Force Fields

ok, in this level i am making, i was going to make some remote droids drop from the ceiling when a button was pushed and attack whoever pushed it. What i planned to do was have them pinned up in the top of the level with a forcefield, but the I need the field to automatically cut on when the game loads, and after all the remotes are destroyed I need it to cut back on. Oh, also I was going to put a forcefield on the door they came through so they would be trapped, but after the droids are destroyed that has to come down too. Where could I find a cog like that, or could someone make it for me? Thanks,

How does this sound; Forget about the remotes existing on startup, and use a enemy generator? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

Code: 
#03/2002 GBK
Symbols
Message Activated
Message Timer
Thing Ghost
Surface Switch
Template Ene_type
End
Code
Activated:
If(Getwallcel(Switch) != 0) Stop;
AIsetfiretarget(Creatething(Ene_type, Ghost), Getsourceref());
Setwallcel(Switch, 1);
Settimer(1.5);
Stop;
Timer:
Setwallcel(Switch, 0);
Stop;
End


Untested, but should work.

Umm, one question, How do I make this cog code work in my level? I know it can be made in notepad, but how do I import it in jed? Thanks,

just paste it in an empty notepad textfile and save it as bla.cog. Make sure you have selected "All files" in the dropdown list.
Then place it in your project directory, and in jed, hit f7 and click on add cog. Choose your cog and fill in the fields you need, then hit refresh and you are done.
