The Dink Network

I know DinkC fairly well and I've been developing here for years.

Although I'm no longer creating content for Dink Smallwood, you can check me out on twitch, twitter, youtube, and steam to see what I'm up to these days.

Couldn't you set the sequence/frame where you set the x/y? I think messing with the editor type would mess things up. If you really need to save the direction they died in then you can make the editor_frame() act as a supervar.

//example
int &crap = sp_x(&current_sprite, -1);
&crap *= 1000;
int &crap2 = sp_y(&current_sprite, -1);
&crap += &crap2;
editor_frame(&current_sprite, &crap);

//main procedure
//extracting the x,y
int &crap = editor_frame(&current_sprite, -1);
int &crap2 = &crap;
&crap /= 1000;
sp_x(&current_sprite, &crap);
&crap *= 1000;
&crap2 -= &crap;
sp_y(&current_sprite, &crap2);

//end of scripting

This way you can use editor_seq() for the sequence of the death.
