Do functions accept UDTs?

Can functions return UDTs?

Thanks Lee.

Maybe you can help me with the following chunk of code then. It compiles without error, but the exe stops working (windows message) when I compile, run and broadcast.

type playerType
name$
score
endtype

player1 as playerType

player1.name$ = "Bob"
player1.score = 100

do
showPlayer(player1)
sync()
loop

function showPlayer(player as playerType)
print(player.name$)
print(player.score)
endfunction

I've had the same problem DrT, I've reported it in here:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=188136&b=41

But you should do also

However, returning a UDT from a function works fine!

And even more simpler, this crashes too:

type playerType
score
endtype
player1 as playerType
player1.score = 100
do
showPlayer(player1)
sync()
loop
function showPlayer(player as playerType)
print(player.score)
endfunction

Will deal for the next build, thanks.

I define a UDT with a string field. I then set this field in a function and return the UDT. The returned UDT now has an empty string field. Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?

I can confirm this as a bug in 1.0.3.6. I will see what I can do about a good bug reporting system to capture these. Watch this space!
