Code:

symbols

thing       player            local
thing       door
thing       ghost
int         randsky           local
material    box=stroombox.mat local
message     activated
message     trigger

end


code

activated:
   door == GetSenderRef();
   player == GetSourceRef(); 
   SendTrigger(-1, 56789123, player, 0, 0, 0);
   TeleportThing(player,ghost);  
   Return;

trigger:
if(GetSourceRef() == 56789123)
{
   randsky == (Rand()*10);
   If(randsky > 5)
   {randsky == (randsky - 5);}
   SetMaterialCel(box,randsky); 
}
Return;
end

When activated, this is sposed to change a material to a random cell between 1 and 5. but it wont change the cell [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

Try something like this:

Code:

Randsky = Rand()*10;
While(Randsky > 4) {
Randsky = Rand()*10; }
Setmaterialcel(Box, Randsky);

NOTE: Material cels are numberd from 0.

Errrrr I think I see alot of mistakes in that cog ...... lets see if this does the trick.

Code:

symbols
thing       player            local
thing       door
thing       ghost
int         randsky           local
material    box=stroombox.mat local
message     activated
message     trigger

end

code

activated:   

door = GetSenderRef();   
player = GetSourceRef();    
SendTrigger(-1, 567823, player, 0, 0, 0);   
TeleportThing(player, ghost);    
 
Return;

trigger:

if(GetSourceRef() == 567823)
{   
randsky = Rand()*10;   
If(randsky > 5)   
{
randsky = randsky-5;
}   

SetMaterialCel(box, randsky); 

Return;

end
