For the cog parameter, how do you input this?
For an example, in one of Ace's cogs, he uses a number for a cog. Where'd he get it?
I admittedly don't know cog that well, lol.

There are several verbs that deliver a reference to a cog. Check the datamaster for a complete list. Some examples:
GetThingClassCog();
GetSelfCog();
GetMasterCog();

"Häb Pfrässe, süsch chlepfts!" - The coolest language in the world (besides Cherokee)

GetInvCog()
GetThingCaptureCog()

should be the (only) other 2 options for ways to retrieve a cog's number.

I use GetInvCog() most often.

Some of the ones zagibu mentioned are MotS-specific and get ParSec angry. Cogs are identified by their number if they are embedded in the level. For instance, if I have the 7th cog in my F7 list sending a message to the 3rd, I'll assign the cog value as 3.

I thought a cogs number was the inventory bin number assigned to the cog in items.dat.

I actually think its from static.jkl file, but yeah you're right. For GetInvCog(player, bin); gets cogs listed from items.dat, such as weap_strifle.cog

Not true. Not mad or anything, it's just of the 5 verbs zagibu and I listed, all 5 are JK verbs.


Also incorrect, gotta use GetInvCog() to reliably get cog numbers for inventory bins. If you use a raw number, you're gambling that it'll match up (either in static.jkl or the current level jkl, not sure which). Notice I did say reliably... silly to gamble when there's a 100%.

Just clearing up some misinformation.
