There, now that the tags are out of the way.

Majora is trying to get his shield script to work without the muck of Link Tile Modifiers. I've begun to brainstorm a script for this, but I've hit a wall with all the possible actions Link can take while holding a shield.

int WoodenShield = # //Replace with the item number for your wooden shield
int WoodShieldRaised = ### //Replace with the tile number that corresponds to the wooden shield
						//When Link is blocking with it.
						//Make sure you arrange the tiles in the following order:
						//Face Up, Face Down, Face Left, Face Right.  Keep the two frame-animations together
int WoodShieldRest = ### //Replace with the tile number that corresponds to the wooden shield
						//When Link has it at his side.
						//Use the same arrangement as Raised.

If(Link->Item[WoodenShield]){ //Checks if Link has the Wooden Shield
	If(Link->InputEx1){ //Button Assigned to the Shield
		//Insert the block code for your script here
		FastTile(0, Link->X, Link->Y, WoodShieldRaised + Link->Dir*2, WoodShieldCset, 128) //Draws the shield on
						//Link's Layer.  It should automatically adjust for direction.
	}
	Elseif(Link->Action == 0){ //Standing Still
		FastTile(0, Link->X, Link->Y, WoodShieldRest + Link->Dir*2, WoodShieldCset, 128) //Draws the shield on
						//Link's Layer.  It should automatically adjust for direction.
	Elseif(Link->Action == 1){ //Walking
		FastTile(0, Link->X, Link->Y, WoodShieldRest + Link->Dir*2 + 1, WoodShieldCset, 128) //
	}
}//And so on in that manner.  You've got your work cut out for you on this.
//Also, we'll have to figure out how to handle moving while the shield is raised.
//Perhaps  Action == 0 and Action == 1 need to be the uppermost IF statements.

If either of you can work out how to make this script better/more functional/less bloated, give me a tag. I'm stumped.

EDIT: Copy the code into a notepad so you can actually read it.
