Why won't this work? I have concluded that this cog is the problem. So why?
Code: 
symbols
thing       victim                      local

message     touched

end

# ========================================================================================

code

Touched:
   victim = GetSourceRef();
   SendTrigger(GetThingClassCog(victim), 150, victim, 0, 0, 0);
   Return;

end
I know it's gotta be simple, parsec is clean on this on. *sigh*

[edit]Its a projectile class cog.[/edit]

Just send like this:

SendTrigger(victim, 150, victim, 0, 0, 0);

It has to be sent to a cog, right?

Nope... You can send it using -1 (global) or using the victoms id like that.

And I dont get why you'd want to send the victim number to the victim. You could just define the player in the other cog.

If you want to get who sent the trigger just use triggersender = GetSenderRef();

No, I ment it like you can't send it to the thing, but to it's cog. I know how a trigger works is what I'm trying to say. I guess I should post the actor's class cog trigger section.
Code: 
Trigger:
   source = GetParam(0);
   If((GetSenderID() == 150) && (GetCollideType(source) == 1))
   {
      AISetClass(source, -1);
      SetThingHealth(source, 1);
      PlayMode(source, 6);
      SetCollideType(source, 3);
   }
   Return;
It acually stuns the victim, i.e. it knocks out the victim. I acually got another, more practical idea.

edit - didn't work, even though its practical to put it in the stunbolt cog, it doesn't work for all of the special cases I will have. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

Call it a safeguard, because it is a class cog.

GBK, any ideas? I stumped on this one. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

Also got another question. I have two cogs, 2 friendly actor/class cogs. Without checking model matches, is there a way to do this within the cog(s). Quick and simple would be nice, if the model check is the quickest way then fine. One of them is on IhateC3PO's thread here, 'Friendly AI'.

From the Datamaster..

Quote:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
SendTrigger(dest, ID, param0, param1, param2, param3);

dest: The destination controls which computers in the game the trigger will be sent to. Read the table below for the destination values.

ID: The ID of a trigger becomes the sourceref of the trigger message.

paramX: These four parameters will become the four parameters of the trigger message.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trigger Destinations
Destination Player that receives the message:
0, 1, 2, etc. If this is MP and there's a player with this thing number, the message is sent to him. Otherwise, no one receives it.
-1, -2, -3, etc Everyone.

I used to believe that we only want what we can't have. I was wrong. The truth is, the wonderful truth is, we only want what we think we can't have.

Thank you GBK, I knew it was a simple answer! Does anybody have an answer to my second question?
