It looks like there is no way of using type inside type?
Like doing a type with array of other types as one of it's elements?

Thanks,

I use types in types all the time ...

+ Code Snippet

type TVec
 x# as float
 y# as float
 z# as float
endtype

type TPlayer
 position as TVec
 velocity as TVec
 food$ as string
endtype

me as TPlayer : me.vel.x# = 224.0 : me.pos.y# = 312.34

What would be nice would be arrays in types... upgrade 6, anyone?

Can I ask you a Question?
What is it?
It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.

+ Code Snippet

#constant MAX_PLAYERS 16

type IP
   a as byte
   b as byte
   c as byte
   d as byte
endtype

type PLAYER
   name  as string
   login as string
   pass  as string
endtype

type ACTION
   a as boolean
   b as boolean
   c as boolean
   d as boolean
endtype

type PCONTROL
   u as boolean
   d as boolean
   l as boolean
   r as boolean
   a as ACTION
endtype

type PING
   old as integer
   new as integer
   current as integer
endtype

type GAMEPLAYER
   con as IP
   mov as PCONTROL
   ping as PING
   info as PLAYER
endtype

dim sv_player(MAX_PLAYERS) as GAMEPLAYER

i won't bother posting the rest as i don't want it public yet, but essentially thats how you achieve types -> types

then you'd access it by

if sv_player(1).mov.u = TRUE then sv_mov_player(ANGFORWARD,sv_plyr_speed)
