The Dink Network

Line 82, the choice is on the same line as the bracket:

if (&junk < 1)
  {       choice_start();

After saying "you don't have enough money" it will take the gold and give him the sword anyway...

Lay it out roughly like this:

choice_start();
"longsword"
"clawsword"
"nothing"
if (&result == 1)
{
  if (&junk < 1)
  {
    //say not enough space
    goto skip;
  }
  if (&gold < 400)
  {
    //say not enough gold
    goto skip;
  }
  //take gold and give dink the sword here
}
if (&result == 2)
{
  //same as longsword
}
skip:
  unfreeze(1);

And by the way, I tried your other script with walking through the water... I just made a blank D-Mod, added the graphics from FIAT, made a river with two lines of benches at the edge (inner line with the water script and outer line just changing &splashing to 0) and it works fine! The only change I made was taking out the externals.
