The Dink Network

i need help with this dang script, its for a very inportant blocker, but it freezes when &wife says "`1 Dink". i couldn't find anything wrong with it, but mabe i missed something...

void main ( void )
{
preload_seq(251);
preload_seq(253);
preload_seq(257);
preload_seq(259);
int &wife = create_sprite(435, 200, 16, 251, 4);
sp_script(&wife, "wife");
sp_base_walk(&wife, 250);
sp_timing(&wife, 33);
sp_speed(&wife, 1);

sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, -1);

}

void touch ( void )
{

freeze(1);
freeze(&wife);
say_stop_npc("`1 Dink", &wife);
wait(200);
sp_dir(1,8);
wait(400);
say_stop_npc("Yes Alyssa?", 1);
wait(400);
say_stop_npc("`1 Will you go to the store and buy some milk?", &wife);
wait(400);
say_stop_npc("`1 We just ran out", &wife);
wait(400);
say_stop_npc("Anything for you my lovely wife", 1);
wait(200);
sp_dir(1, 2);

sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, 0);

kill_this_task();

}

all help will be greatly appriciated

Use say_stop instead of say_stop_npc. You'll rarely need say_stop_npc, that's when you want to have a NPC talking in the background where Dink doesn't interfere with the conversation: ie, they talk in the background and Dink does other things, pressing spacebar won't change the NPC's conversation.

Edit: more importantly, change the sp_touch_damage of the blocker to sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, 0); before the whole code and back to -1 after the whole code. Because you freeze Dink when touching the sprite, it'll constantly trigger this script so it'll crash Dink. Also, the kill_this_task(); code doesn't seem necessary to me in a blocker script because you'd want the blocker to function every time Dink touches it.

Well, say_stop_npc can be annoying unless it's a cutscene you don't want the player to be able to skip. You should propably give the girl a different colour voice too, `1 is the same as Dink's and you don't need the colour code since it's the default colour.

Actuall, `1 is light magenta and `!, `@ and `$ give the same as Dink

really?? I guess I never looked close enough...

i did lyke you said...
i even fixed this line
sp_dir(1,8);
but it still freezes at the same point

void main ( void )
{
preload_seq(251);
preload_seq(253);
preload_seq(257);
preload_seq(259);
int &wife = create_sprite(435, 200, 16, 251, 4);
sp_script(&wife, "wife");
sp_base_walk(&wife, 250);
sp_timing(&wife, 33);
sp_speed(&wife, 1);

sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, -1);

}
void touch ( void )
{
sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, 0);
freeze(1);
freeze(&wife);
say_stop_npc("`1 Dink", &wife);
wait(200);
sp_dir(1,8);
wait(400);
say_stop_npc("Yes Alyssa?", 1);
wait(400);
say_stop_npc("`1 Will you go to the store and buy some milk?", &wife);
wait(400);
say_stop_npc("`1 We just ran out", &wife);
wait(400);
say_stop_npc("Anything for you my lovely wife", 1);
wait(200);
sp_dir(1, 2);

}

Like this, there's no way this script should crash Dink. Perhaps the wife script?

by the way, you don't unfreeze either of them at the end of the script.

EDIT: if you want to give the touch damage back at the end, you propably want to move Dink away from the blocker too or the script will loop forever.

void main(void)
{
preload_seq(251);
preload_seq(253);
preload_seq(257);
preload_seq(259);
int &wife = create_sprite(435, 200, 16, 251, 4);
sp_script(&wife, "wife");
sp_base_walk(&wife, 250);
sp_timing(&wife, 33);
sp_speed(&wife, 1);
sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, -1);
}

void touch(void)
{
sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, 0);
freeze(1);
freeze(&wife);
say_stop("`1Dink", &wife);
wait(200);
sp_dir(1,8);
wait(400);
say_stop("Yes Alyssa?", 1);
wait(400);
say_stop("`1Will you go to the store and buy some milk?", &wife);
wait(400);
say_stop("`1We just ran out", &wife);
wait(400);
say_stop("Anything for you my lovely wife", 1);
wait(200);
move command here - away from the blocker
sp_dir(1, 2);
unfreeze(1)
unfreeze(&wife)
sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, -1);
}

ok its fixed now
i think it was b/c this needed to be the first line of void touch ( void )

sp_touch_damage(¤t_sprite, 0);

thank you everybody

here's the finished script(may put back in say_stop_npc)

void main ( void )
{
preload_seq(251);
preload_seq(253);
preload_seq(257);
preload_seq(259);
int &wife = create_sprite(435, 200, 16, 251, 4);
sp_script(&wife, "wife");
sp_base_walk(&wife, 250);
sp_timing(&wife, 33);
sp_speed(&wife, 1);

sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, -1);

}

void touch ( void )
{
sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, 0);

freeze(1);
freeze(&wife);
say_stop("`1 Dink", &wife);
wait(200);
sp_dir(1, 8);
wait(400);
say_stop(" Yes Alyssa?", 1);
wait(400);
say_stop("`1 Will you go to the store and buy some milk?", &wife);
wait(400);
say_stop("`1 We just ran out", &wife);
wait(400);
say_stop(" Anything for you my lovely wife", 1);
wait(400);
sp_dir(1, 2);
unfreeze(1);
unfreeze(&wife);

kill_this_task();
}
