Hi

Im trying to do like a lookup type thing for an inventory im making.

So far i've got:

dim got_items() as string

type UnitType
itemName$ as string
endtype

dim global_items(5) as UnitType

`this works but i want to loop it

item1 = val(got_items(0))
print global_items(item1).itemName$


-I have no problems putting items into either array, for ex:
global_items(0).itemName$ = "Zero item"
global_items(1).itemName$ = "Blunt Sword"


and: I am filling my array of got_items from a file ok.

But now i want to run through the outputs in a loop:
item1 = val(got_items(0))
print global_items(item1).itemName$

i've tried putting that in a loop and changing the values to the value of the for-next loop but it always errors out.

Does anyone know what im getting at?

ok so that works but thats in a nice clean project but not in my cluttered one.
great.

sorry i've answered myself again.
Gah.
!

Paul08 if you are going to use zero in your for next loop you will end up with three items in your list not two like you are after.

eg
item = got_items(0)
item = got_items(1)
item = got_items(2)

hope that helps for later on in your coding.

cheers.

Yeah im quite good with arrays (if nothing else) but cheers for that!
