Boss help

[WAAAAAA]

wow it crashed in debug mode and debug didnt pick it up and a red bar came up outline in white and that not in my coding at all lol

[WAAAAAA]

how could u use types on a mass scale? like if u had all these enemies as types how would u handle movement for each one? bliztbasic has an for each command sorta thing happening....

[Kitty Hello]

you mean  a "for each ... in ..." command? Does not exist. What is the Blitz way. I might implement it.

[WAAAAAA]

its for types specifically blizt has soem nice stuff on it
For EnemyShips.Ship = Each Ship
   EnemyShips\iX = EnemyShips\iX + iDirectionX
   EnemyShips\iY = EnemyShips\iY + iDirectionY
Next

[Kitty Hello]

OK. "FOR EACH" is a nice method. I'll implement it some day.
For now you do:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

LOCAL es AS EnemyShip
FOR i=0 TO BOUNDS(EnemyShips.Ship[], 0) -1
   // Get that thing
   es = EnemyShips[i]
  // change data of es.xxx
  // ...
  // put es pack into the array:
  EnemyShip[i] = es
NEXTIt's a bit awkard, since TYPEs are new in GLBasic. I'll fix that.

[WAAAAAA]

yea i dont get it

[WAAAAAA]

format$ doesnt work? atleast the help file version all it does is cut down how many numbers are after the decimal

[WAAAAAA]

i think i found an easier way
CHR$()

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

TYPE THING
x;y
ENDTYPE
FOR i=0 to BOUNDS(num_things,0)
x=CHR$(i+64)
x.thing=x.thing+1
NEXTreckon it will work?

[WAAAAAA]

coz u cant use numbers as types so u cant just go FOR TO

[WAAAAAA]

lol

nvm i think i see problem i dunno how to fix but

[Kitty Hello]

The FORMAT$ function goes: FORMAT$(minimum_number_of_characters, number_of_digits_after_the_comma, the_number_to_format);

the BOUNDS function takes an array as first argument. To pass an array, you must specify the name, followed by a [ ] like:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

DIM arr[5]
FOR i=0 TO BOUNDS( arr[], 0 )
   PRINT arr[i], 0, i*20
NEXTWorking with types as a beginner might be frustrating, since the precompiler errors are not covering all problems. As said - it's very new in GLBasic. If you keep the syntax, it works perfectly, if not, you might get into trouble.

Please, do post source code that gives the error, not just the smallest potion of it.

The error basically starts with:
In function "CreatePlayer", you used a member variable called ".x", which does not exist in the type you are using.

You got my mail? Send me the code, I'll fix it for you.

FUNCTION Create_player:
