Keep 3do's in local sector

Any way to check every 0.1 sec for the players position and re-assign specified 3do's to the local players current sector? This is kind of like a step beyond the "flicker.cog".

setThingSector() doesn't exist. There is no way (AFAIK) to set a thing's sector with cog. The only way to do this is by destroying and recreating the object with the sector you want.

This is precisely what my original flicker.cog did. I seem to recall it not working very well.

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

You could create a thing in the desired sector/pos and use TeleportThing(), so you aren't destroying the "real" thing.

if(GetLocalPlayerThing() != jkGetLocalPlayer()) call implode_universe;

Try this "flicker" cog. It does what __Ace_1_ suggested.

(It is found among many other useful cogs and mods in my Tidbits project.)

Nevermind, I don't know why I thought the flicker.cog I had wouldn't work. Works just fine, actually.
