The print thing was to debug the COG...it never appeared.

The code looks good, but its possible that having the line:

ai ai1=pednarsh.ai local

is causing some interferance with the compiler. Typically, you dont name something the same as the type

ie: thing thing1
or flex flex1

That and the way arrays work in JK might be confusing the compiler. Try renaming to something, like turai or turretai and see if it works then.

Greven thats what I thought when I did it but its the only way I knew to set JK ai... But I was thinking:

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script 
# 
# turretai.cog 
# 
# When wirepanel is slashed, door1 moves 
# 
# The turrets became disabled.

thing turret1 
thing turret2 
ai ai1=pednarsh.ai local 
end

SetWallCel(wirepanel, 0);
MoveToFrame(door1, 1, speed);

AiSetClass(turret2, ai1);

end
