The Dink Network

So, I want dink to push a rock to reveal a hidden cave. How should I do to make the program know in witch direction dink is pushing from?

You can use sp_dir() to find out which way Dink is facing. For example if you want the rock to be moved from left to right only:

void push (void)
{
  int &dir = sp_dir(1, -1);
  if (&dir == 6)
  {
    //move rock change hardness etc
  }
  else
    say("I can't move it...", 1);
}

This isn't working :/

void push (void)
{
int &dir = sp_dir(1, -1);
if (&dir == 6)
{
sp_hard(&current_sprite, 1);
draw_hard_map();
move_stop( &current_sprite, 6, 401, 1);
sp_hard(&current_sprite, 0);
draw_hard_map();
}
else
say("I can't push it in this direction...", 1);
}

Have you given the rock a speed higher than 0?

Hmmm... either what Meta said, and you also have a space beetwen

move_stop(

and

&current_sprite, 6, 401, 1);

Oh, how stupid of me <.<
I had speed 0
anyway, it's working now

What stops that rock going back to where u started from (so you cant get out if its a doorway etc) The rock returns to its original location after you exit the area and effectively blocks u in? (sorry to poach yer topic iplaydink)but this particular prob is drivin me nuts too

Well, you probably want to use a global in that case. (At least that's the easy way out.)

Something like this:

void main (void)
{
  if (&story > 3)
  {
    sp_x(&current_sprite,401);
    draw_hard_map();
  }
}

void push (void)
{
  if (&story == 3)
  {
    int &dir = sp_dir(1, -1);
    if (&dir == 6)
    {
      sp_speed(&current_sprite,1);
      move_stop( &current_sprite, 6, 401, 1);
      &story = 4;
      draw_hard_map();
    }
    else
      say("I can't push it in this direction...", 1);
  }
}

Nup tried that and it wont push in any direction - Thanks anyhoo... I need to do some heavy duty readin of the ole script makin thingi ma bob

use the "hold" funtion.
