One quick question- I've been trying to make Jawa Tag versitile so that it can be used on any level. I tried linking it in items.dat, but that didn't seem to work. Any ideas on how to make it work on any level? I believe this is why I can't get the code to work, (not even debugging text) but I'll post the re-written code below. BTW -thanks Hideki. Haven't tested it yet, but we'll soon find out. Also, can I use GetNumPlayers() somehow to make sure it doesn't pick over the number of players in the game?

Anyhow, I didn't quite understand what you meant. Also, does your answer cover the 'any level' perdicament I'm in, or was it something else?![[http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]](http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif "http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif")
