is it possible to pick up a sprite (or edit hardness) without deleting every sprite after youve trimed it to infinity? cheers.

Ah, are you talking about getting to a sprite underneath a sprite? You'd be well off to use regular Dink edit. Hit the [ or ] and that will creat a little box around the potentially selected sprite, hit enter to select that sprite. This way you don't have to move sprites around to get at the one you want.

I'm pretty sure WinDinkEdit does not have this feature yet, but it's been a long time since I've used either.

sorry if i wasnt very clear, what i meant was when you hold down x and keep pressing left, to trim it away and make it invisible, is it possible to pick the sprite up afterwards? thanks.

From what I remember, that should be possible. If not directly by clicking, you can try to use [ and ].

Yup, he's right, the same method I mentioned works for that, too.

You don't have to trim a sprite to make it invisible. Just set its type to 2 (in DE press 2)

I have experienced that scripts don't work when setting the type to 2, so if it's meant to be an invisible barrier that makes dink say "I can't pass" when you touch it (or something like that) you must make it invisible in the script, or trim it.

Don't trim it or set it to type 2 - make it's size 1 (in DE press key 1). The hard block will stay the same and nobody will notice 1 pixel
