Try this code
Why is x\x the same as w\x I would like them not to be the same. I want to create two independent collections of the same TYPE. Who do you do that
Can anybody help?

Type CHAIR
Field x, y
End Type

w.chair = New chair
w\x = 5226
test()
renderworld()
WaitKey
End
;-------------------------------
Function test()
For w.chair = Each chair
Print "test"
w\x = w\x + 1
Next
End Function

Function renderworld()

For x.chair = Each chair
; do you think the following statement will executed.
Print "renderworld"
Print x\x
Next

End Function

Simply as this.

Type CHAIR
Field x, y
End Type

Type CHAIR_X
Field x, y
End Type

Done :)

Actually, I'm surprised that your code ran at all. Technically, you never created the x type, only the w type. In other words, you had:

w.chair = New chair

But you forgot:

x.chair = New chair

Unless you simply forgot to add that when you entered it in the forums, that's probably your whole problem; you were calling a field from a type that didn't exist.

Thanks ADAM
That's what you showed is what I ended up doing.

The example code does run. I just copied and pasted to test. I am running the BlitzBasic not the Blitzplus,

No problemo, Dan60. One thing you should know is that calling your functions RenderWorld() can be a bad idea, because if you ever import your code to Blitz 3D, RenderWorld is a built-in command, so your program won't run. As long as you stick with B2D, though, it should be fine.
