The Dink Network

Hey peoples. I've had this script for over 3 years, and it always worked fine, but now, suddenly, it doesn't work correctly anymore. I didn't change anything in it, so maybe I was just lucky that the script ran in the first place, but it just has a bug. Here is the script:

void main(void)
{
int &guard;

if (&story == 1)
{
if (&player_map == 500)
{
move_stop(1, 2, 270, 1);

&guard = create_sprite(310, 0, 0, 281, 1);
sp_base_walk(&guard, 280);
sp_speed(&guard, 1);
move(&guard, 2, 270, 1);
wait(100);
say("`9You can't escape!", &guard);
move_stop(1, 4, -10, 1);
}
if (&player_map == 499)
{
move_stop(1, 4, 320, 1);

&guard = create_sprite(600, 270, 0, 281, 1);
sp_base_walk(&guard, 280);
sp_speed(&guard, 1);
move(&guard, 4, 200, 1);
wait(100);
say("`9Give it up!", &guard);
move_stop(1, 4, 200, 1);
move_stop(1, 2, 420, 1);
}
if (&player_map == 531)
{
move_stop(1, 2, 170, 1);

&guard = create_sprite(200, 0, 0, 281, 1);
sp_base_walk(&guard, 280);
sp_speed(&guard, 1);
move(&guard, 2, 170, 1);
wait(100);
say("`9There's no way to go!", &guard);
move_stop(1, 6, 620, 1);
}
if (&player_map == 532)
{
freeze(1);
move_stop(1, 6, 320, 1);

&guard = create_sprite(0, 170, 0, 281, 1);
sp_base_walk(&guard, 280);
sp_speed(&guard, 1);

int &guard2 = create_sprite(320, 0, 0, 281, 1);
sp_base_walk(&guard2, 280);
sp_speed(&guard2, 1);

move(&guard, 6, 220, 1);
move_stop(1, 2, 260, 1);
wait(1000);
move_stop(1, 8, 252, 1);
move_stop(&guard2, 2, 200, 1);
move(&guard, 2, 260, 1);

say_stop("`9We've got you now, spy!", &guard2);
say_stop("This looks bad...", 1);
wait(1750);
turn_midi_on();
script_attach(1000);
fade_down();
&player_map = 65;
sp_x(1, 300);
sp_y(1, 210);
load_screen();
draw_screen();
fade_up();
&update_status = 1;
draw_status()
return;
}
}
}

void talk(void)
{
if (&story == 0)
{
if (&player_map != 161)
return;

freeze(1);

say_stop("What's this?", 1);
say_stop("It looks like some important stuff...", 1);

wait(500);

choice_start();
set_y 240
set_title_color 7
title_start();
Some paperwork lies on the table.
title_end();
"Take a look"
"Leave"

choice_end()

if (&result == 2)
{
unfreeze(1);
return;
}

if (&result == 1)
{
&story = 1;
say_stop("Let's see...", 1);
say_stop("`9'It's absolutely necessary to get rid of these...'", 1);

wait(70);

turn_midi_off();
playmidi("4.mid");

&guard = create_sprite(490, 10, 0, 281, 1);
sp_base_walk(&guard, 280);
sp_speed(&guard, 1);
wait(500);
move_stop(&guard, 2, 200, 1);
wait(100);
say_stop("`9Hey, you there, freeze!", &guard);
say_stop("`9 That's classified information!", &guard);

say_stop("dang!", 1);

fade_down();
script_attach(1000);
&player_map = 468;
load_screen();
draw_screen();
freeze(1);
sp_x(1, 310);
sp_y(1, 120);
sp_dir(1, 2);
fade_up();

move_stop(1, 2, 200, 1);

&guard = create_sprite(310, 120, 0, 281, 1);
sp_base_walk(&guard, 280);
sp_speed(&guard, 1);
move(&guard, 2, 410, 1);
wait(100);
say("`9Get over here!", &guard);
move_stop(1, 2, 410, 1);
script_attach(0);



}
}
}

Now, this is what happens: the talk procedure works. Then, A chase follows, which starts in screen 500. Everything goes fine. Then, Dink and the guard walks in screen 499. That part is in italics, and there where it all goes wrong: Dink won't walk the first coordinates (move_stop(1, 4, 320, 1)) and the guard isn't created! I also have no idea why it won't create the guard, because in all other instances, it worked fine. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Much thanks in advance and beyond!

Try putting a say command in that section? If that doesn't work, then your if statement is probably screwed up. Are you on the right screen? Also, is it attatched to the screen? Maybe you forgot to attatch the script to that screen?

Edit: Since there is a talk procedure I guess it's not attatched to the screen

I deleted the part that Dink goes to screen 499 and 531, so Dink walked to screen 532. It also doesn't work, so it isn't the screen that has an error. I really don't know why it doesn't work in all of a sudden. Could it be something 1.08 related or is there an error in the script? Help very needed!!

EDIT: The problem is NOT 1.08 related.

*deep sigh*. I figured it out. I indeed accidentally deleted the attached script in those particular screens. Carry on, carry on, nothing to see here.
