eltimo	If i type this code like it is in the manual (obviously changing the names of the character files: int currentplayer=entitySpawn(10,10,"Darin.chr"); changeChr(currentPlayer, "Charin.chr"); Surely it should change the chr when this line of code is inserted. But.... instead it makes a second character that doeant do anything at all 00 ? Posted on 2006-03-04 16:11:19
eltimo	Can't help noticing that noones awnsered this, 2nd day running! Posted on 2006-03-06 14:04:35
mcgrue	It should work. This is how Darin gets his outfit changed in the fashion institute in Bumsville, after all. Have you tried verifying that the second CHR is properly formed? Posted on 2006-03-06 16:17:56

McGrue put's it perfectly: you didn't get an answer because everyone's scratching their heads. The code you posted should work just fine. If it doesn't, we have a problem.

eltimo	well it doesnt at the moment, I can't work out whats wrong with it. Verge runs the code but you get another character that has no purpose in life. Thanks anyway Posted on 2006-03-07 13:21:02
Kildorf	Wait uh... I think I may see what's wrong. The first line of code is only there to create an entity for the second line to change. Take out the first line, and change "currentPlayer" in the second line to whatever variable you're storing your player's entity in. Does that make sense? Posted on 2006-03-07 17:43:55
eltimo	Yep that works thanks Kildorf. phew I was beggining to get worried that there was some serious shit up with my code. Thanks! Posted on 2006-03-08 12:10:30
Kildorf	Heh, no problem. Glad I could help. Posted on 2006-03-08 17:15:37
rosh.r03	i have the same problem i understand most of what you said but if you take out the first line wouldn't the mean that the script wouldn't work? And where would the player be stored in a variable? Is that like ..... Darin.MAK or Darin.PCX or Darin.VC (Or what ever) Posted on 2006-06-22 04:25:57 (last edited on 2006-06-22 04:27:21)
