Hi there. In my code, i setup an array with a few TYPEs in it, such as:
object(num).texture
object(num).texscale

etc

This works fine in my code and everythings hunky dory until i added a simple save routine which basically writes all the associated things to do with the blocks into a file. Everything works, until i try and use the array with type to refer to a variable.

So, in other words, using : write file 1,object position x(num)
works fine.

But, using : write file 1,object(num).texture
dont.

Even copying the contents to another variable first dont work, such as : tex=object(num).texture
then : write file 1,tex

If i then look at whats saved, instead of being say 2 or 20, it ends up about 18025353!

I think its to do with it recording the pointer rather than the value?

Found it mate, the problem actually lay with the `texture` command. My code was writing to disk and rereading it properly, its just later on, when things got textured that it went tits up.

Texture object 4,selectedcube(cubenumber).texture
wouldnt work for example. Doesnt send the actual value held in the variable. Pretty sure its sending the pointer instead.
Took me ages to trawl thru me code too! Ah well, least its sorted now...

Gonna tell Rich about this, dunno if they know bout it yet.

Thanks for your help though mate
