something like an elevator cog?

Don't forget to add a puppet to the template. puppet=cr.pup should be fine. It is VITAL to do so, or your frames will NOT run. (This is the most commonly forgotten thing when trying to play keys...)

this thread is about frames, not keys.

What cog you need to use, depends on what needs to happen with the frames. You'd have to explain further.

simpleelevator.cog worked after some simple modifications; however, I need it to loop. Right now it goes from 1-8 then 8-1 repeate how can I simply loop it? :confused:

note: speed and waittime I don't use.

Code: 
# Generic elevator

symbols
message	startup

thing	elevator	desc=elevator_object
flex	speed=2.0	desc=movement_speed
flex	waittime=4.0	desc=wait_time_at_stop
end

#COG code section
code
startup:
	while (1>0)
	{
		movetoframe(elevator, 1, 50);
		waitforstop(elevator);
		sleep(waittime);
		movetoframe(elevator, 2, 40);
		waitforstop(elevator);
		sleep(waittime);
		movetoframe(elevator, 3, 30);
		waitforstop(elevator);
		sleep(waittime);
		movetoframe(elevator, 4, 20);
		waitforstop(elevator);
		sleep(waittime);
		movetoframe(elevator, 5, 10);
		waitforstop(elevator);
		sleep(waittime);
		movetoframe(elevator, 6, 10);
		waitforstop(elevator);
		sleep(waittime);
		movetoframe(elevator, 7, 20);
		waitforstop(elevator);
		sleep(waittime);
		movetoframe(elevator, 8, 30);
		waitforstop(elevator);
		sleep(waittime);
	}
end


Thanks.

I think you need JumpToFrame...too lazy to check the Datamaster to verify.

Although the DM is still a good resource, I'm no longer updating it, and I want editors to start using one of the online wikis. I set up an editing wiki at [url]www.bitcan.net/wiki[/url] which contains all of the DM's information with some updates / corrections. It's now much more searchable, but it's running on my DSL connection here in San Diego.

Centrist, there's a Wiki on the JKHub I think. Ask ZeqMacaw about it.

Sabermaster? When did you change your name? :confused:


A wiki is a good idea, actually - now I finally have somewhere to jot down all the esoteric tidbits about JK editing that I figured out the hard way over the years... ;)
And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

I did get it to work finally. I downloaded the Database and found a *ToFrame that worked. Can't remember off the top of my head. Thanks for your help guys.

That's why I said "one of the online wikis." The hub's project looks incomplete, and to be honest, poorly organized. I started writing mine before I knew of the hub's wiki, and I'm not trying to compete with it, but I know all of the DM's content has been transfered. And there's updates as well.

I got this account back in late 2004. I wasn't posting much on Massassi at the time I changed my name, but I've been paying more attention lately.
