I cant quite seem to get this cog to work, This is my first cog and I can figure out whats wrong with it.

Code:

# Music Switch.cog
#
# Plays sound when activated
#
# ~Dude~
#==============================================#
symbols

message activated
message deactivated
sound thesound
surface theswitch
flex volume=10


end
#==============================================#
code
#-----------------------------------
activated:
   Playsoundlocal(thesound); // Plays sound


Return;

deactivated:
   stopsound();
return;

#-----------------------------------
end

------------------
I and only I know what I'm thinking.

Hm... The whole COG is a mess...

First! A switch can not send a Deactivated message. So, you'll need to add an int, like: int on=0 local
Then add another int like: int c=1 local
Now... in the activated message, do this:

Code:

activated:
    if(GetSenderRef()!=theswitch) return; // If("The thing sending the message" "Isn't equel to" theswitch) "Leave the code now"
    If(on==0) //If("the int on" "is equel to" 0)
    {
        c=PlaySoundLocal(thesound,vol,balance,flags);
        on=1;
    }
    else if(on==1)
    {
        StopSound(c);
        on=0;
    }
return;
end

If you feel that something's missing in a verb (verb is something that gives the action like PlaySoundLocal) look them up in the COGwriter. You'll find them if you click on "New file" and "Line builder".

Hope that helps...

Accually you're better off using DataMaster (DM) Cogwriter isn't very good at all in its listings and checkings.....

This line is unnecessary since "the switch" is the only thing in the symbols section capable of sending messages.
Next, the stopsound command should be like this:

Code:

StopSound(c, fade_delay);

"fade_delay" is the time it takes for the sound to completely fade away. Put 0 if you want it to stop immediately.
