I'm writing a teleport cog that does the following: once you activate one of two switches it opens up two gates. Once you go through one it takes you to the other. (Note: I have just made it so you can only go through one side at the moment...)

Portal.cog
Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# portal.COG


symbols
surface portaf1
surface portaf2
surface protaf3
surface portaf4

surface switch
surface switch2

message startup
message activated
message crossed
thing teleport
end

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

code
startup:
player=GetLocalPlayerThing();
return;

activated:
SetFaceGeoMode(portaf1,4);
SetFaceGeoMode(portaf2,4);
SetFaceGeoMode(portaf3,4);
SetFaceGeoMode(portaf4,4);
Sleep(10);
SetFaceGeoMode(portaf1,0);
SetFaceGeoMode(portaf2,0);
SetFaceGeoMode(portaf3,0);
SetFaceGeoMode(portaf4,0);
return;

crossed:
geomode=GetFaceGeoMode();
if(geomode == 4)
{
TeleportThing(player, teleport);
}
return;
# ........................................................................................

end


The surfaces appear, however it doesn't teleport you. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]
Any ideas?

I see one prob...

geomode=GetFaceGeoMode();

You didnt specify which surface to check the GeoMode on..

I think you need it like:

geomode=GetFaceGeoMode(GetSenderRef());

When it sends me to the ghost position I'm stuck in a HOM. Also, once the surface flags off, the sky flags go into a HOM.

Most likey your teleport thing does not have the correct sector. When the player is teleported, he will be given the sector of the teleport thing. And if it's wrong, you'll get HOM.

1.)How do I chose the right sector?
2.)When I turn the switch on for the first time, the portal comes on. Once the surfaces disapear, the sky above me HOMs. However, whenever I activate the switch again, it stops HOMing, but when the portal closes, it HOMs again...

There's a thing setting in JED for this. Enter the sector that your thing is in and see if that fixes it.

From what you said, it's hard to tell what your HOM problem is caused by. It could be a problem with the level settings, JED, or the cog verbs used. If you can't fix it, email the level to me and I'll take a look. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]
