Title: TYPE is not declared
Post by: bigtunacan on 2012-Aug-15

I'm getting a TYPE is not declared error, but I don't see what is wrong with my code. I've included the snippets here.

First I created a base animation TYPE; I'm referencing it directly in a few places and it works correctly.

Code (glbasic) Select



TYPE ANIMATION
	ID // This is a unique identifier for this particular animation
	ANIM_INDEX // This is the sprite index
	CURR_FRAME
	NUM_FRAMES
	NAME$
	STEPTIME% // delta step for fixed or absolute time to finish
	LAST_UPDATE_TIME
	TIMESTEPMODE
	LOOPMODE

	FUNCTION draw:x%,y%
		DRAWANIM self.ANIM_INDEX, self.CURR_FRAME, x%, y%
	ENDFUNCTION

	FUNCTION init: index%, width%, height%, name$
		self.ANIM_INDEX=index%
		self.CURR_FRAME=0

		LOCAL sx%,sy%
		GETSPRITESIZE index, sx%, sy%
		self.NUM_FRAMES = sx%/width%
		self.NAME$=name$
		self.STEPTIME%=100
		self.LAST_UPDATE_TIME = MASTERTIMER
		self.LOOPMODE=LOOPFOREVER
	ENDFUNCTION

	FUNCTION anim:
		IF(GETTIMERALL() > (self.LAST_UPDATE_TIME + self.STEPTIME%))
			self.CURR_FRAME = IIF(self.CURR_FRAME>=(self.NUM_FRAMES-1), 0, self.CURR_FRAME+1)
			self.LAST_UPDATE_TIME = GETTIMERALL()
		ENDIF
	ENDFUNCTION

	FUNCTION is_equal: an AS ANIMATION
		IF an.ID = self.ID
			RETURN TRUE
		ELSE
			RETURN FALSE
		ENDIF
	ENDFUNCTION

ENDTYPE

Then I tried to reference the ANIMATION type from within another TYPE; this is where I have the issues

Code (glbasic) Select



TYPE BLOWFISH
	STATE%
	STATE_START%=0
	STATE_TRANSFORM%=1
	STATE_BLINK%=2
	STATE_FROWN%=3
	STATE_HUGE%=4

	START AS ANIMATION
	TRANSFORM AS ANIMATION
	BLINK AS ANIMATION
	FROWN AS ANIMATION
	HUGE AS ANIMATION

	SUB bf_init:
		self.START = FILE_LOADANIM("/Animations/enemies/", "blowfish.xml")
		self.TRANSFORM = FILE_LOADANIM("/Animations/enemies/", "blowfishtransform.xml")
		self.BLINK = FILE_LOADANIM("/Animations/enemies/", "blowfishblink.xml")
		self.FROWN = FILE_LOADANIM("/Animations/enemies/", "blowfishfrown.xml")
		self.HUGE = FILE_LOADANIM("/Animations/enemies/", "blowfishhuge.xml")

		self.STATE = self.STATE_START%

		POSX%=0
		POSY%=0
	ENDSUB

	SUB bf_draw:
		GOSUB bf_update

		SELECT self.STATE
			CASE self.STATE_START%
				self.START.draw(1,1)
			CASE self.STATE_TRANSFORM%
				self.TRANSFORM.draw(1,1)
			CASE self.STATE_BLINK%
				self.BLINK.draw(1,1)
			CASE self.STATE_FROWN%
				self.FROWN.draw(1,1)
			CASE self.STATE_HUGE%
				self.HUGE.draw(1,1)
			DEFAULT
				self.START.draw(1,1)
		ENDSELECT
	ENDSUB

	SUB bf_update:
		self.START.anim()
		self.TRANSFORM.anim()
		self.BLINK.anim()
		self.FROWN.anim()
		self.HUGE.anim()
	ENDSUB

ENDTYPE

Types can contain functions, but types can NOT contain subs. Just change your subs to functions, maybe that solves your problem?

DOH! Thanks; that was my issue.
