Hi,
I didn't find anything useful in the documentation, so here's the problem.
I placed some code in the die()procedure of an sprite and only the first few commands were executed -- after that: nothing.
The code is ok.
I copied it in the hit procedure and it worked perfectly.
So what is it with dying?
Is there a time limit or something like that?

Thanks in advance, ABJ

Umm... what is the code you put in? We can't help you without knowing what code you used.

Immediately after calling the die procedure, the sprite becomes inactive and the script is terminated.

The engine does not wait until the die procedure is done executing, only until it has a chance to.

So, if you can't have any wait-type commands in the die procedure (say_stop, move_stop, wait, etc) .

Or you could try something like this:

void die(void)
{
script_attach(0);
freeze(1);
say_stop("Aha! I can speak!", 1);
say_stop("Multiple lines!", 1);
unfreeze(1);
kill_this_task();
}

Isn't there some way to artificially keep the sprite alive, so wait-type commands can be executed and still use &current_sprite?

Check the mog script in the original game. I presume another sprite was created on that spot and had a script attached.

All Questions answered.

Thanks, ABJ

Can I get ABJ?

You want me
That's so nice from you, but i'm married

ABJ are my initials, and a whole bunch of people call me ABJ.
So there must be a really good or at least sad story to let me give up ABJ.

Let's see if i can do it...

CU, Andy.

Depends if you are already married or not.
You say I do, then she say's "Oh no you don't."


But yes, I'm bitter.
