I am trying to make a program for my own program library that creates stats such as those used in a Role Playing Game. Unfortunatly there is a built in perameter that does not allow me to use global variables in my functions. Is there a way around this? (Arrays do not work).

Did you try memblocks?

The best way got passing values to Multiplayer/function in DBC i think.

Toughest line of code

col$=asc(left(Pcol$)),1+str$(rev)+chr(80)+left(right(mid(name$),1),1)

since I don't know exactly what you are trying to do, I'll make stuff up. My theory is that you want to pass a global value representing the players level into a function but you can't striaght to that. So we have to pass the global value into the array via a parameter and return a value into another global like so

+ Code Snippet

level = 2
globalHP=HPstat(level)
DO
   print globalHP
loop

function HPstat(x)
  HP = x*10
endfunction HP

...that move was indeed...Bold.

Store your walues in arrays, they sure work. They will aply both inside and outside of function:

dim myvalues(20,20)

do
changevalues
loop

function changevalues()

for a to 20
for b to 20
myvalue(a,b)=myvalue(a,b)+2
next b
next a

endfunction

I am always using arrays to move multiple values out of function. I am using DB113 by the way.
