I've put the cog switch from the guardian wad intp a 1 room small test level. I can convert it to a tom file ok. But when I go to play the level and press the level name on the load screen the program returns to my desktop.

Can anyone help?

If you remove the cog switch, does the level still chrash? If yes, the problem might not be with the cog switch.

if I remove the switch the program works I have founf the switch is also in the guard prj for the editor, so I built an extra two rooms in that prj and placed the switch & door in these rooms. The level then loaded but crashed to the desktop when Lara turned the switch.

I had familiar problems, but the game chrashed when Lara looked at the switch (I used the one from the chambers of Tulun wad) lol

Try to turn the switch which, is already placed in the project. If that chrashes, the switch might not work at all!!

This cog switch works together with doortype 3 from the guard wad. Press 1 in the OCB of the door. When you use the cog then the door will open slowly upwards.

Also beware that you CAN NOT trigger enemy's on the cog switch. Then the level will crash!!!

Thanks guys think something with the trigger or the ocb bits caused the crash.

Place the trigger on one of the sides Lara can access the cog switch, like this:

a - accesable square
c - cog switch square

a
c
a

But if you've done it like that, then just make sure if you didn't place the trigger on the other side.
