Okay, I'm using a "supervar" to store 4 values.  It's not directly based on redink1's but it's the same idea. The values repesend a location on a 4 dimensional grid en theory, but in practice it's simply a passcode.



Now here comes the crazy part: There are seleval scripts that need to extract the 4 values from the global they're stored in, (eg one where they tell dink the code, one that checks if he did it right, etc.) I use a local temporary variable. But the script fails if it uses the same name for the temporary variable as one of the other scripts.



At least if they run at the same time. I'm not sure on that part. If so I guess it makes a little sense, but never the less, locals should not interact in any way.



So why is it doing this to me? Here's the script in case anyone feels like checking it out, but I think the real bug is to be found in dink's source code.



//my scroll



void use( void )

{

   if (&castmode == 2)

   {

       &castmode = 0;

       say_xy("You go ahead and throw it away.", 20, 370);

       kill_cur_item();

   }

   if (&castmode == 1)

   {

       &castmode = 0;

       say("I can't think of anything else to do with this.", 1);

       return;

   }



   &bunk = &planerghc;



   &row = &bunk;

   &bunk / 125;

   &bunk * 125;

   &row -= &bunk;

   &bunk / 125;



   &col = &bunk;

   &bunk / 125;

   &bunk * 125;

   &col -= &bunk;

   &bunk / 125;



   &pan = &bunk;

   &bunk / 125;

   &bunk * 125;

   &pan -= &bunk;

   &bunk / 125;



   &sph = &bunk;

 

   say("It reads: layer &row, column &col, pane &pan, sphere &sph.", 1);

}

   int &bunk;

   //weird, the script fails if I call this "&junk"

   int &row;

   int &col;

   int &pan;

   int &sph;

}



void pickup(void)

{

   Debug("Player now owns this scroll.");

   kill_this_task();

}



void drop(void)

{

   Debug("scroll dropped.");

   draw_status();

   kill_this_task();

}



Lastly, I realize it'e not that bad since it does work if I use different names, but it just doesn't make sense, and it makes me worried my scripts are leaking bytes all over the place.
