The Dink Network

DinkC is generally pretty picky about the use of ONE space around each side of any of it's operators. I don't know whether or not this is the root of your problems, but I can tell you that this:

if(&help_var ==3)

should be

if (&help_var == 3)

and this

if(&help_var ==2)

should be

if (&help_var == 2)

.

You don't actually need the space after if, but you DO need exactly one space on each side of the == sign. Don't believe me? COPY EXACTLY this short piece of code as key-68.c and get Dink to a blank "New Screen". Then press the letter D (for Dink of course!) on your keyboard.

void main( void )
{
	script_attach(1000);
	freeze(1);
	if(1 == 0)
		say_stop("if(1 == 0) with spaces around numbers FAILS",1);
	else
		say_stop("if(1 == 0) with spaces around numbers works correctly",1);
	if (1 == 0)
		say_stop("if (1 == 0) with spaces around numbers and after if FAILS",1);
	else
		say_stop("if (1 == 0) with spaces around numbers and after if works correctly",1);
	if(1==0)
		say_stop("if(1==0) with no spaces around numbers FAILS",1);
	unfreeze(1);
	kill_this_task();
}
