How would i make the following cog start again straight after it has finished?

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# moveframe.cog
#
#
# This will make a thing follow a specified path using frames.

#(/\/\/\/\(()============================================================-
symbols

message startup

thing light

int movespeed=2
int waittime=10

end
#(/\/\/\/\(()============================================================-

code
# ....................
startup:


MoveToFrame(light, 1, movespeed);

WaitForStop(light);

MoveToFrame(light, 0, movespeed);

WaitForStop(light);


return;

end

Hrm..... you'd think the "return" would have done it.....

In my mind I can see your face, as Your love pours down in a shower of grace. Some people tell me that Your just a dream, but my faith is the evidence of things unseen.

Once upon a time God spoke to me, and then I was never the same again.

Use a timer, I'd think...

For instance:

startup:
SetTimer(whatever);

timer:
Do whatever

If you just sync the timer with the thing's movement, it should work out alright...

[Ah, wait. You can use the arrived message, I believe. Be easier probably.]

MoveToFrame(light, 1, movespeed);

WaitForStop(light);

MoveToFrame(light, 0, movespeed);

return;

end

That should work, I see no reason why it wouldn't. Of course, I've never tried to make a message call itself. Try it and see.
