| i bet this question has been asked a million times but i need to know the answer. how do you put types in types? can someone give me a quick example on how to pull this off? |
| ||
| You can't do that, the language doesn't support it. Unless I'm not understanding what you mean. Could you elaborate? |
| ||
| Yes you can: It is sort of like this: Set up the first Type. Create the second Type, however, include a field that references the first Type. So you might have a Type for Orc with fields of race, level, money, etc. which is called 'Orc' - in the second Type called MageOrc you could have a field called MOrc - which includes the Orc Type into the new MageOrc (MOrc.Orc), plus any new fields for MageOrc such as magic, spell_level, etc. I sort of did that out of my head - but that is the general idea. |

| YES you can, here's a good example from Krylar's book "Learn to Program 2D Games in Blitz Basic"... Quote: Type Ships Field Name$ Field LaserPower% Field Armor% Field ShieldPower% Field Missiles% Field TopSpeed% End Type Type Destroyers Field ShipBasics.Ships Field LandingBays% Field FighterCompliment% Field IonCannonPower% End Type Destroyer\ShipBasics.Ships = New Ships Destroyer\ShipBasics\Name$ = Name$ Destroyer\ShipBasics\LaserPower% = LaserPower% ... ... Destroyer\LandingBays% = LandingBays% Hope this helps IPete2. |

You can also referrence a type within itself as I'm usingType vector Field x Field y Field z End Type Type object Field pos.vector Field siz.vector Field rot.vector Field next_obj.object Field prev_obj.object End Type Just remember that you need to create new instance of all subtypes. eg. To create an object I would need to use... Object1.object=New object Object1\pos=New vector Object1\siz=New vector Object1\rot=New vector ...to create vectors for position, size and object. |

| thank you so much! *skyfire1 jumps around his room. *skyfire1 says like he's jumping around the room but in reality, he's sitting on his chair, doing absolutly nothing. |
