when using the symbol "damaged" in a COG on a surface, for some reason it only reacts when i hit the surface with the light saber, and even then i have to hit the surface a few times before it does anything. here's the cog if you want to take a look. any suggestions as to what the problem is?

Parsec says there's nothing wrong, so I'll have to look harder [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]. Next time, PLEASE use the code tags around your cog. It makes it easier to read.
FYI, this is just the cog inside code tags. I used Scribe to reformat it so it would be indented, etc, since when I copied it it appeared in Notepad just like it does above. I have not changed any of the coding, however. I'm not sure what's wrong.

Code:

See how much easier the tagged one was to read/follow than the untagged? If so, you see my point.

The code tags are used in the following format (minus the dashes):
[-code-]
Put ure code here

yeah, this problem got me very angry for a very long time. After all, breaking glass isn't that much fun if u can only break it with a saber.

The problem is you have to give the surface you want to process the damage a mask so it knows what kind of damage to process.

Here is the mask I made for one of the mission objectives in the level i'm currently working on. With this mask, the surface will call the damaged section of your cog if it is hit by: an explosion, the saber, or by a force power.

Code: 
thing		powertube01=-1	mask=0x440


It goes in the symbols section of your cog (der). I included what I used it on just so you can see where you put it in your cog. Just add the mask=0x440 at the end of your surface delcaration like I did above. If you want your surface to be damagible by other weapons other than what I said above, tell me and i'll try to figure out what mask you need.

thanks, that was actually pretty helpful

the problem is it doesn't always recognize that i hit the surface in the first place, even with the saber

do you know the mask for "saber and explosives" only by any chance?
