I`m having a problem saving an array in my code

the array is defined as :


and I try to save it as follows


but DB gives this error message :

#100008: Parameter for `SAVE ARRAY` do not match `Filename,ArrayName(0) at line 182


but I cant see anything wrong with it, I`ve also compared it to some older code that I have done in DBClassic, which works fine! :-s

any ideas ?

First off, your using a reserved word as a value in your dim statement.

Secondly are mapx and mapyz defined ?

Thirdly do you have patch 4 ?

Lastly, the following works (ie something is saved) :

Thanks,

ok, I altered `type` to `_type`, but within the array brackets, the word type wasnt recognised as a command.
mapx & z are all defined ( mapx&mapz = 128, _type=4 )
and no, I dont currently have patch 4, but your code works fine in myDB, so its not an update problem.

But if you have used the same line as I have, I dont understand the problem ?

I`ll have a play, but any more suggestions.... TIA

yes, that works too ?????

ok, time to admit, that theres probably something else in my code that is the problem, but why would it come yp with an erroe telling me that I have got the format wrong for the save array line?

I`ve changes the save to save the `objects` array, instead of the `sector` array, that worked : but when changed back, it didnt work

I`ve renamed sector to `test_array`,(just the dim array line & the save line - nothing else ) that worked, so I renamed it back, to sector, and it woks fine!?!?!??!??!??

thats one of the strangest things I have see in DB lol
I only renamed it, and then back to the orignal name, then it works!?!? LOLOLOLO x-d

ok, save works now for some unknown reason :

save array "c:\sector.map",sectors(0)

but whats wrong with load ? I get the same error, saying that I`ve not typed the line correctly ?

load array "c:\sector.map",sectors(0)
???

could you say make a type array...

type xxx
one as string
two as byte
three as float
endtype

dim yyy(10) as xxx

could you then save the array????

No, unfortunately you can't save an array of types using 'save array'. Nothing to stop you writing the code yourself though
