There doesn't appear to be a VECTOR EXISTS() command. Is there another way to identify a free vector? This is the code I'm using for other objects:

+ Code Snippet

Function freeSprite()
   Repeat
      Inc i
   Until Sprite Exist(i) = 0
EndFunction i

I posted this in Bug Reports once. I don't know what happened to it

, so I have to agree, it is quite annoying not being able to find a free vector.

There are work arounds however. Had I been able to find free vectors I would've just used them, but otherwise they just mess up my code, so I make my own vectors, i.e. These are the only two vector commands I had for my physics library, I guess I could expand them easily though.

+ Code Snippet

type vec3
x as float
y as float
z as float
endtype
dim kxvec(0) as vec3


function kx_makeVector()
local vec as integer
   array insert at bottom kxvec() : vec=array count(kxvec())
endfunction vec
function kx_setVector(vec,x as float, y as float, z as float)
   kxcontvec=vec
   kxvec(vec).x=x
   kxvec(vec).y=y
   kxvec(vec).z=z
endfunction

And basically work it like this:

+ Code Snippet

vec1=kx_makeVector()
kx_setVector(vec1,100,-100,32.5)

Easy Peasy.
