Ok. Perhaps I should put this in the newcommers section but I´m using DBC so I´ll put it here.
How do I remove variables that I no longer need? For example. If I had a menu that gets removed from memory when the main game starts. How do I get rid of the variables that go with it? As far as I can tell there´s no way of removing them.
Thanks your help

You are right, there isn't a way to remove them, but, you CAN remove array's.

so, if you had an array that held all your variables etc, and you no longer needed it, you'd use the UnDim command. Which erases the array from memory.

Hope I Helped...

Wow, that was quick. I normaly have to wait a day or so.
I can´t use arrays as I´ve already finished the code for the main game. I´m working on the menu, single player, optimizing, saving and loading now.
Thanks for your help. I´ll use arrays in the sequel. Along with funtions and dlls and all the other things that a sequel demands.

lol, ok...

What you can do, is simply set all the variables to 0, that way, you are taking up less memory than if they were holding values such as 500 etc...

Hope I Helped...
