Failed to AddVariable:Type==Null.
What's that? It seemed to only happen after I installed patch 3.

Can't compile what - anything or just your own code?

Cheers,

My code that compiled under patch 2. It seems like there's a problem with UDTs inside functions --which is pretty much throughout my program.

For example this code should just make a cube and rotate it using a defined data type called "thing" containing the object number and angle. It gives me that same Failed to AddVariable error...

It doesn't matter if it's an array or not. The problem happens when it occurs inside a function --and the problem didn't happen in patch 2, so it must be a bug.

Sounds like they are running around like lunatics trying to solve the problem.

I think I found another bug (my fault in first place)
SYNC RATE 0
SYNC ON
...do some complex 2D things on screen ...
SYNC

The SYNC does not refresh the screen, only after SYNC OFF I was again able to see anything refreshed on screen. Hope, I d not need to send a 5 Meg compilat (EXE=Compilat) again to Lee and this bug can be reproduced easy.
Okay, now after I know why my prog freezes, I can again make a workaround.
Patch 3 is still much better bug-wise than Patch 2, thanks to Lee for the efforts, and for fixing this array-Memory bug.

Have you re-read the help file on the INC and DEC commands since installing patch 3?

It says either: "You cannot INC an array or type variable." or "You cannot DEC an array or type variable."

Oh realy? then explain this!



Should display 3 and 8.

Note however, considering patch 3's problems this will not work inside a function!

....I realy hope they don't intend to drop the ability to use UDT variable and arrays this way in future because it's a very flexable way of using them.
