Well for one , I don't think the Getsenderid , should be there for any reason , because it's saying if the person is entering == player , then do the stuff else don't do it , then you go onto say if linkid = bot3 ... do stuff , so i suggest you just make a link cog from the bot ...

and lastly , it's Teleportthing(player, bot3);

It looks to me like he is using the GetSenderId to find out which sector the player entered, then change the player to the appropriate bot for the sector. So it makes sense to me.

I'm wondering though, does the cog keep straight these variable names if you have a thing, a model, and a sector reference all called bot1?? Wouldn't it be better to use different names for the thing, model, and sector -- not use bot1 for all three but something like: bot1, model1, sector1 etc. ?

Okay so this should work aside from the teleportring. and i think it makes perfect sense but i am the one who wrote it so i should think it works. I think it should keep them straight because they are all different things like model, thing, sector, so it should have them all register different according to the verb. I will change it to be on the safe side though. Thanks
