I have been trying to teach myself COG. Many things, I do not know. I've been trying to write a cog that will generate +spark from ghost locations after a specific thing has been shot or slashed.

symbols

message damaged
message pulserate
message timer

thing damagedthing linkid=-1
thing ghost0 linkid=-1
thing ghost1 linkid=-1
thing ghost2 linkid=-1
thing ghost3 linkid=-1

(...some stuff about my wav0, +sparks, etc...)

end

#---

What shall I do here?

Remember to shove a 'timer' in, if you want the speaks to repeat. I think I have the general jist.

#--

timer:

SetTimer(minimumDelay + Rand() * (maximumDelay - minimumDelay));

Return;

#--

damaged:

CreateThing(sparkTemplate, damagedthing);
CreateThing(sparkTemplate, ghost0);
CreateThing(sparkTemplate, ghost1);
CreateThing(sparkTemplate, ghost2);
CreateThing(sparkTemplate, ghost3);

#--

Something like that? If you want it to be after so much damage, you need to give the thing health ... I suggest looking up xtank3 cog.

Also, I suck at cog, so if it doesn't work I apologise
