I wil start with my situation (as it amy help understand)

Im making one of those levels where it is a train with the scrolling walls and teh train itself holding still. But to make it look more realistic, i want to have those little "Booths" fly by the train like they were on the side of the tunnel.

Heres what i need. I need to cog that will generate a 3do (the booth) about every 10 seconds. The booth will automatically be moving because i will modifly the template. So basically the cog will generate the booth's at the end of the tunnel and they will fly by the train with the same speed as the walls. But, if the levels goes for too long, i will break the thing limit, so these booth's need to be removed after 1 minute of being generated. I fyou need more information, say so.

I do believe there is a cog that creates and destroys a 3do (after it goes across the area it is supposed to...) in the first level in JK...the part where the crates are moving...

Nope :/
Load the map up in JED and go to that section and see what Cogs are being used to narrow the list down ...

why don't you just add a timer to the template, so it will be destroyed automatically?

No need. The cog I wrote will do it automatically...

Here it is if anyone else wants it.

Code:

#06/2002 GBK
Symbols
Message Startup
Message Pulse
Message Timer
Thing Ghost
Template Type
Flex Pulse_rate=10
Flex Halflife=60		#How long the object exists
End
Code
Startup: Sleep(0.5);
Setpulse(Pulse_rate); Stop;
Pulse:
Settimerex(Halflife, Creatething(Type, Ghost), -1, -1);
Stop;
Timer: Destroything(Getsenderid()); Stop;
End

Of course, if you use it, credit me... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Mad, half-life in cogs! Great variable name.

(Yes I know what a half-life is... not the game)
