I don't like to use gosub so I only use functions, it keeps my code more readable for me. I also use the blue IDE editor so I'm working with multiple files. The thing is I want to have "public" variables, meaning I want 1 file with for example all the objects declared + their number assigned.

Then I want to be able to use these variables in all my functions spread over all the other files in the project.

Now for some reason this isn't working, is this because I'm using functions instead of sub's or?

This is probably a stupid Q, but I'm new to DB

I do a very similar thing ..

I have a file called globals.dba and in there are all my object offset numbers, counters, limits, ingame options etc ..



At the very start of my main file (the first one created) I just have a set of gosubs. I too prefer the look of functions to gosubs, but I think gosubs suit global definitions better...



Hope this helps

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.

Basically you just need to use the GLOBAL keyword. This applies to arrays as well as other variables.
