The Dink Network

by utilising the power of dinkc

i guess it is possible, but not exactly with the screenlock bars themselves. it requires another animation that exists on every single screen (don't go into the editor to do this, i will tell you how later)

to get started, make an animation the same dimensions as the screenlock status bars. then, you have to put them in the graphics folder and/or any subdirectory (it doesn't have to be in the graphics folder, although most graphics are) and then you have to edit the dink.ini file.

place the lines in dink.ini so that the animation works, for more information on this consult the dink help file. now that you have the graphics set up, it is now time to put them into your dmod

now you need a script to place them on every screen with a screenlock. when the screenlock dissapears, then we need to destroy or kill the graphics. to do this, we will start off with a simple script to make the screen lock:

void main (void)
{
if (&story == 2)
{
screenlock(1);
spawn(name of animation controller script-it doesn't exist yet, so just make up a name);
}

now we need the controller script.

void main (void)
{

loop:
int &bar_anim
//no i havn't tested this, but i'm assuming it works
&screenlock = screenlock();
if (&screenlock == 0)
{
editor_sprite(blahblahblah i can't remember what to do here, just make the dang thing DIE!);
kill_this_task();
}
else
{
&bar_anim = create_sprite(now for the attributes of the animation, such as x and y cordinates, and the brain etc.)
sp_noclip(1);
}
wait(200);
goto loop;
}

of course this script was not tested and there is still a lot of work for you to do, but i hope this helped you
