| Cna someone tell me why this isn't working: Type Tplayer Field x Field y Field x_inc Field y_inc Field frame End Type Global player:Tplayer[] =New Tplayer[4] player(1).x=0 player(1).y=200 player(1).x_inc=1 player(1).y_inc=1 player(1).frame=0 player(2).x=0 player(2).y=220 player(2).x_inc=2 player(2).y_inc=2 player(2).frame=32 |

| You need New for every instance. Also arrays in Bmax are like that of C, they include the index of 0 but end before the number you sized it with, in this case 0 to 3 which gives 4 elements. Type Tplayer Field x Field y Field x_inc Field y_inc Field frame End Type Global player:Tplayer[] =New Tplayer[4] player[0]=New Tplayer player[0].x=0 player[0].y=200 player[0].x_inc=1 player[0].y_inc=1 player[0].frame=0 player[1]=New Tplayer player[1].x=0 player[1].y=220 player[1].x_inc=2 player[1].y_inc=2 player[1].frame=32 |

| hi, here are some tips: First, you can Encapsulate the array within the Tplayer Type. This is called a Static Field Type Tplayer Global PlayerArray:Tplayer[] second, you can use a Constructor to help initialize the fields and add the Object to the list Function AddPlayer:Tplayer(pname:String ,xpos:Float , ypos:Float) Local p = Len(Tplayer.PlayerArray) ' get the current number of elements in the array Tplayer.PlayerArray = Tplayer.PlayerArray[..p+1] ' Slice to resize the array Local temp:Tplayer = New Tplayer ' create a player and assign attributes temp.name = pname temp.x = xpos temp.y = ypos Tplayer.PlayerArray[p] = temp ' add the newly created player to the array Return temp ' return a reference to the newly crreated object (there if you need it) End Function Third, Instead of creating an array of a fixed size, you can slice it whenever you need to add a new player. Tplayer.PlayerArray = Tplayer.PlayerArray[..p+1] ' Slice to resize the array |
