Is there a command that lets you tell what texture was used to texture an object. I am writing a simple game to help me learn DarkBasic Pro. I already have the game board up with all the pieces able to be placed and I am working on the logic to determine when you have won.

I could create a data structure that mimics the state of the playing pieces but the playing pieces themselves would be enough info if I could get the current texture number. I am only using two textures for the game pieces. The playing pieces are numbered 1 through 64 and the number that they are also reflects where they are. If they are not hidden then they are valid pieces and I would like to loop through all the unhidden pieces and determine their current state.

Thanks,

There is no command but why not just have objects 1-32 for player 1 and 33-64 for player 2. Easy, then the the object number gives away what player it is for. Also, use 'object visible' command to determine if object is hidden or not.

I think what he wants is a simple way to count the types of each object - maybe for a version of othello/reversi?

I'm afraid that you'll need to keep track yourself

The object numbers are reflective of the position that they are in, so I can't group them 1-32 and 33 to 64.

I can keep an array and just store a 1 or 2 for which player the object belongs to, it just seemed redundant. If there was a way to retrieve that information without duplicating it then I would have used that instead.
