I am building a camera wire cog that when you activate a console it will flash to a camera and then the camera will run between to frames on a 'wire'. it will go to the first frame and works fine, when i activate the console again it stays at frame 1 instead of already moved back to frame 0 and begin moving to frame 1. complicated...not really i hope either its this or my frames are messed up which i am doubting:

end

code
activated:
//if (phuck != 1) return;
if (IsThingMoving(camera)) return;
if (GetCurFrame(camera) != 0) return;

Sleep(start_wait);

MoveToFrame(camera, 1, speed);
Sleep(start_wait);
if (GetCurFrame(camera) == 0) return;
SetTimer(speed);
return;

timer:
// Sleep(speed);
MoveToFrame(camera, 0, speed);
//phuck==0
return;

end

I didn't have much time to concentrate on this because my brother won't leave so I can think. but maybe its moving the camera towards point 0, and point 1 at the same speed and time, thus canceling out movement. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure that I understand what you're trying to say. Please rephrase the problem. Are you saying you want it to move back from one frame to the other when you activate it?

BTW-lose the ph**k in the code. It's childish and offensive.

hey sorry tazz, i wont do it again... anyway, i meant that it will work properly when activated, it will move from frame 0 to frame 1 and then you cant view the camera anymore (because of a delay), then you get teleported but thats a sector cog, anyhow, you come back and activate the console again and it STAYS at frame 1 instead of what it was supposed to do. After the first activation the camera should have come back to frame 0.. however it simply stays at frame 1, thus when you activate the 2nd time... it is already at frame 1 and doesnt do anything but return; see if that helps Thanks!

Try loosing the timer, and simply doing:

...
MoveToFrame(camera, 1, speed);
Sleep(speed);
MoveToFrame(camera, 0, speed);
...
