I realize that this should be in the cog forum, but its not there for two reasons:
1. No one ever looks there, so my question won't be answered for some time.
2. This IS an editing question, so it logically can be here. Anyway:

I have this cog. I changed the message from activated: to startup: What's wrong with it? The game crashes right when it finishes loading.

Code: 
symbols

thing camera1
thing camera2
thing camera3
thing camera4
thing camera5
thing location
thing actor
thing newpos
thing newpos2
thing player
sector sec
template keything=

flex delay
flex delay2

message startup

end

code

startup:

// freeze Kyle
SetActorFlags(Player, 0xa00000);
StopThing(Player);


SetCameraFocus(0, camera1);
Sleep(delay2);
Print("Man, whoever invented this cog should die.");
Sleep(delay);
SetCameraFocus(0, camera2);
Print("Yeah, how confusing.");
Sleep(delay);
SetCameraFocus(0, camera1);
Print("Good thing the Massassi Forums are here.");
Sleep(delay);
Print("Yeah, then Xizor42 can get his question answered.");
Sleep(delay);
SetCameraFocus(0, camera3);
Destroything(keything, location);
AiSetMovePos(actor, getthingpos(newpos));
SetCameraFocus(0, camera4);
AiSetMovePos(player, getthingpos(newpos2));
SetCameraFocus(0, camera3);
Print("Man, someone better answer soon.");
Sleep(delay);
SetCameraFocus(0, camera5);
Print("Well, I don't intend to disappoint");

// unfreeze's Kyle
ClearActorFlags(Player, 0xa00000);

Return;

end


P.S. What does this part do?:
Code: 
Destroything(keything, location);
AiSetMovePos(actor, getthingpos(newpos));
SetCameraFocus(0, camera4);
AiSetMovePos(player, getthingpos(newpos2));

I think that the template keything definition in the symbols isn't meant to have then equals after it without anything being there. That's all I can see (but I haven't done much cog)

That little section is to destroy the template thing. It doesn't appear to do anything in this cog and it might also cause it to crash.
