The Dink Network

i'm having trouble with this sword script. when you arm it it is supposed to play a sequence (the ninja arming the sword) but for some reason it just freezes the game...

//item sword1

void use( void )
{
//disallow diagonal punches

if (sp_dir(1, -1) == 1)
sp_dir(1, 2);
if (sp_dir(1, -1) == 3)
sp_dir(1, 2);
if (sp_dir(1, -1) == 7)
sp_dir(1, 8);
if (sp_dir(1, -1) == 9)
sp_dir(1, 8);

&basehit = sp_dir(1, -1);
&basehit += 100; //100 is the 'base' for the hit animations, we just add
//the direction
sp_seq(1, &basehit);
sp_frame(1, 1); //reset seq to 1st frame
sp_kill_wait(1); //make sure dink will punch right away
sp_nocontrol(1, 1); //dink can't move until anim is done!
wait(200);
playsound(8, 8000,0,0,0);

}

void disarm(void)
{
sp_attack_hit_sound(1, 0);

&strength -= 4;
sp_distance(1, 0);
sp_range(1, 0);
kill_this_task();
}

void arm(void)
{
&armsword = 1;
//sword range
sp_distance(1, 50);
sp_range(1, 40);
//sword strength added
&strength += 4;

sp_attack_hit_sound(1, 10);
sp_attack_hit_sound_speed(1, 8000);
