ATTN: REDINK1

Posted by john on 01/29/02 - 13:10:38

earlier you helped me. I tried it out but it's not working. I put the script here. PLZ tell me what I'm doing wrong.

void main(void)

{

&temp = &current_sprite;

freeze(1);

say_stop("'3testing123", &current_sprite);

wait(1000);

say_stop("'5testing second sprite", &temp);

unfreeze(1);

}

It seems that the problem is simple, but it isn't. There are a few things that you did it wrong.

If I remembered correctly, you would like to have two people talking in the background while Dink is doing other things, right?

You need at least 2 scripts (and I prefer to using 3 scripts.) for this to work. But let's make it simpler by using two scripts and one global &temp.

script for first people

void main(void)

{

.... (setup the necessary features of the first person)

&temp = &current_sprite;

}

script for second people & the conversation

void main(void)

{

.... (setup the necessary features of the first person)

// This is ensentially important for this script to work!

wait(1000);

say_stop_npc("'3The first one is talking.", &current_sprite);

wait(1000);

say_stop_npc("'5The second one is talking now.", &temp);

wait(1000);

say_stop_npc("'3The first one is talking again.", &current_sprite);

wait(1000);

freeze(1);

say_stop("Now Dink is talking.", 1);

wait(1000);

say_stop("'5The second one is talking to Dink now.", &temp);

wait(1000);

say_stop("Dink is talking again.", 1);

unfeeze(1);

say_stop_npc("'3The first one is talking.", &current_sprite);

wait(1000);

say_stop_npc("'5The second one is talking.", &temp);

}

Two important things:

1. Use say_stop_npc if you don't want the conversation interfering things or being interupted.

2. You must have a wait(???) in your script attached to a sprite to have an ongoing scene. Otherwise, nothing will happen. Those parts of the scripts will be somehow flushed while loading the screen.

: wait(1000);

: say_stop("'5testing second sprite", &temp);

: unfreeze(1);

: }

At least THESE -> say_stop("'3testing123", &current_sprite); were wrong. Put in say_stop("'6blah blah blah. ", &current_sprite); <1> ''''''' :)

What the hell.. Why did it change different after posting? Strange.. But sorry, you propably putted it right in your script.

I haven't put it in my script yet. What was wrong?

Just the ' in the start of the color speak thing, but it's nothing, those marks seem to change (at least in my computer) when i post them. I didn't post that very serious anyways, i just thought it was a little mistake. In THIS script, or part of a script, whatever:

void main(void)

{

&temp = &current_sprite;

freeze(1);

say_stop("'3testing123", &current_sprite);

wait(1000);

say_stop("'5testing second sprite", &temp);

unfreeze(1);

}

BTW, why was it first &current_sprite, and later &temp, they're the same thing, right?

&temp is a global??

The way that I would do it is... complicated. Following the advice of Redink
