I know everyone must be hating my code abilities by now. But i tried converting my code for handling 100 baddies (not all at once) so i put in 3 arrays, ONe for the bad guy sprite number, one for the bad guy y position, and one for the bad guy x position. So i took a good bit of time and looked through, fixed a couple 'ha error messagaes, and then i got this strange parameter mismatch one. Hmm i thought: wonder what this means.Those parameters look fine to me. So i skimmed my code for other errors, and eventually figured out that i don't really know what the blazes i'm looking for. I was searching for something i'd done wrong, a space in the wrong place, but i can't find one. So if anyone's feeling REALLY patient, then you can try out my code and see if you can help e with it now. By the way, this is my Ad. Higher Computing project, and i'm a newb. So that's why i'm a) desperate to get this working and b) such a dumbass with dark basic pro. Anyway anyone who can hear my plea: help! help me please!

PS: Thanks for all ur help so far, ur a great community.

Line 226:

If Sprite exist BadguyNumber = 1

should read:

If Sprite exist(BadguyNumber) = 1

and that does it for me, compiles perfectly!

I HATE your code!!! just kidding...

I usually find it easier to make everything into a function though. Like where you have "shooting function" have that be a function.

This won't make a difference really, but I find it easier to work with. Instead of having 3 seperate arrays, just make a 2 dimensional array. youArray(100,3)

youArray(1,1) = sprite number
youArray(1,2) = X pos
youArray(1,3) = Y pos

Yeah, i'm still messing aroung with the code right now. I'm not quite sure where everything goes but i'm working it to make sure the data that needs compiled for the other equations goes before them in the code. Functions? Havn't come across them yet. Anyone got a sec to explain them to me? 2 Dimentional arrays? Thought about them. They seemed very complicated, but i'll experiment with them, you're probable right. Thanks BatVink i guessed it would be something small. Well i'll keep you posted, there is a %120 chance i'll mess this up again, so keep ur eyes peeled. thanks!

I got it working again...ignore the baddie problems i can fix that myself. What i'm worried about is the speed. It has a framrate of 81, apparently-but moves really slow, it flamin crawls. Something's wrong in the code, methinks... - DivW
