Hey, I'm trying to use the SendMessageEx function in one of my cogs. It's sending ok, but when it gets to the second cog, it's saying the variable (i called it deadnum) is equal to 0. How do i get the second cog to recognize the variable?

deadnum = GetParam(0);

The last four args of the SendMessage command are Params. They are retrieved in the recipient cog by "GetParam(n)", where n is the param number. In your case, it is param0.

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.
