Does it really work with spells? I seem to recall reading somewhere that it didn't. Oh well.
Yeah, it does. It will continually call use() for spell as long as shift is held down, &magic_level >= &magic_cost and Dink is not frozen. You can see this even in the original game with fireball if Dink has alot of &magic.
But an interesting aspect of how it works is that if use() contains a wait command, and all of the above is still true when it executes, the script will interrupt itself and nothing below the wait will run. And so, with a little creativity, you can actually test when shift is released.
