Any plans to allow arrays in UDTs?
I opened the case to my PC today and thought, my exhaust fan sucks.

if you are refering to eg: Player(1).HitPoints ,
then thats apart of DBP now and they can be fed into function parameters unlike standard universal data types.

He means this:

type MyType
stuff(10) as integer
endtype

Lee did say in one of his diary entries that now he has strings working correctly in types, this could become easier to implement ... no timescales were given though.

Hmm... so any bright ideas to simulate something like an array in types? For instance, I had a spaceship type, which I need to keep prerecord the limb number of all the turrets on the shop so that I can manipulate them easily later without having to walk thru the limb list again (waste of time CPU cycle).

I found that it is hard to design my code without array in type for this case.

Oh, BTW, the number of turrets on the ship can be varied. Thus the following doesn't work,

type SpaceShip
turretA as integer,
turretB as integer
turretC as integer
turretD as integer
endtype

In that case you could use a linked list.

Just use a parallel array:

Brilliant, IanM! Way to go! It's so simple but I don't know why I didn't think of it. That construct is the closest resembles to what I want as array in a type. Thanks! I love you man!

Still thinking any flaw in this method though....
