I get this error when trying to apply data to my array using the following line of code

player(myplayerNum).angle = object angle y(myplayerNum)

the array is made and set to global so I know this isnt an issue.

the angle is refferenced as a float in my variables so Im not sure why its not letting me add the data to it. Unless I maybe need to truncate it down because there are too many digits after the decimal point?

Thanks in advance.

What datatype is myplayerNum? If the error your receiving is what you've put in the title, it sounds like the problem is that it's not an integer or a dword. The problem shouldn't be the datatype of the angle.

Does this work?

thanks Lucas this worked. Not sure why I have to trick it into doing that I would have thought my way would have worked but until I either read why or someone can give me a laymans explanation why my version didnt work and yours did this will have to do,

Thanks Again

oh yes to answer the question myplayerNum is defined as an integer and this particular code is grabbing the player number designated by the connection code to alter the stored variables so that it can *push* it back to the server after movement is completed

That's what IanM just did.
Your myplayerNum variable is not an integer or dword.

sorry scraggle in laymans ie simple terms with a bit of explanation. its saying myplayerNum was not an integer or a dword..

as far as I was aware myplayerNum was an integer as it couldnt have been anything else *designated player number by the server* and I dont know what the dword actually is...

Why not? Where else have you used or declared that variable?
