Whoa! That's too much!

A few questions though:



 1. should be preload_seq(830); instead of preload(830); but that shouldn't be the problem

 2. What is sp_picfreeze(1,1)? Never heard of. It looks like it could be the problem.



Did Dink go through all the scripts (all details)? What you might try is to stop the warping at any point, and then see if Dink can still punch at that point. That way you should at least be able to narrow down where the problem is.

Just make sure.  Hit enter, and equip the fist.  If it isn't there, you know you have a problem.

That's an awful lot of script to read though, but is it posible you used up all the resources of some kind (vars, scripts), a memory leak of some kind perhaps? Dink will be pretty much helpless if something like that happens.

There different scripts..and yes Redink1 I tried that. You can arm the weapon but when you attack you only hear the sound and no movement. The fist works perfectley before that tough. And because a lot this isn't my own scripting I cant figure it out.
