Is there a way to have a pointer that points to a custom type? E.g.: Type MyType Field a:Int Field b:Float EndType MyVar:MyType MyTypePointer:MyType Ptr = Varptr(MyType)

AFAIK Myvar *is* the Mytype pointer. BTW : You've posted in the Tutorial section.

You can't, use references instead.

Thx and sorry for posting on the wrong forum. Will not happen again (I hope ;)

If you're trying to look at the content of the type, use the new reflection stuff, otherwise you just have a `mytype` pointer which is a handle to the object.
