First it's important to note that there are two types of cog switch as shown in the picture below.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]The cog switch on the left is found in the Race for the Iris Wad (ANG-RACE.TR4) The centre switch can be found in the Guardian Wad (GUARD.TR4)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]Both of these should only be placed on a ledge. If placed on the floor it normally results in the level crashing when Lara operates it.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black] The switch on the right is found in the Chambers of Tulen wad (Cortyard.TR4) and can be used on either the floor or a ledge.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]Both types of switch can be used with any door regardless of the doors animations except trapdoors and the rolling door from Angkor Wat, as the door rising/falling animation is hard coded.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][B][COLOR=black]Notes

[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]1. Lara will only operate the switch from one end.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]2. The door requires an ocb code of 1.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]3. The door will only raise to a height of one click above its own height regardless of the ceiling height above the door.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]4. The time taken for the door to close is dependent on the height of the door itself, taller doors will close more slowly.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black]This picture shows the Guardian wad switch in use on a ledge and also shows the position of the triggers underneath the switch.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=black] These triggers consist of a switch trigger for the Cog Switch and a standard trigger for the door object.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
