dinkedit problem- sprites... (Closed)
ok, why is it that when i try to edit the main dink game, the sprites (as in ppl) do not show up in the editor?? everything else does, ive tried changing vision numbers, but nothing happens..
also, with visions, can somneone plz explain?? is it true that if an object is in vision 0, it will still appear when the vision is 1?? i think it must, otherwise you'd have to add things every time for every vision there was....

hmmm...

in stores, the people are made by a script, in the bar in terris too. You should check the scripts assigned to other sprites and check if the room has a sprite, simple, hold I

ok, thanks for that hint, ill look it up. also:
in the function move(), the parameter distance, what is it?? i know it controlls how far dink goes, BUT:
1.- is it a co-ordinate reference?? (for either X or Y, depending on direction of travel), or is it a distance needed to travel, from the sprites starting point. the latter would seem more sensable, otherwise the direction parameter could be made redundant, with a bit of clever coding...
hmmmm...

thanks for allt he help guys...

My problem with this has alwaysbeen that editor_type() is not zero(0). This isn't even supposed to be possible in DinkEdit, it's a bug. I have had good luck with two alternative kludge workarounds: (1) re-create the sprite in DinkEdit, then delete the old version (so I get a new editor number); or (2) change editor_type() in a base script. It is not even necessary to do a wait(1) in the base script to wait for the screen to be drawn, because editor_type() uses DinkEdit sprite numbers, not Dink sprite numbers.
