Gets one parameter of a cog message. Each cog message has 4 parameters, but generally only some of them contain useful values.

Use: GetParam(paramNumber);
Where paramNumber can be 0, 1, 2 or 3.

Examples of verbs setting parameters are SendMessageEx, SetTimerEx, SetParam, ...
Note that the engine itself sometimes set parameters when calling a message handler.
For instance in the damaged: message param 0 is the amount of damage, and param 1 is the type of damage

I'm not sure what all the parameters for all the messages are.


Also, what do you mean by Captured/Released messages? If you mean CaptureThing() and ReleaseThing(), I can explain that:

CaptureThing is used to capture a things messages (e.g. if you use CaptureThing(player); then any messages sent that would normally go to kyle.cog would be sent to the cog first.)

ReleaseThing is used to stop capturing messages.
