Function doesn't recognise type

Hello,

just a quick one, how do I make my Functions recognise my types??

I've got this:

Type player
field x,y
end type

Player1.player = New player
Player1\X = centerx+gridsize
Player1\Y = (centery+gridsize) - spriteoffset

;--some lines later

If KeyDown = kleft Then
playermoveleft()
EndIf

;--further down

Function playermoveleft()

player1\x = player1\x - 1

End Function

It's saying "Variable must be a type"
What am I doing wrong now? :)

Sorry for being such a noob, and thanks again in advance for the quick responses from you pros!

you must set player1.player as global, so just put
global player1.player
at the top and it will work

Change it to this:

Fuction playermoveleft()

For player1.player = Each player
	player1\x = player1\x - 1
Next

End Function

And that should do it.

Of course, if you need to target a specific player, then this won't work. :(

Function PlayerMoveLeft(aPlayer.Player)

	aPlayer\x = aPlayer\x - 1

End Function

This will work with any player, just pass the current player to the function.
