ANOTHER small PROBLEM (DMODS)...

Posted by DWD on 11/03/01 - 16:34:40

You lot must be getting sick of this now! Anyway, this is copied from a help file redink posted:

'Now we next to get out our handy-dandy text editor to make this script.

All scripts must reside in the STORY dir.

Go inside and create a file called "TREE.C" and edit it.

Put this in:

void hit(void)

{

say("'4Ouch!", current_sprite);

}

Save it. Now play the game. The tree will say "Ouch!" when you hit it. In

red even! The '4 is a color code)

What about if Dink hits the look/talk button while looking at the

tree? Ok, add this to your tree.c file:'

It's the first bit that's important really.

'handy-dandy text editor' - What?

When I go in the story folder I get a load of files with the Microsoft symbol on with a white background. When you click on it, it says 'open with...'. What do I open it with to be able to edit it with? Is it some kind of Dink text editor or can you use notepad or what?

Thanks :o

You could get pretty far just by reading other people's (including Seth's) scripts, but you really need dinkc.txt to understand what's going on. It's a bit large to post here I think, So I'm going to mail it to you. I hope it helps.

And to answer your question, to have a sprite do something when dink talks to it, rather than hits it, you simply do the same as in the tree example only you replace:

void hit( void )

with:

void talk( void )

OK, thanks for e-mailing the file Paul, it's much appreciated!

Also thanks to Josh. What does everyone use to edit with, notepad or a 'dinkc editor'? Which is easier to use?

Thanks.

I just use notepad, because that's what I got in the habit of using. Likewise I use DinkEdit for the maps. But for a new user, such as yourself, Something like Dinkcedit might be useful. There's also a program called WinDinkEdit which, in general is better than DinkEdit, but I got in the habit of using DinkEdit, so that's what I use.
