Really cool cog ...that doesn't work

For some reason, all the resistors randomly jumped into the water in the harbour, and killing one had no effect whatsoever on the others.

I'm thinking it's a problem with my For command? should I call a message (see the annotated 'call evil' that I cut out)??? Help, please!

Just a few problems I see;

Invalid conditionals. Should be "If(Getsomething() == This)" Never forget the second =.


Screwey arrays. Your array is messed up. Variables should be labled "BlahX", NOT "BlahXX". Count from zero...

Command errors. Getsenderref needs parenthesis, "Getsenderref()".

Undefined variables. 'Killer' is undefined.


BTW, PARSEC catches all of these errors... Do yourself a favor and download it...

I used to believe that we only want what we can't have. I was wrong. The truth is, the wonderful truth is, we only want what we think we can't have.

ARGH! Why does eveyone keep saying that? hehe... :P I concede, I'll do it... sometime.

Thanks for the help, GBK, I'll give it a try.
