Need another cog.
2001-06-08, 6:46 AM #1
Man, I wish I understood cog more so i wouldn't have to ask all the time, well anyway I naad a cog that will create lightning at a ghost position for a certain amount of time when activated by a switch.
So, you activate a switch, lightning comes from a ghost position for a specified amount of time and after the time is reached it stops. It's for MP.
Thanks in advance.
