The Dink Network

: Dink is placed to a screen (script_attach, player map change etc), then a follower sprite is created (spawn("friend")) and end of that script. On the screen is some other object, whose script the below is:

: void main( void )

: {

: freeze(1);

: wait(200);

: move_stop(1, 8, 300, 0);

: freeze(&sprite2);

: fade_up();

: say_stop("I'm saying things just for an example!", &sprite2);

: unfreeze(1);

: unfreeze(&sprite2);

: }

: And sprite2 doesn't say a thing.. anyone?

Make sure you know where &sprite2 comes from. At least you're not telling us that, darling.

But I can make some assumptions. This is attached to some totally out-of-the-meaning object (since you don't just use &current_sprite as the sprite). You are sure this script runs after the script that creates the &sprite2 sprite? (You know, the order of which scripts are run is totally undecideable, and as I see it, &sprite2 may not yet have been made, considering that there is no create_sprite(); in this script, anyway). This is kind of hard to explain.. but you say you make the "friend sprite" by using spawn("friend"). (I assume this friend sprite is put in &sprite2) But how can you be sure that is run before this script is? You can't. You just can't. Anyway, it's stupid of me making assumptions, I need a wider idea of what you're doing to help you further (by seeing all the scripts involved for instance, and how you spawn this and that, and where &sprite2 came from, and so on)
