High using dbpro.
making a simple text bases editor to make it easier to set up a map

I don't know how to use an array but im pretty sure that's what i need for this.

need to be able to store texture data or texture name
and the new object name assigned or just the object num i guess

basic example

if mousex()<10 and mousey >1000 and mouseclick()=1
print "rename object"+str$(pick object mouse()x,mousey(),1,400)
input= newobjname$
when enter is presses i need it to throw the new object name into a array and other object data object name$+texturenum+objnum
so next time i click on an object i can pull out the name of it and the texture ect

What you need is a user defined type array. First declare the user defined type.



Since this is for a 3D Editor, you may want to be able to add and delete objects. For this the array will need to be dynamic. Next dimension an empty array of your user defined type. DBPro has a whole set of functions to add and delete array elements.



The down side to this is you will need to write functions to access the array index to the values needed. This function will return the necessary index using the object number.



If you need any more help, don’t hesitate to ask.
