I tried to make a cog to simply move a thing to a specified frame on startup (MP lvl, btw), but it doesn't work at all! I need a cog that will do this. (On a side note, if you have a damaged/broken version of 00tdown.mat, I would appreciate it if you would gimme a link. ).

TY

(NOTE: I also failed on making a cog that put +sparks on a surface on startup, like 00_neonsign.cog does. I practically copied the code, but nothing happens. I don't need a cog that does this anymore, but I would appreciate knowing what I did wrong.)

try this:


#COG type thing
symbols
message startup

thing moveme

flex speed=2.0 desc=movement_speed

end

#COG code section
code

startup:
movetoframe(moveme, 1, speed);
return;
//always good to have a return;
end

Ty Vader for replying, but I have since expanded my level, and as a side effect to a change I had to make, I no longer need the cog or the mat.

(FYI, I found out what I was doing wrong. I had a nasty syntax error, which JK wasn't telling me about, and it just ignored my cog. Let this be a warning to all of you reading this... ))

Oh, yeah, one more thing:

Moderator, please close this topic, ty.

JK will reject a cog with a syntax error like a baboon heart. At first I was annoying that missing a semi colon with screw up my cog...but think of it this way: would you rather the cog half worked? or you just knew you had a syntax error somewhere?

Besides, cogwriter has a syntax checker...now if only it had a find/replace function (!) I wouldn't ever need to use notepad!
