Ok i had two cogging questions...
1: is it possible to randomly select an MP players and make him an assassination target? if so what would the coding be like to isolate him/her from the rest of the MP players?
2: ive been working on a bank cog for MOTS MP and from what i can tell through my cogging abilities <which are pretty low >it should work perfectly but it doesn't anyways heres the code:

This cog is in the debug mode (for me debug is using a print statement after every line of code) it wont even get to the first print statement so i have no idea whats wrong with this

Join JK2k on the zone! go to http://www.jk2k.8k.com

I am not even going to look at that code.

Well for one you left out the messages bit in the symbols section..

Hey man! What is up with that code! I don't even understand what you put in the Print sections!
Try downloading some cogs from the cog secion of massassi. Look at them closely and use what others do in your own cogs.

also F.Y.I. bin 40 is bactatanks set to 1000 max

that line about flex debugpause is gone...and i cant see where i would have a second message...ACTIVATED should be the only one

aaargh! can someone understand that?

CashInBank=CashInBank+CashPlayerHas
^-this needs a ; at the end.

so does:
CashPlayerHas=0

and these:
CashToTakeOut=1000-CashPlayerHas
CashPlayerHas=CashPlayerHas+CashToTakeOut
CashInBank=CashInBank-CashToTakeOut


All need semicolons at the end of the line.


Other than that, just to streamline the cog a bit, change these lines:

PlaySoundPos(..., SurfaceCenter(GetSenderRef()), ...);

change the GetSenderRef() to whatever surface it is, since you have no reason to use the GetSenderRef() more than once per message.

Hopefully, it'll work now I don't see anything else wrong with the code offhand.
