picnum is the (.art) tile number of the sprite. Since [[actor]] types are defined by tile number, the picnum of a sprite determines the code that will be executed on it. For example, any sprite that is given a picnum of 2000 is thereby a PIGCOP (because the string 'PIGCOP' is defined as 2000) and will then execute the associated code.

In the code of a specific [[actor]] type, the picnum of the sprite executing the code is already known. But in certain events, such as [[EVENT_GAME]], different actor types will execute the same [[onevent]] code, so getting the value of picnum can be very useful.
