I am in major need of help in cogging.

I need two seperate cogs or both combined into one. One cog does this: It makes steam that rises countinually at a ghost position (about 20 ghost positions)such as the steam that rises from your shot wen you shoot a force field with an energy weapon. That's easy enough.
The second cog is a bit trickier. WHen you flip a specified surface switch, the steam stops, and lightning starts randomly coming from about 30 ghost positions. Is this possible?

FireProjectile(ghost0[rand], lightning, fireSound, 24, '0 0 0', '0 0 0', 1.0, 0x60, autoAimXFOV, autoaimZFOV);
}

return;

end


Okay just attatch this cog to the surface that you want activated .... you will need to put in the empty template for the steam. Other then that, it should be fine, if you find that the lightning is firing to fast from random ghost to ghost , after the fireprojectile put Sleep(seconds) to slow it down.

Have fun Zell

Well, thanks, but I meant in single player, not a trap. you flip the switch, the steam stops, and lightning like the red pool with lightning in level 3 in JK. It starts as soon as you flip the switch no matter whether you're in the sector or not. Thanx forthe cog anyways. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]
