Is it possible to have:

1. A concole that you can activate which switches your view to a ghost object. While at the ghost object, the cog uses the player action to catch your keys (i.e. jump, crouch) to perform different actions?

Does this require the use of a pulse?

I have no idea how to go about this, I have the concept but not the means to build this cog I'll look at the cog used for the surveillance cameras in MotS (this is for MotS, btw).

Ok, I found the LEC version, it made absolutely no sense to me, and it didn't have the usual descriptions in it.

Apparently you have no patience.

SetActionCog can trap your keys.
and the parenthesis flag for it is the key to which action to catch.

There is a good tutorial on Massassi that explains this playeraction cog. So that should help you some.

And if you want to catch jump and crouch look at stormtrooper zoom scope cog (or maybe that's what you looked) and try to copy and paste the certain parts of it.

Maybe u could take an existing cog and modify it. I know that there is one in the game. (JK) U could modify it for MotS. U see the cog in action in the city lvl. If u can find and "activate" Max in the lvl, u can see through his vision, but unlike the other cameras u might see in some lvls, ure controles are still recognized. Find and see if u can modify that cog.

Hmmm...

Might as well reveal one of two of my evil plots for this. I can more easily get help (and get my precious ideas stolen).

1. Make a television. Activate the thing and switches to a camera looking at animated mat. Jump and crouch change channels.

2. Make camera views while the player can walk around, a really cool 3rd person idea. It could even be activated to only work when 3rd person activated.

How would I do #2?
