Well, i writ this cog to move a thing through 30 frames, stop for 10 seconds, then go back to frame one. Only problem is, when the thing gets to about frame 3 or 4 or 5, the thing disappears. I have double checked ALL 30 of the frames, and they are all ok, so i think it is a cog problem. I am quite confident if my cogging skills, but not enough to think i havent made an error [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

It would be appreasiated if someone could take a look and tell me what i am missing.

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# runawaytrain.cog
#
#
# This will make a cart follow a specified path using frames.

Try adding a Print("Moved to frame #"); before each frame to debug.

One reason why the cart 3do may disappear is if it is moving through more than one sector. A 3do will disappear if it's center dot is inside a sector that is not in your field of vision. This is a problem if a 3do extends out of one sector and into another.
