Cog to cog int transfer?

Possible? Perhaps someone have idea how?

Cog1:
Code: 
SendMessageEX(cog, Message, flex, flex, flex, flex);

Cog2:
Code: 
User0:
     number=GetParam(0);
     Return;
Usually when sending a message, the UserX (up to 9) message is used, though you can send any message to another cog. The GetParam(#) means to get the number in the SendMessage command. 0 is the first flex, 1 is the second, etc. You can send nearly any type of data to another cog this way: flex, int, thing, surface, sector, even cog (I think).

Hope that helps. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Because, really, you have only three real types: float, int, and vector. Most types are just another name for int. And because cog will change a variable's type when it needs to, you can't tell the difference between a float and an int.

Vectors are distinctly different because they're three times the size of floats and ints. You can't use vectors with verbs SendMessageEx() because of their size.

but there is a way around it.
SendMessageEx(cog, message, vector x, vector y, vector z, variable);
Like that, you get a vector. To use.
VectorSet(GetParam(0), GetParam(1), GetParam(2));

Someone can say me whats is wrong?

1st off man, thanks for the code tags. But by god, use arrays for the first cog! The major error I see is that you aren't have 4 parameters in teh SendMessageEx(), you need 4, no matter what, but you can call only 1 or 2. Plus money cog is undefined, so we need to define it then.
To fix the cogs.
Code: 
Activated:
moneycog = GetInvCog(player, bin);
For(i=0; i<20; i=i+1)
{
   If(GetSenderRef() == pickup0)
   {
      SetWallCel(addrem, 0);
      SendMessageEx(moneycog, user3, pickcost0, 0,0,0);
      CreateThing(ghostcrate, picktemp0);
   }
}
Return;

Make sure the money is an Inv cog or you will have to use triggers. Plus, something I've found, GetWallCel() isn't a good verb, you should send the int in the second param of the SendMessageEx. Also, you should change the cogs so the gold is stored in that bin and the second cog only prints out what you have left. But you can do that however you want.

Actually, ints take up the least amount of memory, followed by floats. I don't know exactly what a flex is, so I don't know about that. I had always assume it was a double precision floating point type instead of single precision like float. In that case, flex would take more, then of course a vector.

Say, didn't someone figure out how to make a crude string in COG a while back?

Do a search for inv in DataMaster then.

Emon, a flex is the same thing as a float, and the same size as an int. It's a single.

And yes, Cog can handle strings after a fashion. Use jkStringConcatInt() and the '%c' format specifier. I'm pretty sure that JK uses VC++ functions to format the string - so JK is none the wiser.

I wonder if LEC ever considered that...
