I'm making a D-Mod what player starts with a Gun (item script is based on Paul Zielinski's Counter-Strike mod's P90). Now if game gives this script to the boot, the game crashes... Why?!?

Perhaps you should post the script, so we can see what's wrong with it...
Also giving scripts to a boot isn't a very good thing to do,. you should give the boot to a script... Oh, don't mind, just plain nonsense

There's a code:

//item garand

void use( void )
{

&mholdx = sp_x(1, -1);
&mholdy = sp_y(1, -1);

&mydir = sp_dir(1, -1);

if (&ammogarand == 0)
{
playsound(52, 22050,0,0,0);
Say("JONES! I'm out of ammo for my carbine gun!", 1);
wait(250);
return;
}

playsound(50, 22050,0,0,0);

if (&mydir == 6)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 6);
sp_dir(&junk, 6);
}

if (&mydir == 4)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 4);
sp_dir(&junk, 4);
}

if (&mydir == 2)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 2);
sp_dir(&junk, 2);
}

if (&mydir == 8)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 8);
sp_dir(&junk, 8);
}

if (&mydir == 9)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 5);
sp_dir(&junk, 9);
}

if (&mydir == 1)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 1);
sp_dir(&junk, 1);
}

if (&mydir == 7)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 7);
sp_dir(&junk, 7);
}

if (&mydir == 3)
{
&junk = create_sprite(&mholdx, &mholdy, 11, 25, 3);
sp_dir(&junk, 3);
}

sp_speed(&junk, 10);

sp_strength(&junk, 25);
sp_range(&junk, 4);
//this makes it easier to hit stuff
sp_flying(&junk, 1);
sp_script(&junk, "dam-garand");
&ammogarand -= 1;
&magic = &ammogarand;
sp_brain_parm(&junk, 1);

return;
}

Aha: I don't know, how to give a boot to script

It is trying to use &ammogarand and unless that is initiated in main ( as a global), that might crash.

Something else may be that you don't have the right icon for the item, that you're using a frame number that doesn't exist with your add_item("item", 485, 1); or whatever command

The ammo var is initiated in main.c (as global), and im using the right icon.

The ammo MUST be limited!

Try this:

1. Open Start-1.c ( if you use skeleton ) and scroll down, when you find
"Add_item("item-fst", 438, 1);"

change it to, or just add this line:

"Add_item("Item-g1", 438, 1);"

save the script you typed above ( the weapon script ) as "Item-g1.c"

when dink starts, if it doesnt crash, you should have the gun ( fist graphics )

NOTE:
If you place a new icon graphic for a weapon you should copy all icon graphics to the map, or it will only find your icon and dink crashes because the "add_item("item-fst", 438, 1);" cannot find the fist icon

long story short:

Just copy all icons to the graphics folder
"graphics\inter\menu\"

So the reason was: the script file has too long name (was item_garand.c , renamed now to item_g1.c , and it works!)
