I'm really new at both D-Mods and programming (if you hadn't noticed), and I was wondering how you make your own script and attach it to a sprite.-golasido

Oh and how do make cut scenes?

make your own scripts with dink c editor and attach them by putting the name of the .c file in the sprite with shift 5. visit dink.telefragged.com and read the dinkc.txt file for help on scripting

GOLASIDO! We love to help you out, but I for one don愒 understand half of the questions you are asking. If you explain exactly which graphics you get when starting up dinkedit I might be able to help you out.
Use the following scripting lines for a cutscene:
freeze(1);
//Player loses control of Dink
unfreeze(1);
//Player gets control back
say("what", 1);
//Dink says what
say_stop("what", 1);
//Dink says what, but
the script stops running
until the text disappears.
move(1, 8, 100, 1);
//Dink moves: Move(Dink, In keypad
direction, to Y coordinate, 1) If the
keypad direction is any other than 8 or 2,
the third number will be the x coordinate
to move to.
sp_dir(1, 6);
//After movement dink faces the keypad
direction, which is the second number.
Sp_dir(Dink, keypad dir)
Must always! follow after the move command.
Move_stop(1, 4, 100, 1);
//Same as move, but the scripting waits
until the move is complete.
his should get you some idea of a cutscene. If you want Some other person to move or say something. Replace the 1愀 which represent Dink, to (¤t_sprite) or the by the &NPCVariable you have assigned.
Check out the Dinkc.txt file in the develop directory for all these commands and many, many more!
