draw_screen #

Prototypevoid draw_screen(void)

draw_screen() draws the last screen loaded, either explicitly loaded by load_screen() or implicitly loaded when Dink walked onto the current screen. It also runs the main() procedures of any scripts attached to the screen or its sprites.

This command is generally used after a load_screen() or to redraw the current screen after it has been messed up by certain commands such as fill_screen() or copy-bmp-to-screen(). It can also be used to change visions, if the base script is setup accordingly (i.e. &vision can only be changed in the base script, not in the script calling draw_screen()).

If the script executing draw_screen() is attached to a screen or a sprite, that script is abandoned when the draw_screen() command is started. Use script_attach(1000) to prevent this from happening. Alternatively, just make sure that main() in the new screen's script does any cleanup after the warp, such as a fade_up() or sp_nodraw(1,0).
