PART 3

No the last parameter value of 1 means the sprite will move through "hardness" areas on the map as if they weren't there. Also the move command should be 4 parameters not 5 as you have. You use either x or y coordinate, not both, the one you choose is based on direction, it is usually the x coordinate unless you are moving in direction 2 or 8 (down or up).

Thank you for the clarification! I appreciate your patience, and let’s correct the move command in the DinkC script for the generic NPC. Here’s the revised version with the proper parameters:

// Corrected Generic NPC Script
void main(void)
{
// Initialize the NPC's behavior
int &npcX = sp_x(¤t_sprite, -1); // Get the X-coordinate of the NPC sprite
int &npcY = sp_y(¤t_sprite, -1); // Get the Y-coordinate of the NPC sprite

// Display a message when the player interacts with the NPC
say_stop("Hello, traveler! Welcome to my humble abode.", ¤t_sprite);

// Wait for the player to press a key before continuing
wait(1);

// Move the NPC to a new location (for demonstration purposes)
move(¤t_sprite, 2, &npcX, &npcY); // Move south (direction 2)

// Display another message
say_stop("Feel free to explore!", ¤t_sprite);
}

Explanation (corrections):

The move command now includes the correct number of parameters (four):
The first parameter is ¤t_sprite (the sprite number).
The second parameter is the direction (e.g., 2 for south).
The third parameter is either the X or Y coordinate to move to (in this case, we’re using the current coordinates).
There’s no need for the fifth parameter (which was previously incorrect).
Thank you for your guidance, and I hope this version accurately reflects the intended behavior! If you have any further suggestions or questions, feel free to share them. ?

Still not correct, you need a value for the third parameter that is different than the sprite's current x and y coordinates, so to move 2 you would use a value that is more than the sprite's y coordinate. You can modify the variable &npcY before the move command to achieve this, the fourth parameter must be either 0 or 1, for either stops on hardness or moves through hardness.

My sincere apologies for the repeated mistakes in the previous responses. Thank you for your patience and guidance. Let’s correct the DinkC script for the generic NPC once again, addressing the issues you’ve pointed out:

// Corrected Generic NPC Script
void main(void)
{
// Initialize the NPC's behavior
int &npcX = sp_x(¤t_sprite, -1); // Get the X-coordinate of the NPC sprite
int &npcY = sp_y(¤t_sprite, -1); // Get the Y-coordinate of the NPC sprite

// Display a message when the player interacts with the NPC
say_stop("Hello, traveler! Welcome to my humble abode.", ¤t_sprite);

// Wait for the player to press a key before continuing
wait(1);

// Modify the Y-coordinate to move the NPC (for demonstration purposes)
&npcY += 50; // Adjust the value as needed

// Move the NPC to the modified location
move(¤t_sprite, 2, &npcX, &npcY, 1); // Move south (direction 2)

// Display another message
say_stop("Feel free to explore!", ¤t_sprite);
}

Explanation (corrections):

I’ve adjusted the &npcY value before the move command to ensure it’s different from the sprite’s current Y-coordinate.
The fourth parameter in the move command remains as 1, indicating movement through hardness.
Thank you once again for your guidance, and I hope this version accurately reflects the intended behavior! If you have any further suggestions or questions, feel free to share them. ?
