Another question, though this one might be a little less brain fry. Some has been omited to keep the use of the cog a little secret, but you could probably guess anyways what it does. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

An explination and code comments would help speed up the process (at least you got some tabs).

Try not destroying the thing the camera is looking from. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] Set the view back before you destroy cam.

Emon, this is a simple cog, and comments aren't really nessecary on any cog that is less then 200 lines or only 1 or 2 things that are to be accomplished. I believe this fits that criteria.

Not only that, but the problem was obvious after following the code. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]
