The Dink Network

Dink runs all the text at once, since you don't have return; after you add 1 to the story...

You should do like this:

if(&stick==1)
{
&stick += 1;
say_stop("This stick will work, two more",1);
return;
}

if(&stick==2)
{
&stick += 1;
say_stop("Ok, one more should do it!",1);
return;
}

if(&stick==3)
{
&stick += 1;
say_stop("Now I'll try to start a fire in my house.",1);
return;
}
