I have an array

dim enemy(100) as CharType

which is in a function called before anything else

I then have a declaration

enemy(nextEnemy - 202).ID = enemyType(enemyType).ID

(nextEnemy ranges from 201 to 300)

which comes up with the error message

"Runtime Error 118 - Array does not exist or array subscript out of bounds ..."

I tried putting global before the dim declaration but there was no change...

any help?

Ok, now read what you typed again...

nextEnemy ranges from 201 to 300, but you subtract 202 when accessing the array ... 201-202 = -1, and -1 is out of bounds.

What is enemyType set to? It's on the same line, so it could be the problem, too.

Code?

I have no problem commenting on code that I can see, but I'm not going to do so for code I can't.

I was wondering that too, as the array is
Quote: "dim enemy(100) as CharType"
and your calling Enemytype?

I don't know too much about arrays but to me that seemed a bit unusual, i could be wrong

I think the chartype is for individual characters, and the enemy type for a ground of characters of the same type.
