void talk( void)
{
int &girl;
freeze(1);
(unimportent talking)
{
(unimportent talking)
{
(unimportent talking)
&girl = create_sprite(368, 342, 0, 0, 0);
sp_brain(&girl, 6);
sp_speed(&girl, 1);
sp_timing(&girl, 0);
//set starting pic
sp_pseq(&girl, 251);
sp_script(&girl, "s1-girl");
}
}
unfreeze(1);
}
this creates a sprite girl and makes that sprite run the following script:
void main( void )
{
freeze(1);
(lots of unimportent talking)
unfreeze(1);
(some more unimportent talking)
int &hold = sp_editor_num(¤t_sprite);
if (&hold != 0)
editor_type(&hold, 1);
}
there is only one problem with these two scripts is that once the second script starts to run, dink becomes unfrozen.
I have no idea why this would happen, so maybe someone with more expireince then me can see something that would make dink unfreeze once the second script started to run.

Simple: just think like a computer!
When it executes the sp_script(&girl,"s1-girl"); the CPU then goes off and executes the main(void) function in s1-girl.c. Because of threads the result may differ with different computers..
Maybe change the unfreeze(1) to:
if (&girl == 0)
unfreeze(1);
