The Dink Network

rabidwolf9 has summoned a new Summon Spell. It summons (*gasp*) a stone giant to fight alongside Dink. It's included in an example D-Mod, so check it out!

In my spare time, I think I have located a minor bug that would involve targeting when the summon is attacked.I'm working on it right now and should be finished really soon. The problems? Bleh..simple ones that were somehow overlooked...When there are no enemies on the screen, the summon follows Dink, but when hit, the summon is still following, so it won't attack Dink the right way. That isn't so big, but there is another. When attacked by an enemy, our summon switches it's target to that enemy, but no experience gained from killing it... Easy to fix bugs that will be done right away. If there are any more, please inform me of them.

Update: I fixed it. It's at my house though, so I'll send it in later. In other news...school sucks.

I found another bug with it. It seems when the summon's target is killed by something other than the summon, it doesn't get a new target..grr..anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

make a loop in which the summon looks for a target every second or so.

Okay, I have a way to do it now I think. My head is all foggy-like, so I'll deal with it later.

I scream vile cursewords at Dink today. As usual, something is screwed up prohibiting me from completing my summon spell fix. It also seems that the summoned beast keeps the sprite number as it's target even when the target is dead. I have the lines I need to do the targeting part, but I can't make the circumstances work!?

//excerpt from "summon.c" inside the loop:

//&targ is innited earlier in the script
&targ = sp_target(&summon, -1);
//testing to see what sprite our summon has targeted
say("`7 &targ", 1);

//in case our summon's target was killed by someone else
//this doesn't seem to work, I need another way
if (sp_hitpoints(&targ, -1) < 1)
{
say("hey", &summon);
run_script_by_number(&summon, "main");
}
