
}

# ........................................................................................

end

Can someone help? Oh, and sorry for picking on the guy who kept asking about gamma. I'm havin' the same problem now... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif] j/k,j/k!!! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

There are a few problems with the code. The
player=jkGetLocalPlayerThing; statement needs to follow the Activated: message - otherwise it isn't carried out. There needs to be a return; statement at the end. Hope that helps. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

And shouldn't the
Code: 
if (GetSourceRef==player)
{
if (GetSenderID() == 1)
{

be written as
Code: 
if(GetSourceRef==player && GetSenderID() == 1)

Oh thanks, I don't believe that I missed that! Wow, CogWriter's syntax checker needs to be improved...

Boba Rhett, the code is checking whether the linkid is = 1 or = 2 so those if statements are separate.

Oh, hehe, it's TeleportThing, not Teleport... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif] GOTCHA!
