I cannot find documentation for the TYPE command (or ENDTYPE for that matter) in the DBPro Help section. The command is used in the BouncingBalls demo.

Am I blind? Or is this a third party command?

Can I use TYPE to define an opponent´s stats in an RPG and later bring on a dozen of opponents just by referring to the TYPE name and an index number?

Sorry for being this dumb.

TYPE is built-in.

Open up the help main menu, click on 'PRINCIPLES', then on 'Datatypes and variables' and then scroll down to the section 'USER DEFINED TYPES'.

Just type type or endtype into dbpro, and then press F1?

The F1 button is every bit as useful as the F5 button IMO

Yep, and with IanM's utilities, you can save type arrays to a file. A great way to save your game state if you have everything in UDTs.
