I'm having a problem with my custom TPL. Since this may or may not involve the COG (probably not.. but just maybe) I've posted this here. My actor is based off the bossk actor and is supposed to say things when shot/activated, as below:

MZZT.COG:
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# MZZT.cog
#
# AoG_Mega_ZZTer Interactive Actor (sort of)
#
# [MZZT]
#
# (C) 2001 The Mega-ZZTer
# ========================================================================================

symbols
message activate
message damaged

thing MZZT linkid=0

end

# ========================================================================================

code

activate:
PRINT("AoG_Mega_ZZTer: 'Stupid asteroid. Flattened my house.'");

damaged:
PRINT("AoG_Mega_ZZTer: 'Hey! Watch it!'");

end

This code is pretty simple, I can't imagine the problem being here... the problem probably lies in my template entry:

# DESC: The Mega-ZZTer
# BBOX: -.04 -.02 -.12 .04 .11 .07
MegaZZT _humanactor thingflags=0x20000400 model3d=bs.3do size=0.068100 movesize=0.068100 puppet=bs.pup soundclass=bs.snd cog=actor_bs.cog mass=120.000000 maxvel=0.400000 weapon=+econcbullet weapon2=+bosskswipe health=120.00 maxhealth=120.00 maxthrust=0.90 maxrotthrust=80.00 typeflags=0x20a0001

I know, I have a bunch of excess stuff in there, but I don't really know what I can safely take out...

Oh, yes... my problem:

The actor does not appear.. at all. At, least, I can't see him, or interact with where he's _supposed_ to be...

Plz answer me, I'm doing this for the Massassi City Project, and I can't really finish unless I fix this last bug.

Thx in advance for helping!

BTW, my guy shows up just fine in JED's preview and JED's 3DO preview.

Well, to start in your template entry there's no indication you want to use your own cog (unless actor_bs.cog calls MZZT.cog). Then, have you got an entry also for _humanactor and all its parents? And all other templates of your entry and theirs parents (+bosskswipe and +econcbullet)?
