Your template should have angvel=(p/y/r) in it to rotate the object. There is one instance that this has not worked for in the past that I am personally aware of. If it doesn't work, you'll have to use cog.

Also note that I may have forgotten some other part(s) to the template, so if it doesn't work, don't assume automatically that you must use a cog.

OK... if you'd rather use the cog...
Add "return;" on its own line right before the "startup:" line. In your thing attribute editor in Jed, you should add a value called "numframes" and put "1" in the box. Then add a value called "frame" and enter the things position (whatever its x y z coords are) followed by the pitch, yaw, and roll as described in the cog's comment lines. If your walkway were at the center of the level, the frame would look like this:
"(0/0/0:0/360/0)". Other than that, I don't see what could be wrong with the cog.

YO, I'd add that the max volume for a sound is 1, not 5.


That's for physics movement. He's using path movement so that can't work.

when i tested with another person, they could see them rotating and i couldn't. but i could for like 3 seconds in the begining. maybe the cog is only designed for single player, but i want it to work for multiplayer. here is the cog:


# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# TJC_rotwalk.cog
#
# Generic spinning walk cog. the walkway's first frame should have a yaw of 360 to make it spin in continus circles.
# lagg can cause the walkway to pause breifly at the end of each turn.
#
# JK version
#
# This Cog is Not supported by LucasArts Entertainment Co

symbols
thing walkway
sound whoosh
int dummy local
flex time desc=speed
message startup
message arrived
end

# ========================================================================================

code
arrived:
StopSound(dummy, 0);
startup:
dummy = PlaySoundThing(whoosh, walkway,5,5,10,0x81);
RotatePivot(walkway, 0, Time);
return;

# ........................................................................................
end

As stated earlier, put a return; after StopSound(dummy, 0);

Jack: "Why not!"

Someone told me to put return; above startup:, and when i did thet they circled 3 times then they stopped. so, if putting a return; after StopSound(dummy, 0); will make it so others can see them rotate, i will do it. otherwise there is no problem with them.

No return is needed - if you want it to keep rotating. As it is, on startup the cog will start the rotation and play a sound. When the thing 'arrives' at this frame, it stops / starts the sound and tries to rotate it again.

Why stop and then restart the sound if it's going to be playing the whole time?

When you described the problem above, were you the host in the game? Because if you were, and it didn't work, then it's not a multiplayer problem.

Oh, so because the arrived message is above startup then it will just continue into the startup message and loop?
I've never tried anything like that before, I didn't think it was possible without JK giving an error.

Jack: "Why not!"

I ALWAYS forget that.

Sure it's possible. It pays to read tutorials.

When i tested it i WAS the host in the game and the weird thing is, when i came into the game they spun, and then i went into my options and changed my settings back because i just reinstalled, and when i clicked return to game, they were frozen diagonlly, on my computer, and i could jump and walk on them, but the player i was with saw them moving. so... i dunno. i need an expert like you guyes to figure that one out. :-D

But when you play normally (without changing settings) it works for both of you?

When i am playing with another guy, i go in as host i can see them moving but the joiner cant besides the begining. i found out that when im not host and i join, i can appear in the level and see the walkways move untill i start walking then they stop. its weird. there has to be a cause for this so plz help me out.

check out the help my rotation cog wont work in mp topic here in the cog forum.
its about the same problem that it sounds like your having.
i made a cog that may fix the not spinning for anyone that joins problem but it still needs some testing.
