need some help with a COG

OOOOOK! so i am trying to make a cog for a puzzle...thing, for a level i am doing over at the jkhub.
everything works fine and dandy except for the last part! the part at the end that is commented out with the forward slashes (//) stops the script from running at all... any thoughts??
Code:

thing    lever0    linkid=0
thing    lever1    linkid=1

thing    tile0    nolink
thing    tile1    nolink
thing    tile2    nolink

flex    waittime=2.0

        currentstop = currentstop+1;
        if (currentstop == 3) {
            currentstop = 0;

       //(currentstop2 == 1) {
            //MoveToFrame(door0, 1, movespeed);
            //}
    return;

"currentstop2" is mispelled in your symbols section as "correntstop2".

This thread should really be in the Cog Forum.

I know jack all about cog, but if it's like any other programming language I've used in the past many years, the if statement is borked.

if (currentstop == 0 && currentstop1 == 2...) {MoveToFrame(door0, 1, movespeed);


Basically, you were putting the additional comparisons outside the if statement instead of inside it.

I'm at the office, so I can't test it, but it should work.
I reworked it a little so that there's no code duplication, and I got rid of the Sleep call (sleeps are never a good idea in setups like this: they don't prevent the user from starting the action again and mucking things up).[/COLOR]

I love this thread. Reminds me of when gbk helped me out on a cog and I managed to totally annoy him with my ignorant remarks. Good times! :v:

Damn, that's it, I'm going to fish out my old Nar Shaddaa project and get to it. JK editing is so much fun.
