The Dink Network

It should be obvious by now that scripting is not my high point.

my main problem has been with this script:

dragon.c

...
void die( void )
{
screenlock(0);
freeze(1);
say_stop("blahblahblah.", 1);
wait(500);
say_stop("blah", 1);
say_stop("blahblah", 1);
&story = 20;
script_attach(1000);
fade_down();
&player_map = 336;
sp_x (1, 407);
sp_y (1, 195);
load_screen();
draw_screen();
fade_up();
wait(500);
say_stop("blahblahblahblahblah.", 1);
unfreeze(1);
}

I'm sure this is easy enough to repair...

but I'm still not quite sure what the problem is.
Any advice + suggestions + help would be useful.

The die command is retarded. I think your problem is that the stuff in the die procedure doesn't work? Try setting the dragon's brain to 0 at the beginning of the die command.

You could also take a look at en-gmog.c to see how it worked with Mog in the original Dink game.

Yeah, that'll work, only you'll need to set the dragon's death seq and frame manually.

You could also use spawn("cutscene.c"); and do the dialoque in another script, which is simpler, really.

That works too, but it would be spawn("cutscene");
You don't use the extension in spawning scripts.
Also, I agree that in this situation you should use the spawn method.
