I coulda sworn that there was a post about this, but I can't find it anywhere.

Is it true that if you add an extra variable to a cog verb, then it will return that variable?

ex. printint(GetLocalPlayerThing(42)); prints 42 on the screen.

The reason I'm asking is because it isn't working for me, but I could have sworn I read it somewhere. I hope I'm just doing it wrong, since this will help some verb debugging of mine.


Also, if you have any input on the mots verb "insideleia(...);" I would love to know what it does.

Maybe it doesn't work for verbs that accept no parameters at all.

it only works for functions that don't return a value, like print, heapnew, and others. GetLocalPlayerThing won't work because it returns a value.

... so basically, all the "set" methods will return the value whereas the "get" methods won't. Well it makes sense with the latter, but the former is... "interesting". You would have thought that cog would have some sort of parameter parser, in-so-far-as each cog verb expecting a finite set of parameters... :rolleyes:. Well at least I would

I could tell you what insideleia(); does, but I don't think it would be appropriate for these forums.

Classic :D. Very old-school humour, I'll grant you... but fantastic all the same

I would assume that InsideLeia(); checks if the cog is being run from LEC's Level Editor, probably for debugging purposes somehow. :p
