The Dink Network

: : I know this is really, really basic, but I am having trouble getting a sprite to talk.  I am using WinDinkEdit.  The sprite is a tree.  It has no brain.  I am using CEdit to write scripts.  Here is what I wrote:

: : say("I am glad you are here, Dink", 1);

: : I also tried:

: : void say("I am glad you are here, Dink", 1);

: : Using WDE, I attached this script (called test.c) to the tree.  However, it doesn't make the tree speak.  I know this is basic, but I need some help.  Also, how do I add graphics?  I want to add like a hole in the mountain side for Dink to crawl thru.  The hole is not inthe sprite inventory of WDE.  How do I get WDE to recognize the hole so I can add it?  Thanx!

: why dont you write:

: void talk(void)

: {

: say("I am glad you are here, Dink", 1);

: }

Wow, I guess 2 years out of college and away from C++ has really degraded my knowledge. I wasn't even calling the prodedure ot using the brackets. Wow. It worked, but Dink said it when talking to the tree. I assigned it to the tree. How can I get the tree to say it and not Dink? Dink says it and it stays with him as he walks away from the tree.
