Development Forum Tool mesg?    Malkin    Manager     4/6/2012 Looking at the powerups, I came across a weird message. What does "mesg wrt+ ownr 12345 40 5 0' mean? How would I go about finding out? The tools send a message to the norns, but how can I find out what that message is? scrp 2 24 4 1 targ from doif fmly = 4 and gnus = 1 targ ownr mesg wrt+ ownr 12345 40 5 0 endi targ ownr endm My TCR Norns   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     4/6/2012 According to the CAOS Documentation: MESG WRT+ (command) agent (agent) message_id (integer) param_1 (anything) param_2 (anything) delay (integer) Send a message with parameters to another agent. Waits delay ticks before sending the message. The message_id is from the table of Message Numbers. So it's sending a message to OWNR with an id of 12345 with parameters of 40 and 5, and no delay.   Malkin Manager     4/6/2012 How would I go about finding what the message is? I assume I'm looking for something that's like scrp 4 0 0 12345, yes? My TCR Norns   Peppery One Papriko   4/7/2012 Why 4 0 0 12345? The script from your initial post had the ID 2 24 4 1. OWNR returns the agent that initially executed the script (the owner), so OWNR has the classifier 2 24 4 in this case. The second script you are looking for would be 2 24 4 12345. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis...   Sanely Insane RisenAngel Manager     4/7/2012 The script you're looking for isn't in the same .cos file as the Pick-Ups. It's in the .cos file named "stars and pickup panel." ~ The Realm ~ Risen Angel's Creatures Blog   Malkin Manager     4/7/2012 Thanks for pointing out the cos file, Grendel Man, that would have taken me ages to find on my own!

Which is silly--since, if we're talking about the same object here, Norns have instincts that tell them to seek out pick-ups.
