My friend needs help with a cog from a level and I know nothing of them. Anyways, it's Darth Gnarl using a Jeff Walters cog and here's the cog:

code

startup:
SetWallCel(decider,0);
return;

# ........................................................................................

activate:
if ((GetWallCel(decider) == 0) && (GetSenderId() == 1))
{ SendTrigger(-1, 600000 + curtID, decider, 1, curtainwav, 0);
//Open curtains
}
else if ((GetWallCel(decider) == 1) && (GetSenderId() == 1))
{ SendTrigger(-1, 600000 + curtID, decider, 12, curtainwav, 0);
//Close curtains
}
return;

He said the problem is that the curtain opens but doesn't close... and that he can't figure out what the decider is. I can't help so I came here. Thanks.

Edit: It's a Jeff Walters cog.

The other cog is requested. So that way we can see the whole picture.

Another post......

at least i made a level.

Rule Two, "Gravity is a crule misstress" -kyle katarn in MotS, and the alternatior MK I in AJTD

That's all I was given... *sigh* I have no idea what you guys are requesting.

ask him for the simbols section, and the "triggered" cog. he will understand

Yes, give us the triggered cog and use code tags!

------------------

And like shrike said I can get it to open but not close and I put the decider surface everywhere around it hahaha I dont know it I need some kind of different architecture, and I dont know cog language at all never studied "c"

------------------

does the decider surface texture have more than one cel to it?

the first cog needs it to have more than one cel for it to tell whether to open or close the curtain.

i have no idea what the 'remains' surfaces up in the symbols of the first cog are for, besides maybe just being more surfaces that you could activate.

OMFG, it burnes, oh the pain. No code tags, ahhh, no arrays, that isn't soo bad. Ahhh.

The problem is this, GetWallCel(), I don't like it, always gave me problems. Best thing to do is to have another local varible that controls if its open (1), or closed (0). You also don't need the surfaces blind and remains. This is all for the first cog.
