What is wiceblock.png

[E_Man]

I was randomly browsing through the graal folders when I found the image wiceblock.png in weapons. I thought to myself that was from an original script since it was in the weapons folder, but when I looked on the internet about what it was, I could not find anything. What was the script that wiceblock.png was in supposed to do?

Looks big enough for a graalian to fit into, maybe it was used to show players as frozen.

Ya, that makes sense, it probably was that, though the image is not semi transparent.

Semi-transparency wouldn't have been used in Graal images 10+ years ago.

It was invoked on the player upon touching a primitive Ice Arrow NPC:

PHP Code:

if (playerenters) timeout = 0.05;
if (playertouchsme) {
  if (playerdir==2) putleaps 5,x,y;
  else {
    set icefreeze;
    putnpc wiceblock.gif,iceblock.txt,playerx-2/16,playery-7/16;
  }
  destroy;
}
if (timeout) {
  timeout = 0.05;
  y-=0.7;
  if (y<2) destroy;
} 


PHP Code:

if (playerenters) {
  if (icefreeze) {
    freezeplayer 3;
    x = playerx-2/16;
    y = playery-7/16;
    unset icefreeze;
  }
  timeout = 3;
}
if (timeout) {
  putleaps 5,x+1,y;
  putleaps 5,x+1,y+2;
  destroy;
}

What is iceblock.txt, actually I have seen lots of scripts refer back to a .txt. Is there somewhere where these are located?

They also used to be within the weapons folder on a much older version of Graal.

I think it was used during Classic: GTA's Magic/Well quest. When you touhed an ice block you would be frozen for a couple of seconds, could have been a different graphic though

Old as dirt. Thor posted the original script, but it was never used. It's as old as the Shuriken and Hammer scripts.

Didn't the old cane of ... something use this? Maybe it is what Thor spoke of. I remember laming people in sister Gertrude's with it.
