The Dink Network

True, it makes the script wait, but it doesn't stop the Dink engine from killing the sprite and thus the script. With 'killing', I mean "real" killing, as in removing from the game world. That's why you should use spawn(), script_attach() or something similar, when you want a cut-scene after an enemy's death.

Try

void die (void)
{
wait(&long_enough);
say("Blaaat",&current_sprite);
}

For large values of &long_enough (10000 should do the trick), you will not see the text.
