SetThingModel(GetThingModel(GetSenderRed()));?

------------------
I used to believe that we must fight the future, lest change come without our consent. I was wrong. The truth is that we must embrace the future, for only with change can we remain the same.

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

I haven't tried something like this before so... I might be wrong.
(a common typo by GBK) It is GetSenderRef();, and aren't there two params in the SetThingModel verb?

I'm guessing you can put this in the kyle.cog (add "message touched" to the symbols section)

Code:

touched:
SetThingModel(GetSenderRef(), GetThingModel(GetSourceRef()));
return;

^^^ Based on GBK's example.

[edit] Ooops I think I misunderstood you. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]

Yeah try the code below. (GBK's code with an added param and condition statement so that we don't change projectiles and other actors [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

[http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

)

Code:

if(GetSourceRef() == GetLocalPlayerThing())
     SetThingModel(GetLocalPlayerThing(), GetThingModel(GetSenderRef()));

Add it in the "touched" message of the class cog of the thing you want the player to morph into.
(oops, did GetSenderRed() [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]

)
