First of I'm gonna start with the now-useal rant about the need for a search functionality on the forums Probably gonna join the "edit" camp too, as soon as I make my first posting error

Now that's out of the way, on to the question:

What are the limitations of include files inthe current version of DBPro?

I'm trying to separate my retro gaming competition code into files (AI code into one, collectibles code into one etc) and am having a really hard time doing it. Types declared in one file don't work in another, same with globals (aren't global except on the main file) and so on......

Am I missing something or are these just limitations of DBPro?

The only problems that I have had recently is with arrays defined within included files. Everything else seems to work OK for me.

Put the Array defines in a sub like:

Init_vars:
Global blabla
BlaBla=100

Dim ABC(1000)
Return

and call this as your first statement in your source then these declarations also work within include files ...

Thats what I do, but I've reported it as a bug to lee anyway. If you can define an array outside of a function in an included file then it should be usable.

This is, I believe, on the fix list for Patch 4.

NOBODY has a forum name as stupid as Darth Shader. I do.

Nope. I know for a fact it isn't fixed. I'm on DBDN.
