Orion Pax	Is it possible to use a dimmed array variable within a type in blitz3d? And if so how about an example of how to use it and assign values to it.

power mousey	so no hard feelings..... Type KAT Field snacks:String[] Field age:Int=15 End Type 'main program Local text1:String Local x:Int Local kitty:KAT kitty=New KAT kitty.snacks=New String[3] kitty.snacks=["meow Mix", "Purina Cat Chow", "Lots of Birds"] text1="And here are the snacks: " Graphics 640,480,0 SetClsColor 10,10,250 Cls DrawText "The cats age is: "+ kitty.age, 10, 25 DrawText text1, 10,50 For x=0 To 2 DrawText kitty.snacks[x], 10, 70+(20*x) Next Flip Delay 10 Repeat Until KeyDown(key_escape) End --v it was done in BlitzMax but can be modified with ease of changing a command or two. um...that Drawtext into Text for instance, since you use Blitz 3d.

mike_g	Yes, its possible to have an array inside a type in Blitz3D. you have to use box brackets though and you don't declare it as a dim. Example: Type thing Field array[10] End Type t.thing = New thing For i = 1 To 10 t\array[i] = i*5 Next For i = 1 To 10 Print t\array[i] Next WaitKey --v Also, arrays inside types can only be one dimensional.

Orion Pax	Thanks guys. Its been a couple of years since I have done any real work on blitz. I have been trying on and off but havent had time until now. I have the time and the motivation now more than ever to do my game. My pc has been a real pain the a$$ as well. Video card died, then my pc starts to overheat. Didnt think anything of it and kept using it. My harddrive dies. I buy a new harddrive and install it...and my powersupply dies at that moment. So i had to get a new one of those too. Still havent got a video card yet. I ordered one but I got the wrong type. Its pci express and mine doesnt use express....oh well.
