Would it work if you just changed the local to a global? Like so.

Code:

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
# 00_RandomAmbient.cog
# Plays a random sound at random intervals with random volume and panning
#
#
# [SXC]
# (C) 1997 LucasArts Entertainment Co. All Rights Reserved

symbols
	message		startup
	message		timer

	sound		wav0
	sound		wav1
	sound		wav2
	sound		wav3
	int		numsounds

	flex		min_interval
	flex		range_interval
	flex		min_volume
	flex		range_volume

	int		temp		local
end

code

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

startup:
	settimer(min_interval+(rand()*range_interval));
	return;

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

timer:
	temp = rand()*numsounds;
	playsoundglobal(wav0[temp], (min_volume+(rand()*range_volume)), ((rand()*2)-1.0), 0);
	settimer(min_interval+(rand()*range_interval));
	return;
end

	sound		wav0
	sound		wav1
	sound		wav2
	sound		wav3

	flex		max_interval
	flex		min_volume
	flex		range_volume

	int		temp		local
end

code

startup:
	settimer(min_interval+(rand()*(max_interval-min_interval)));
	return;
timer:
	temp = rand()*numsounds;
	playsoundglobal(wav0[temp], min_volume+(rand()*range_volume), (rand()*2)-1.0, 0);
	settimer(min_interval+(rand()*(max_interval-min_interval)));
	return;
end

I'd probably create an array of ghost object "things" (dot them around your level) and an array of ambient sounds and then use either PlaySoundPos() or PlaySoundThing(), using the Rand() verb to select random sounds in random places...

At least that would be my take on things. You could also make the cog local (flags=0x240) to improve performance

Hope these ideas help

makeing that cog local would do no more than cause errors, unless you localised the sound but thats gonna decrese preformace.

As to A_persons cog, i really think you should rember the magic of PARSEC... it kinda... tells you when there is an error (as in this case, allthough im not shure what)

and jacpot, your idea dosent seem to be quite as efficiant as spirals for his project. but you wouldent know that.. so no biggie
