I want to make a 3DO go straight out just straight out for so long then return back to its starting point. i tried using simple elevator cogs but :/ i just know theres more i have to do to the object than that.

i looked at your cog and tried it in my level i assigned it a vector that took it straight for 10 seconds to test it . but it does not move. i liked how simple the idea was but let me explain more clearly now that i know how it works.

Same idea, you activate a switch and it sends the shuttle out for the specified time but when the time is up instead of teleporting it sleeps for so long, then returns on another vector for the exact same time. also it would have another switch so you could call it from the other location.
