I was wondering if it was possible for someone to make a cog that works like the anti grav cog, but instead of going up it takes you down. Thnx

Anti-grav, only going down? But, if it's going down, then it ain't anti-grav... Grav, is what makes everything come down, unless you are able to fly...

I'd use 00_sectorthrust.cog for that. If you want to go down extra fast ('pushed down'), set the vector to (0/0/-1) and some appropriate speed, like 5 or something. Don't forget to set the landing surface to 'no damage from falling'. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

If you want to 'float' down, set the vector to (0/0/1), and speed to 3 or something. That will make for a gentle touchdown. The thrust is now actually thrusting upwards, countering the effect of gravity. Don't set speed too high if you do this, otherwise the player will get too much upward thrust and keep floating.

This will work, I even tested it because I had nothing to do.

Code: 
# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# M5_ANTIGRAV2.COG
#
# Shoot the player upwards in the big tubes in M5
# Handles the 4 tubes in one script
