this function seems fine to me and I cant see a problem with it, but DB (classic) is giving me hell



DB gives me this:
Parameter Mismatch. Array must have a subscript and an assignment value

How did you set the array? Has it only got one dimension?

you need to change that line to aroll$(z) = str$(E)

that should sort your problem

sorry about that, i seem to have a tendenicey to forget words (or my keyboard is messed up)

that is what i asked, so thanks.
but now this other related bit of code isent working:


as you can probaly guess, this takes the result from abroll() and prints them at certain places on the screen, the syntax check show notheing wrong but when the program runs the numbers (from abroll()) do not appear. what could be wrong?

Aroll$(A)...
Is that meant to be Aroll$(A) or Abroll$(A)??

That could be your problem, also, what is in the function ABROLL()?? that might be having an effect on the output.

Hope I Helped...
Jess.

actully i just got it sorta working on my own about 5 minutes ago, but thanks anyway

however, I seem to need to get the NEXT A and NEXT B statment to happen at the same time. the program now takes the random number (from ABROLL()) and places to in all 6 places on the screen, then it does the same with the number. What i need is to make the first number in the first spot, the second number in the second spot, and so on.

Alright, you need to change the Y position of the text, as, at the moment you have it continually set to 2, try changing this line;



To;



As that will print each line of numbers down the screen in lots of 20 pixels at a time.

Hope I Helped...
Jess.

So what you want is to print 6 of the numbers, then wait for, say, a keypress, then print the next six numbers?

Well, to do that try;



( That code should run stand alone )

And hopefully that solves your problem?
