Making script for give and take

Does anyone know how to make a script for give and take.

For example: Dink must go and search for an artifact and when he found it he can get the key to the portal or gets a weapon.

And I want to know how to make a script for saving a sprite and then he goes directly to the king?

Can someone please help?

In our first dmod we only used easy scripts now I want to make a good epic with a lot of things for dink to do.

Greetings Dinkholland and Missdink

P.S. Play our first dmod The Ultimate Challenge and then review it.

keep it real 
the key to this is LOOK AT THE ORIGINAL DINK SOURCE!! theres examples of pretty much everything you need to do. if you need to find the script for a specific thing, find that room in dinkedit (any good dmod author should have the dink map memorized like the back of his hand by now) check out what scripts are attached to sprites or the screen and see for yourself. learn how to interpret then and modify them and you my friend will be a legit scripter in no time.

Do you want Dink to get a weapon? add_item("Name",*Seq*,*Frame*) Eg: For fist: add_item("item-fst",438, 1);

Yeh you're right.
Ascpecially the map of the main dink game I know pretty much out my head. BUt I am a lazy person I really like help. BUt you said it right.
The original dink source is the place to search for that kind of scripts.

But when somebody has suggestions please place a reply.

I will read the source tonight and tomorrow. BUt I need to do create some new sprites to. Because I don't come any further with our new dmod.

I have another problem.

I tried to make a script for a riddlegate. But I can't figure out how it works.
I read the riddlegate scripts of Cast Awakening Initiations but I can't find the other script that is necessary for the answer.
And I can't figure out the main script of the portal.

Can somebody help me?

Note: credit for the riddlegates should be given to Paul Pliska, as I basically modified his riddle script from Lyna's Story.

There is no other script necessary for the answer. What happens with the riddle is it turns whatever answer you select into a number. This is usually stored in '&trv'.

Calculating the number by hand would be a pain in the donkey, so just run through the riddle with your answer, and have it say this number for you. Then write it down, and check for that number when you want to see when another answer is correct.

I will put it to my credit list.

And thank you redink1 for the help now I know how to read/make the script.

Indeed I saw the numbers at each letter of the alphabet.
I know it was something with numbers but I couldn't figure it out. Now I know thank you
