I'd like to do (something like) the following:

baseType$ = "enemy" (instantiate a local string variable)

and then use it to construct a statement like:

baseType$.inflictedDamage = 100

given the following TypeDef:




Is anything like this possible in AppGameKit?

So the 'enemy' would be treated as an actual variable?

No I'm afraid, you can't add a variable at runtime, all you could do is have a bank of variables ready to be used up, like an array of _enemy.

ProfVersaggi, the answer to your original question is "No, not possible in AppGameKit Tier 1".
