i made an actor cog for a MOD. it's supposed to create something upon death, i substituted the template in create weapon, but it didn't work. i tried the template in a diffrent cog and it works fine. any ideas what the problem is?

Then you're either not creating the powerup correctly, or you have a syntax error. Post the cog, and we'll take a look.

Actually, it just doesn't associate the actor COG with the template for some reason...any reason it wouldn't do that?

In the template, add 'cog=Yourcog.cog'.

Then, in the cog, add:

Code:

Created:
Actor = Gesenderref();
Capturething(Actor);
Stop;

Then, add your creatething code under 'Killed'.

You don't need to make the same cog the class and capture cog of a thing.

All you need to do is put cog=yourCog.cog in the template. There's no need to capture it also.
