Dark Link Help

Okay I need some serious help here. We have a stack overflow error. What do?

FFC script 1 (Darklink): Invalid ZASM command 65535 reached

I don't know if that is a stack overflow. Try breaking up the script into two and see if that helps.

I'm a little confused as to how 65535 was run since it's not even a valid command. 0xFFFF is basically reserved. You used to get a "Stack over or underflow" error so I'm not so sure that's what it is. Hmm...

Nope. In GRIKARUGUN the basic 1x1 enemy script alone is over 2100 lines and most of it looks like this:

if(tx<120)dir=3;if(tx>120)dir=2;init=true;enemy->CSet=6;this->CSet=6;enemy->HP=enemyHP;this->Vx=0; //etc...

If I ran it through a code formatter it would probably be around 10,000. 😉

I'm an idiot. That error means you have an infinite loop, and since I didn't have a jump sound nothing was playing.

That doesn't sound right. Are you saying you found and fixed the issue? Can you elaborate?

Very well, I shall elaborate.

        void Dodge(ffc this, npc ghost)
        {
                Ghost_Data=GetComboOffset(this, DARKLINK_CMB_DODGE);
                float linkangle=ArcTan(DLCenterX()-CenterLinkX(),DLCenterY()-CenterLinkY());
                Ghost_Jump=2.8;
                Game->PlaySound(ghost->Attributes[DARKLINK_ATTR_SFX_JUMP]);
                while(Ghost_Z>0 || Ghost_Jump>0)
                {
                        Ghost_MoveAtAngle(linkangle,DARKLINK_JUMP_STEP*(ghost->Step/100),3);
                        Ghost_ForceDir(OppositeDir(RadianAngleDir4(linkangle)));
                        //Missing a waitframe.
                }
        }
        void Jump(ffc this, npc ghost)
        {
                int dir=JumpDirection();
                if(dir==-1)
                {
                        Dodge(this,ghost); //this happens vary rarely
                        return;
                }
       
                Ghost_Jump=DARKLINK_JUMP_VELOCITY;
                Game->PlaySound(ghost->Attributes[DARKLINK_ATTR_SFX_JUMP]);
                while(Ghost_Z>0 || Ghost_Jump>0)
                {
                        Ghost_Move(dir,DARKLINK_JUMP_STEP*(ghost->Step/100),3);
                        Ghost_ForceDir(OppositeDir(dir));
                        //Missing a waitframe.
                }
        }

This caused an infinite loop, more so the sword sprite was blank so it didn't appear so I was mistaken which part was causing the problem.
