OK here is the deal. I am warping dink to a place if he touches an item. This item is four sided and I have lots of them. I need to store the room, x and, y for his return. I also would like to store the direction dink was standing when he touched the item so I can use it to move him away from the item when I send him back.; to keep from having a loop. I just need to know what to tell it to store. Like:
&my_spot_x = ?
&my_spot_y = ?
&my_room = ?
&my_direction = ?
I can always do it the long ways but maybe I wont have to.

I thought it was sp_x, sp_y, and so forth. I'm positive that dinkc tells you what values you can check for these things, then just store them. Did you look through dinkc.txt already?

Yeah. Make sure that these variables are global, tho. What you would do is this:
&my_spot_x = sp_x(1,-1);
&my_spot_y = sp_y(1,-1);
&my_room = &player_map;
&my_direction = sp_dir(1,-1);
The -1 tells it to give the current value. You can do this with other commands too, like sp_speed(1,-1); to give Dink's current speed.
