Make a version of your gun 3do with a muzzle flash on it (like an actuall mesh) then change the model when you fire.

Or you can make your 3do with a thin area at the end for a 2 (or more) frame mat one that is transperent and one that is the shot then use a cog to anmiate the mat's frames.
You can add this to a guns fire cog.

Code:

symbols

message	startup	
material	animmat	
end

## Code Section

code

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

startup:
	materialanim(animmat, 1, 1);
	return;
end

------------------

I'm a cog newbie so what would I have to do to send a trigger?

Couldn't you just fire a projectile with a speed of 0?
