The Dink Network

1.Gimme a script to create a sprite
2.How to add new keys to function for example x button to trigger somthing

1. What?
2. Make a script called "key_xxx.c" (where "xxx" is the number of the button) and write the code you want to be executed when that button is pressed

I can't remember the numbers of each button, but I'm sure there is a list somewhere.

OK, I mean, to create a sprite entirely outta scripts

Like, write a script that draws a sprite? I don't think that's possible in DinkC. Such a commandset would be very useful.

int &omg = create_sprite(x, y, brain, seq, frame);

perhaps?

You didn't know fb5?
Quite important for you fireballs!

3.Now, when I add the DarkDink to GRAPHICS, i put it in a folder called "evil". so the hit is in "evil/hit...."
Now I copied the lines from Dink.ini to load dink s[prite but changed the "dink/hit" to evil/hit and so on. And it crashes!Any solution?

Could be one of a few different comming issues to do with the INI. Perhaps it's a priority issue? A faulty load_graphic line?

When does the game crash?

oh boy... i know how to help you, but im far to lazy to... sorry.

No, its all right( the line). For the hit example:
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\idle\ds-i2- 12 250 33 70 -12 -9 12 9
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\idle\ds-i4- 14 250 30 71 -11 -9 11 9
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\idle\ds-i6- 16 250 36 70 -11 -9 11 9
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\idle\ds-i8- 18 250 32 68 -12 -9 12 9

And at the WinDinkEdit+ sprite mode the DarkDink sprite doesn't show up anyway while when I press the start button of the D-Mod EvilDink2(the one I'm developing, hope its better ) it crashes! Come on Zed, help me

Are you trying to load the original Dink grapics as well? Those are the same slots that it used.

If your idea is to replace Dink for the entire game, just put your evil Dink graphics in exactly the same spots as original Dink in your graphics folder, with the same filenames, then you won't need to worry about anything.

no its another sprite that is congruent to dink

sorry doodler im using a psp.

Then don't load it in the same sequences as Dink. 12/14/16/18.

whaddaya mean?

load_sequence_now graphics\evil\idle\ds-i2- 12 250 33 70 -12 -9 12 9
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\idle\ds-i4- 14 250 30 71 -11 -9 11 9
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\idle\ds-i6- 16 250 36 70 -11 -9 11 9
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\idle\ds-i8- 18 250 32 68 -12 -9 12 9

The bolded numbers are the sequence numbers you are loading the graphics to. You need to load them to different slots such as 852, 854 856, 858. Otherwise, you are overwriting Dink's original sequences.

Assuming you know what .ini editing means, this should be easy to fix.

I got it guys. Thanks a lot!
Another question Sorry
4.How do you create a explosion animation at the place where dink is standing when x buton is pressed. I know you save the script as key-88.c

Do the script in void main and create a sprite, give it touch damage and brain and end with sp_seq or it wont run the animation.

You might also want to use preload_seq() for the explosion, I've had trouble with that before.

5.How do you "spawn" a script at the end of another

spawn("scriptname"); will create a persistent new script.

If you want to replace the script of the sprite you are replacing it from however, you need to do a little trick just to be safe:

int &old = &current_sprite;
sp_script(&old, "newscript");

6. I managed to get an EvilDink as a seperate sprite but his hit sequence makes him turn into the real dink(any weapons)

Weapons sprite script in Dink.ini:
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\sword\hit\d-sa2- 932 75 52 92 -23 -12 24 11
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\sword\hit\d-sa4- 934 75 74 90 -23 -13 23 14
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\sword\hit\d-sa6- 936 75 33 92 -18 -14 18 10
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\sword\hit\d-sa8- 938 75 46 109 -17 -16 17 10

load_sequence_now graphics\evil\hit\normal\ds-h2- 951 75 60 72 -19 -9 19 9
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\hit\normal\ds-h4- 953 75 61 73 -19 -10 19 10
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\hit\normal\ds-h6- 955 75 58 71 -18 -10 18 10
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\hit\normal\ds-h8- 957 75 61 71 -19 -10 19 10

//bow weapon diags

load_sequence_now graphics\evil\bow\hit\d-ba1- 931 75 57 84 -20 -12 20 12
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\bow\hit\d-ba3- 933 75 33 86 -19 -13 19 13

load_sequence_now graphics\evil\bow\hit\d-ba7- 935 75 54 82 -19 -11 19 11
load_sequence_now graphics\evil\bow\hit\d-ba9- 937 75 37 78 -21 -10 21 10
and the script that makes Dink turn into evil dink:
void main( void)
{
freeze(1);
say_stop("Transform!", 1)
sp_base_walk(1, 900);
sp_base_idle(1, 920);
sp_base_attack(1, 950);
push_active(0);
unfreeze(1);
}

Because weapon/fist scripts tell Dink to hit with a base of 100. Base_attack() won't do anything for Dink. You'll have to modify them.
