The saber is always blue (color=5). What's wrong?

JK only allows 28 models to be defined in one cog. To get around that, you can send messages or triggers to other cogs to see if cmodel matches one of the models defined there.

Have you got the "."'s in the action code?? Cause they will make the cog so it doesnt work I think.

Do you mean these points? Obviosly they arent in the original cog! They are there only to say that some very large parts are missing. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I FOUND IT!

The problem was about model declarations. You can see I declared them like this

Code:

model   firstvar   =firstmodel.3do   local
model   secondvar  =secondmodel.3do  local
model   thirdvar   =thirdmodel.3do   local

just to have them lined.

The problem was spaces between "=" and varnames. If I write like this

Code:

model   firstvar=firstmodel.3do    local
model   secondvar=secondmodel.3do  local
model   thirdvar=thirdmodel.3do    local

it works! Incredible!

I also noticed another thing about the limit of 28 model. It is not strictly true. I noticed same cases where with more than 28 worked and others with less didn't work. I think I have understand why.
When I used more complex models or levels it didn't work unless I take out some models. It depends also on the complexity of the level.
Examples:
- Level Complex, Greedo skin (head is more complex), few models --> works
- Level Complex, Greedo skin (head is more complex), many models --> doesn't work
- Level Simple, Greedo skin (head is more complex), many models --> works
- Level Complex, Yun skin (head is less complex), many models --> works
(N.B.: for "doesn't work" I mean that is not as expected; in some cases it crashed, in other cases it used kyle model instead of the right skin)

Can anyone confirm this? Try it!
I hope this is useful for the community...

I've 'heard' this is actaully whats happening:

The problem isnt the number of models, its the number of MATS. Try listing every MAT and 3D0 your extra models use in static.jkl and then try again.
