why the heck doesn't this work?
basically, I want the game to change its code when I call a tsc event but it always crashes. Is this just impossible, or is there some work around?

if nobody helps me nobody gets a prize.

(I gave no code, cuz i didn't think it was necessary. if you want something to toy around with, go to 419cb1 and put mov [419cb0],55 if you can get that not to crash, kudos.)

wewt, nevermind.
well, in case anybody wants to know, you put in a pointer to an editable address, and change the edity. works like a charm.

next question, anybody know of some free space that I could use without screwing up the game? I'm currently using the health, which is less then optimal.

If you're using either CE or SW you have all the space where the map data used to be free to place code.
