Forcing a value into an object holder
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Forcing a value into an object holder

| Howdy! Heres my dilema: type GameObject field x, y end type global gameobj.GameObject = new GameObject debuglog int(gameobj) debuglog displays a value ie "1243456", if you dont create a new game object debuglog displays "0", so Im assuming int(type) returns a handle (pointer) to that object. But Ive got a problem, so Im hoping sombody can help. I want to know if I can force a value in to gameobj. The following lines of code cause me compalation errors: gameobj = 123456 gameobj = gameobj(123456) gameobj = int(123456) and basicly Im all out of ideas, any help greatly appriated! (im currently using blitz 2d, but Ive got blitz + as well) ta Mr Brine |

| Hey, that line i belive gameobj = gameobj(123456) will make blitz use an array. so that'll prob give you an error. Can i ask why you are wanting to put a number into the handle? |

| basicly I want to store object pointers (using the int(gameobj) line to get the pointer) in a memory bank and then retrieve that value from the memory bank and force the value into a null object holder, the number '123456' is an example of a pointer value, and the line 'gameobj=gameobj(123456)' was meant to read 'gameobj = gameobject(123456)' a bit of typo on my part, but its irrelivant any way cause it didnt work!! hope this helps clarify the situatuion Mr Brine PS Oh yeah the overall reason I wanna do this is for my game, to help the general overall efficiency of the system. |
