What is the simplest cog I can use that would make a 3d0 move like door/elevator except horizontaly?

Either the door or elevator cogs would work. Just set the frames on the 3do to the different positions (see the doors or elevators tutorials). I would suggest not using the door cog b/c you will probably run into HOM problems with it.

Ok, I have a cog that works well. But I have another prob now. Whenever I put a 3do in my level, I get a floor flag error. And I have tried the 3do's that come with the game, not just custom ones.

Not quite sure what you mean by a "Floor flag error". I'm guessing you should try setting the "can be stood on" check box in the item editor?

What parent template are you using?

I was the thing flag. Works fine now.

Here is another question. I am unexperienced with cogs. How could I add sound to this silent elevator cog?

# Jedi Knight Cog Script
#
# 00_MTRIGELEV.COG
#
# Script for C1 Multiple Triggers Elevators
#
# Handles up to 4 trigger plates and up to 4 crossable adjoins
# to trigger the lift movement to frame 1 at speed 'speed'.
# The lift will remain there for 'delay' seconds, then go back to frame 0.
# Note that entering the lift itself also triggers it.

Have you tried adding a snd file to the template for your bridge? Except for the activation sound, that's what plays the sounds when an elevator or door moves.

Ok, I figured out how to mess around with the template creator and used a SND file for the bridge. How can I convert sound files to SND files? And are there downloadable ones?

The snd files are just text files that reference what wav files to play at what times. Try opening one of the elevator or door snd files in wordpad to get an idea.

Thanks for being patient with me and answering so quickly.
