Is it possible to copy a varibale defined by a type into another variable with the same type by just doing this:

type test
a as integer
b as integer
endtype

dim orig[10] as test
dim copy[10] as test

copy[1]=orig[1]

Yes, that's what I figured. Very nasty when a type as over 50 variables...

I think your original syntax, "copy[1]=orig[1]", will work.

Pretty sure it does also, but i don't recall if it is a shallow or deep copy

It also resulted in a massive memory leak in dbpro when the type contained strings, not sure if that is an issue in agk or not

It will make a copy of orig[1] and assign that to copy[1]
So if you change orig[1] afterwards it wont change copy[1]

As an aside i found out the other day, if you want to assign different types with common values you can use json like so;



I thought it would be super handy if the scene editor used typed arrays. That way you could easily populate your own arrays with the values from the scene editor arrays

Not sure why it didn't work the first time, but it does now. Great tips here too, thanks!
