Opps forgot i wnated to ask another question. IM curious about the best way to make a standard object type. What i mean by this is how to get multiple copies of the same thing.

Examples: Units in a strategy game, bullets in anything, opponents(AI) in a fps.

Currently i just use for-next commands. so what i do for a bullet is:
(b=the bullet)
for b= 20 to 100
move object b,1
next b
is this the only weay to do it? . Right now it seems abit incoveinint if i wanted to use this system for my oppents.

a type with an array or a typed array is the best way in DBP so far to manage multiples of the same thing

sorry nevermind i found my answer
Yep, in DBP there is a form of a database called TYPES, they can be used like this...

Type CharacterStats
Name as STRING
Class as STRING
Health as INTEGER
Strength as INTEGER
EndType

Dim MainCharStats(1) AS CharacterStats
MainCharStats(1).Name = "Cloud"
MainCharStats(1).Class = "Fighter"
MainCharStats(1).Health = 200
MainCharStats(1).Strength = 5
