I need a cog.

The cog I need is sorta like the neonsign.cog, except I need it to operate 2 signs/surfaces, and when 1 gets damaged, both signs/surfaces will go to the frame 1.
Example, I have 2 signs, I damage one and BOTH signs go to frame 1 so they looks damaged.
Can someone make this for me or tell me how to modify the existing neonsign.cog?

Oh, and it is for multiplayer.

Here's the cog modified for 2 signs. I don't edit in MP; if 00_neonsign.cog works in multiplayer than so will the modification. When you add this cog in JED you'll need to enter the numbers for the 2 sign surfaces and pick a sound for the explosion when the sign is damaged.

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
# 2_neonsign.cog modified from 00_neonsign.cog
#
# Use with 2 neon signs, if damaged, both go to frame 0.
#
# this cog will cycle through frames 0-(lastFrame-1), at framerate fps
# if damaged, it will go to frame lastFrame and stop, create sparks and sound
#
# Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co.

	template	sparks=+sparks	desc=created_when_shot
	sound		exp_sound	desc=played_when_shot

code

//-----------------------------------------------------------------

startup:
	// Start the animation looping but skipping the first 2 frames
	SurfaceAnim(sign1, fps, 0x5);
	SurfaceAnim(sign2, fps, 0x5);
	return;

//-----------------------------------------------------------------

damaged:
	if (GetWallCel(sign1) == 0) return;

	StopSurfaceAnim(sign1);
	StopSurfaceAnim(sign2);

	if (exp_sound)
		PlaySoundPos(exp_sound, SurfaceCenter(sign1), 1.0, -1, -1, 0);

	garbage = SetWallCel(sign1, 0);
	garbage = SetWallCel(sign2, 0);

	garbage = CreateThing(sparks, GetSourceRef());
	return;
end

[edit] If you want sparks to show from both signs than use the following 2 lines instead of the last one in the code:

garbage = CreateThing(sparks, sign1);
garbage = CreateThing(sparks, sign2);
