Hi my friends ,

:o) I have a little strange error , but there is no error in the code.




The code above is correct but when I compile , I am taking a
Declaration is not valid at line 5

I don't have an error , I just call the type initialize from a function.

assume the string <----- THE ERROR INDICATES HERE IN COMPILER is not exist in the code , I just put it here to indicate where the error highlights.

Where is the problem? is this a bug?

Help file says UDT's must be declared at the begin of your code.

You can't declare a type inside a function.

If you want to do something like that, best to make a sub-routine anyway. Functions should be reserved for things where a segment of code requires a dynamic variable or performs a task to return a specific value.

You need to check what's functions are used for and what's not good or fit for.Then you aren't gonna have stupid errors like this.I recommend reading some tutorials, clearing stuff and etc.Best regards!

If I use #include command ,on top of my program , I will able to initialize global types for my game without need to call a function.



Thank you very much....

BTW, if your code doesn't compile, it usually means you have errors,
so it's best not to say you have no errors.
Good Luck

use "waitkey" once above, and once under the code you think is messed up.

BEST idea would be to download the Indigo IDE.

It PAWNS the dbpro editor

If the above doesn't allow you to download it, click:

@Mugen Wizardry
Thank you for the new IDE , I will try it.

@BillR
My code doesn't have errors. I will try and the other option to put all my source code in one huge single file.

It have to be , about . I am using separate files...
For example . all variables and types , are in separate file and might the compiler doesn't recognize them.

But is not good idea to have one single huge source code file...
