Prince of Persia

A "bug" in Prince of Persia where the kid decides whether or not to draw sword automatically depending on if you press shift somewhere else or not.
P.S. This is independent of which level you are in. If you manually sheathe your sword and don't leave the screen, the prince will not draw the sword automatically, unless you press shift key.



Any idea why this is happening? This is the case with both the DOS and the SDLPoP version.

When you sheathe the sword manually, the "offguard" variable is set.

And there is logic that does not draw the sword when the "offset" variable is set and "Shift" has not been pressed.

The offguard variable should probably be set to 0 when the "can_guard_see_kid" variable is set to 0.

Yeah, that fixed the problem in SDLPoP.
