Reply to Re: Script created Sprite that can be commanded from multiple other scripts
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
You can make &dude a global variable. Then you could just do &dude = ¤t_sprite in the dude's script, and you could move him with move_stop(&dude, blah blah blah) from the bookshelf's script.
Alternatively, if the dude is the only sprite on the screen with a specific brain (such as 9 or 16), or you give him a custom brain, getting his sprite from the bookshelf script is as easy as:
int &dude = get_sprite_with_this_brain(9,0)
move_stop(&dude, blah blah blah)
Even if there are multiple sprites with the same brain on the screen, it's possible to single out the dude by giving him some unique property that other sprites don't have and looking for that in the bookshelf script. That's a little more complicated, though, so I won't go into it unless that's needed. =)
