What I need to do is to create a second player that looks identical when the player dies, but I do not know how to get it to be the same model/skin...shouldn't be too hard, right?

Creatething(Getthingtemplate(Player), Player);

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

2 player things don't show up at the same time. It needs to be an actor. c/p the walkplayer template, change type=player to type=actor . Then CreateThing(dplayer, player);

notes - dplayer is the name for the second player thing. Same principal as in cutscenes.

Well, I realy just need it to look like the player, it doesn't have to move or anything, maybe play an animation is all.

Create the dummy actor template via fire projectile

make a flags=0x240 cog for the dummy template

under created: just SetThingModel(GetSenderRef(), GetThingModel(GetThingParent(GetSenderRef())));

Thats the Multiplayer way of doing it anyway...... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]
