Is there a way to do functions in cogs like in c++?

Yes, you can create and call your own messages.

how? and thanks

in the symbols, add this:

message boogie

then in the code, say in startup, add this:

call boogie;

then, define it in the code like any other message:

boogie:
DoStuff();
return;

thanks =)

Forget putting the message boogie in ...

There are a lot of things you can "forget" doing, but everything is much cleaner if you "remember" them.

yes, I know you don't need to put user-defined messages in the symbols, but good habits make for efficient, understandable code.

SendMessage and SendTrigger both work if you're trying to call something from another cog, but SendMessage tends to lag alot more than SendTrigger.

yeah if u look at some of the door cogs u can see that they have there own message call_doors i think

Haven't posted for a while...

But, you can't have messages sent to custom messages using SendMessage and SendMessageEx, so using "user0" to "user7" can avoid them, and they need to be declared in the symbols section as they are hard-coded messages.

>but SendMessage tends to lag alot more than SendTrigger.

Can you see THAT much of a difference?
I can never FEEL the lag of milliseconds.

But to think logically, both sends 4 parameters to the designated message... SendTrigger enabling to send to multiple clients. Not sure if that makes lag differences.

And if SendMessageEx lags more than SendTrigger, LEC coggers never should've wanted to use SendMessageEx in their cogs, they could've replaced with SendTrigger.
