I'm trying to create a vector type in db classic. It looks like it's right to me. I know... I know... they aren't realy types and all that. I've read, I know people think they suck, and I've decided to try to use them anyway.

So now that we are in agreement that what I'm doing is probably not popular...

Can someone take a look at this and tell me where I went wrong? I get an error @ dimtype vector,v.

Type Vector
X#,Y#,Z#
EndType

firstly you have to declare these as a float or string or integer

eg:

X# as float etc...



Function vMake_Vector(x#,y#,z#)
DimType Vector,v
v.X# = x#
v.Y# = y#
v.Z# = z#
EndFunction v


this array created in this function is local to thie function only
to create it as a typed array you need to use a line just under your type declaration

eg:

dim MOON(3) as MOON

then you may need to fill the data here or later on.

eg:

MOON(1).NUM = 1
MOON(1).NAME = "Havendoor"
MOON(1).ALIGNMENT = 1
MOON(1).ROTATION = 1





btw types only work in DBC with an alternative editor called DARKEDIT, it however cascades the types back into arrays for final usage and compiling.

DBP has native type access
