The Dink Network

It's one of the reasons I wrote the DinkC_Talk Python script.

You could fake it with:

void main( void )
{
  int &col = 5;
  // Set a property which we can use in other scripts.
  sp_custom("text_colour",&current_sprite,&col);
}

void talk( void )
{
  say("`&col Hello!");
}

Alas, this only works for colour values 0 to 9, because it only reads a single character after ` (but only *after* expanding variables).

And it's actually more of a hassle, but at least it avoids any "oops wrong text colour"-mistakes.

Long story short, that would make sense.
