\\PLEASE help

Um... I'd be more than glad to help... if I knew what is going wrong in the script

Edit: Hrm... maybe the colors don't change after you fade down? Unfortunatly, the way fade_down works is it basically makes every color black (except white), so your fill_screen() commands don't really do anything. You could try just using fill_screen() commands without the fade_down() and fade_up(), but then all of the sprites on the screen would still be visable.

Also, to reverse the effects of fill_screen(), try doing this instead of your fade_up():

draw_screen();
draw_status();

Thanks, I guess I needed to be more specific... But the actual problem is that when I assign the script to a sprite, and Dink talks to it, Nothing happens, and thanks for the info on the fill_screen() command.

Hmm... make sure the sprite is Type 1 in DinkEdit, or a Person/Creature type in WinDinkEdit.

Nope I'm sure I did that but thanks.

Maybe I have the same problem as Binrit?

When you assign a script to a sprite, and then change his brain ( in the editor ) then you need to assign it again, check it...

Oh! You have this:

choice_start();
"Say.. Aren't those chicken heads?"
“WHAT THE HECK HAVE YOU DONE!?”
“Your satanistic behavior has left a hole in my heart (sniffle)”
"Leave and only wonder..."
choice_end();

Try doing this:

choice_start()
"Say.. Aren't those chicken heads?"
"WHAT THE HECK HAVE YOU DONE!?"
"Your satanistic behavior has left a hole in my heart (sniffle)"
"Leave and only wonder..."
choice_end()

Sometimes Dink doesn't want choice)start() to have a ; on the end of it. Also, had 'special' quotes around a couple of your title choices, and Dink is probably expecting normal quotes, and might have gotten confused.

Thank you! I dunno what I'd do if you didn't help me!

Oh and get ready for an upcoming epic

(Drumrole please)


THE

I noticed you sometimes put a space after &current_sprite and 1, but mostly you don't. Dunno if that has got something to do with the problem, but I've learned it's a good thing to always do things the same way.

say_stop("`6I've just started an honest buisness",&current_sprite);
wait(200);
say_stop("SO you do this for a living!!",1);
wait(200);
say_stop("I'm gonna cal 911 on my cell!!",1);
wait(200);
say_stop("`6call who? on what?", &current_sprite);

No. I had problems with storyprogress, but the scripts without any &story = blah; worked fine.

well, I meant when you said that Dink wasn't accepting the scripts

You know, inspite of the fact that I recomended it, I still don't understand how the map can corrupt the &story variable, it isn't even used by the engine (like &magic or &gold are.

Neither do I. But it worked, so there must be something?
