For arrays need to use this "#" or this "$" after the name.

Liks this:

Dim dario's_stats_values$(5)
Dim monster_groups$(4,3)

or

Dim dario's_stats_values#(5)
Dim monster_groups#(4,3)

In your case need the second one,because you are using numbers

I hope this helps

hmm but thats what i did.

Dim dario's_stats_display$(5)

I thought it was like an ordinary variable declaring but with dim and the parenthesis,if you want to declare a string array you use the $, if you want to declare a real number array you use # and for regular integer you use nothing right?

These are the different types of arrays and variables in DBC:

variable - this is an integer variable, a whole number (0,1,-2)
variable# - this is a float variable, a decimal (0.0,1.2457,-3.14159)
string$ - this is a string, a text variable ("Word")

All of these can become arrays:

dim variable(10)
dim variable#(10)
dim string$(10)

When you define strings, use quotations, like this:
string$="You put words in strings"

I hope I was of some help...
