The Dink Network

Is it possible to make a script for the bow just like the one of the axe so Dink shoots immediatly instead of having to hold Ctrl so long?

edit: could someone also tell me how it works or just make such a script for me?

Actually I'd like to know how to do that as well.

this should work :

//item fastfire bow

void use( void )
{
&mypower = 100;
&mydir = sp_dir(1, -1);

playsound(44, 22050,0,0,0);

&basehit = sp_dir(1, -1);
&basehit += 100;

sp_seq(1, &basehit);
sp_frame(1, 1); //reset seq to 1st frame
sp_kill_wait(1); //make sure dink will punch right away
sp_nocontrol(1, 1); //dink can't move until anim is done!
&mholdx = sp_x(1, -1);
&mholdy = sp_y(1, -1);
freeze(1);

wait(250);

if (&mydir == 6)
{
&mholdx += 30;
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 6);
sp_dir(&junk, 6);
}

if (&mydir == 4)
{
&mholdx -= 30;
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 4);
sp_dir(&junk, 4);
}

if (&mydir == 2)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 2);
sp_dir(&junk, 2);
}

if (&mydir == 8)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 8);
sp_dir(&junk, 8);
}

if (&mydir == 9)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 5);
sp_dir(&junk, 9);
}
if (&mydir == 1)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 1);
sp_dir(&junk, 1);
}
if (&mydir == 7)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 7);
sp_dir(&junk, 7);
}

if (&mydir == 3)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 3);
sp_dir(&junk, 3);
}

}

&mypower / 100;
&temp = &strength;
&temp / 5;

if (&temp == 0)
{
&temp = 1;
}
&mypower * &temp;
sp_timing(&junk, 0);

if (&bowlore == 1)
{
&temp = random(3, 1);

if (&temp == 1)
{
//critical hit
&mypower * 3;
playsound(44, 14050,0,0,0);

say("`4* POWER SHOT *", 1);
}
}

//create fake shadow effect

sp_speed(&junk, 6);

sp_strength(&junk, &mypower);
sp_range(&junk, 10);
//this makes it easier to hit stuff
sp_flying(&junk, 1);
sp_script(&junk, "dam-a1");
//when the fireball hits something, it will look to this script, this way
//we can burn trees when appropriate
&mshadow = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 15, 432, 3);
sp_brain_parm(&mshadow, &junk);
sp_que(&mshadow, -500);
sp_brain_parm(&junk, 1);
sp_brain_parm2(&junk, &mshadow);
sp_nohit(&mshadow, 1);

hope it works the way you want it too. i had fun making it, errr combining two scripts the wait may be a little too long (after the arrow is released), but that's easy to fix. i did that b/c at first he started walking before the arrow appeared. other than that, it works fine. and DD, you should put this in your next version of inventory

Wauw it works great! But you'd better not press Ctrl too fast over and over again because then Dink wont fire an arrow some times. You just need to wait half a second or something between firering. And the fun part is this only makes it more realistic because you would make mistakes too when you fire realy fast. And another funny thing is when you're in front of an ennemy you'll acutaly hit him because then you'll do the same dammage as your fists.

This bow works great for me you'll only need to get used to it. Thank you verry much rabidwolf9!

you could fix the damaging enemies thing by doing this in the arm part...

init("set_frame_special 102 3 0");
init("set_frame_special 104 3 0");
init("set_frame_special 106 3 0");
init("set_frame_special 108 3 0");

...but you'd have to set the last number back to 1 with any weapon you wanted to hit with. unless you could set it back in the disarm part that is; i don't think that works though(but i may be wrong)...

I just said that if you would shoot fast it could go wrong. But this also hapens when you shoot slowly. Silly me I didn't test it enough just yet. So Dink can just sometimes make a mistake when firering a bow interesting. It also makes a sound like a barrel is breaking when Dink makes a mistake. Lol. I don't know what causes this mistake but it doesn't realy bother me.

I intend to, along with the old one (in case someone wants it). In fact I'm putting it in my personal version now (I make minor updates to things sometimes, ones that aren't enough to bother with a release (like the spelling mistakes you noticed in Bestiary, which I've corrected in my version (1.01))) and put in the Credits file that you made it.

Oh, and thanks btw.

fixed some things in this one...dink doesn't attack when shooting, fixed damage so it's higher, added to strength (+3), i think this should also fix dink's misfire(i think it was from dink actually hitting the arrow?) but it might not...so, here is the newewer one:

Ok, I'll change the script I made to use this version.

It works great now. Could you also tell me how to change the power of the bow so I can make my own ones?

change the numbers where it adds/subtracts to strength when armed/disarmed. you could also change &mypower.
