i really don't understand why this is behaving the way it is.

what's so difficult about drawing a vertical line?

when sprites are not enabled it's no problem to make a vertical line, but i need it to be a sprite because i have to draw and hide 4 different ones independently from eachother on the same LCD.

linesegment doesn't understand seven arguments, the color has to be 

your use of sprintf is *interesting* but completly misses the point. 

messageboxes with argments work prefectly fine for this kind message 

sequence, but you could also use textfile with text or a coll to make 

you don't have to rerecord the same sprite over and over. it stays in 

memory, that's kind of the idea behind sprites. just give them 

different names and draw them hen needed. otherwise you can just do a 

plain drawing sequence using new values for linesegment.

in my experience it works fine with 7 arguments.

yes i know, this patch was derived from another one, just kept the sprintf's out of laziness.

i thought i had to do it this was, because i need 4 lines that each have 3 appearances (horizontal, vertical, diagonal)

as far as i know, there's no way to rotate and scale sprites. all you can do is move them with an x,y coordinate.

i suppose i could also make 12 sprites and just draw/hide them.

that doesn't work for me because i need to draw/hide 4 different lines with each a different color indepently from eachother. frgb changes the color for all.

but i still don't see what's so different in the end.

weirdly enough, it works now.
but i still don't see what's so different in the end.

ok, so i changed all the unneccesary sprintf's into plain messages and now it works.

i would just like to know why...
