Nooooooo! The source of all my evil scripts is down. There is so much I do not know about cogs, but I'll start with a simple question. Is there a way to stop a player from being able to fire his gun without modifing the gun cogs?

Not really, unless you want to set the current weapon to 0 and set the invintory ammounts of all the weapons to 0 and deal with an amputated right hand.

Set the player's health to 0 but then he can't use any gun/force or anything and will be invulnrable. Other than that I think it's impossible without modifying the weapon cogs.

Another way to do this is to have another weapon made that does nothing but set up the POV and Rhand models, select that, and set the other weapon inventory ammounts to 0.

There are few mirrors for the jkspec.
One is at Massassi and another is on my site.

I'm far from confident but these may work
SetInvAvailable(player, weapBin, 0);
and/or
SetBinWait(player, weapBin, timeToWait);
and/or
SetFireWait(player, timeToWait);

That would be perfect, can I just use SetInv for that, or would I have to set certain flags?

SetThingHealth(Player, 0);

I'm sure my mistake is obvious and n00bish, but could someone tell me why this doesn't work? (in the symbols section, I have thing player local and message newplayer)

When GetSenderRef() doesn't work and the cog is clean. Try GetSourceRef(), it might work. Else define using GetLocalPlayerThing().

The Sender and source are the respawning player, so it doesn't matter which one you use. Another cog might be setting the player health after this cog does, so set a timer for 2 seconds and see if it works then. Then just decrease the timer length untill it's 0 right off the bat.
