is it possible to either:

1.) change a text array into a normal array

or 2.) add a # to a text array

I need to add #'s to my items for example:

Item$(0)="sword"
Item_no$(0)="1"

is there a way to increase Item_no$(0), I need it as a text array also. Plese help

Use a type instead of lots of arrays, it will make your life so much easier.

type items
item_name AS STRING
item_number AS INT
etc
endtype

if you require several types in a single array then simply use it as a string array



however you'll have to remember that its in string form and when you call it do so like

darkedit has types for DBC users that get converted back to arrays for actual dbc usage.

Thanks for all your help, but got another problem:

I used ravens way, now I have it so if I press spacebar the string is increased, the problem is i need a variablefor my string so its like this:

if spacekey()=1 then Item$(0,1)=str$(X+1)

were X= the # I had before I changed, and after I add that one, i need that to become the new X.
