Castle Paradox

So...
used to play with ohr a bunch back in the day, but have downloaded it again for nostalgia / old time's sake

very impressed with the new stuff added
glad to see it and James are each still going strong

but I have some problem using slices with maplayers...
is this feature complete?

I wanted to load a medium enemy sprite; make it a parent to a map layer and then put the sprite ontop of an npc location...
it'll just be a boat to ferry the player across

when I test i get a script error:
setparent: invalid slice handle -101002

here's my code:

The map layer slice system is not fully complete. You cannot make a map layer a child of some other slice.

...but that doesn't really sound like what you want to do. Instead of making the boat the parent of the map, what you really want is to make the map the parent of the boat (which totally works)

Also, the sl: constants are *only* used for the "lookup slice" commands, you shouldn't use them with any other slice commands.

Here is an example.

oh yes that is what I wanted, thanks James!
this worked perfect

guess I accidentally said I wanted the boat the parent rather than vice versa
