Posted by Bunniemaster on 09/30/01 - 19:29:12

This script is suposed to give dink a axe afterh e punches a chest and it opens but it never unfreezes so sombody please look and see wha i did wrong.

//script for chest with metas axe in

void main( void)

{

preload_seq(175);

}

void hit ( void )

{

freeze(1);

//play noise

int &hold = sp_editor_num(&current_sprite);

playsound(7, 22500, 0, 0, );

if (&hold != 0)

{

//this was placed by the editor, lets make the chest stay open

editor_type(&hold, 4);

editor_seq(&hold, 175);

editor_frame(&hold, 4);

//type means show this seq/frame combo as background in the future

}

&save_x = sp_x(&current_sprite, -1);

&save_y = sp_y(&current_sprite, -1);

sp_seq(&current_sprite, 175);

sp_script(&current_sprite, "");

sp_notouch(&current_sprite, 1);

sp_nohit(&current_sprite, 1);

// get the axe

playsound(21, 50000, 0, 0, );

add_item("Item-axe, 438, 06");

wait(1);

say_stop("I GOTS METAS AXE", 1);

wait(1);

unfreeze(1);

}

Not sure if this will help, but your playsound line doesn't have the 5th value which it requires. Maybe the script terminates because of that?

I also noticed another one or even two problems.

1. add_item("Item-axe", 438, 06);

instead of

add_item("Item-axe, 438, 06");

2. sp_script(&current_sprite, "");

I still don't quite know how this works. I assume this command detaches the script from the sprite, but then where is the script going to attach? It is very likely that the script would disappear. Since you have

wait(1);

say_stop("I GOTS METAS AXE", 1);

wait(1);

unfreeze(1);

after sp_script(&current_sprite, ""); the task might have finished before it reaches unfreeze(1).

Usually I put a script_attach(0) or a script_attach(1000) after all commands related to &current_sprite are done. And then put a kill_this_task() in the end to kill the task manually.
