I want to speed up a projectile => The speed is defined in a template => Templates are defined on JKL files (levels).

How can I define a template and be sure that my modification will work on all levels in general? Is it possible to define or redefine a template in a cog?

You can either

1. Use ParseArg for small amount of template modificating.

2. Use static.jkl for much more to edit and more stable, but needs some trigger coding for those to work properly in multiplayer.

For 1:
ParseArg(thing, "foo=bar");
for example

proj = FireProjectile(blah, blah...);
ParseArg(proj, "vel=0/50/0");

(If you only want to boost the speed of a projectile you can just use ApplyForce(proj, someVector); )

For 2:
Get static.jkl out of res2.gob, copy and paste the world template header from another level jkl in a level.gob.

When done, get JED if you don't have yet and open up the master.tpl. You can copy and paste the original templates in the static.jkl that you want to edit and modify that as you like. For notes look in jkspec in the jkl template section, you need to paste all the parent templates as well.

And when you're done with creating new templates in static.jkl, read here to go on with the multiplayer workaround.
