: Hi folks,



: I'm slowly teaching myself dink c and have quite a few scripts done for the dmod I'm making to teach myself but one simple blocker script is causing me trouble. I read the author files (have made a small book with all of the author tutorials everybody has provided - my thanks to everyone that has published) I even cut and pasted from one tutorial straight into the script but it still doesn't work. Dink hits the block (a table in this case that has had the hardblock area enlarged and then I nibbled away the graphic until it was gone. I did not make the sprite type 2.) he says the line, does not move away from the block but seems to get stuck at it. Then the keyboard controls fail and I can't get him out. It's unrecoverable at that point. The script should be easy, I'm just doing something wrong. It is ;



: //blocked bridge - SK

: void main(void)

: {

: sp_touch_damage(&current_sprite, -1);

: }

: void touch(void)

: {

: freeze(1);

: move_stop(1, 6, 190, 1);

: sp_dir(1, 4);

: say_stop(""I'm not strong enough yet", 1);

: unfreeze(1); }



Try moving that } down onto it's own line.



: Thanks in advance for your help guys.

What redink said is true too, though. If dink is already to the right of "160" (about 1/4 across the screen) then he won't go anywher.

Where is the blocker in relation to the screen and Dink?  See the pic link below for about where the bridge should be (it could vary on the y axis)
