Why won't the surface change???

ok I'm workin on a tournament cog for a mod that i'm doin. basically there are four different entrances to a sector. Once the sector has been entered twice then I want the entraces to turn to geo 4 and and transparent. I've already given it a sheild texture so once it changes to visible it should look like the shield. this is what I came up with for the cog

Code:

symbols 
int       dude 0 local
sector	*
surface	1
surface	2
surface	3	
surface	4
surface	5
surface	6
surface	7
surface	8
 
message       entered
message       startup
end 
# ======================================================================================== 
code 
startup:
sleep(2.0);
print("I'm here");
return;

entered:
dude = dude + 1;

if (dude == 2) 
{
for (i=1; i<=8; i=i+1)
{
SetFaceGeoMode(i , 4);
SetSurfaceFlags (i , 0x4);             
}
}

end

it prints when i enter the sector twice but nothing happens to the surfaces. Any ideas.

a few things:

"i" is never defined in the symbols

Your array is not specifically searching for surfaces

There is some serious problems with this cog:

1) When defining local variables, do it like this:

Int Dude=0 Local

Dont forget the =.

2) Never call a variable a single charecter, and certainly not a numeral.

3) You never defined an object, to enter the sector. Add 'Thing Player Local' to the symbols, and 'Player = JKgetlocalplayer();' to the code.

The fixed version:

Code:

symbols
int dude=0 local
Thing Player Local
Sector Trigger
Surface Shield_0
Surface Shield_1
Surface Shield_2
Surface Shield_3
Surface Shield_4
Surface Shield_5
Surface Shield_6
Surface Shield_7
message entered
message startup
end 
code 
startup: sleep(2.0);
print("I'm here");
Player=JKgetlocalplayer();
return;
entered:
dude=dude+1;
if(dude==2) { for(i=0;i<=7;i=i+1) {
SetFaceGeoMode(Shield_0, 4);
SetSurfaceFlags (Shield_0, 0x4); } }
Stop;
end
