Why is there no code in the add_to_particles_array function?

[Kitty Hello]

it's returning a TYPE by reference. That's bad in your case, faster in most others. I'll have to fix it.
So far, make a LOCAL for the return value of add_to_particle_array, and pass this to the function.

[bigsofty]

Because it irrelevant to the error I'm afraid.

Code there or not, the error revolves around functions returning types in this situation.

OK, Ill add, add that bit of code for now Gernot, thanks for looking into it.

[Kitty Hello]

Oh dear. I'm not sure if I can get this working at all. That would require a whole lot of work. However, you get a better error message now.

[bigsofty]

OK Gernot, thanks for giving it a go and its easy to work around.

Now get to bed its late!
