Hi all I reacently got the darkbasic professional trial to see if I liked it enough to purchase. I was working through the huge dungeon tutorial and I have a problem with the code that I can not figure out. The error I am getting from typing in the code is: Parameters for Int do not match value at line 106.

I have checked and doulbe checked my typing and the code listed in the pdf file.

line 106 which is highlighted:

if map$=(int(curposx),int(curposz))="#" or

Any information would be appreciated

I don't have the Dungeon Tuorial in front of me, nor am I familiar with it. But I would assume the code is suppose to be

if map$(int(curposx),int(cursposz))="#" or

the two equals signs in the line you posted surely would cause an error. I believe that the code must set up a 2-dimensional array called map$. Dim map$(xsize,ysize). It then probably reads in map data. In the line you posted it's probably tring to check and compare the characters <current position> with the maps data.

Hence, If map$(xpos,zpos)="#" or
where: xpos=int(curposx)
zpos=int(curzpos)

You cut off the rest of the line so I don't know what the or condition contains.

that line doesn`t make sense, try

if map$="#"

looks like a typo or something corrupted in the pdf, it could also be

if map$(int(curposx(),int(curposy())="#"

but a line like you show doesn`t make sense to man nor machine, these I posted are just guesses, do they have any finished example of the code you could check it against?

Thank you very much

I changed it to if map$(int(curposx),int(curposz))="#" or
and it moved along

now i get this error: could not determine parameter type of "#" at line 106

again this is how it is listed in the pdf. From what I understand the program is using the map$ array to read in characters and this first one we are checking for the # character
so i am kind of lost on why i'm being told it can not determine the parameter type of "#"

First make sure that you closed of the parenthesis. Try using a space between the = and the last parenthesis and a space between = and the quotaion mark. For some reason it looks like it believes it's a third paramater in map$(x,z,="#")?? which would cause an error like that. I'll try to look at the dungeon tuturial to see if I can spot what is going on. In th meantime make sure that line that dims the array is correct should be something like

dim map$(xsize,zsize)

I'll post back if I can find something.

Thanks I would appreciate it. I have tried it with a space afer the last paranthesis and with a space after the equal sign with the same error.

My dim statement for map$:

mapsize=512
dim map$(mapsize,mapsize)
(as it is written in the pdf)

I looked at the tutorial and the code looks ok.
What happens if you use & compile the source that comes with the zip download instead of typing it yourself from the .pdf. Does it work then? There must be something that is still wrong somewhere. I can't test from my location, but I will try to compile the demo tonight if your still having this issue.

it could be an error on the following or previous line, one error can spill over to another instruction sometimes, it depends on what the compiler thinks it is reading as against what it actualy is reading, try remming out lines (just put "rem" and a space at the start) and see if that allows the compiler to move on, also beware catching the "." key when you meant to type ",", the difference doesn`t show up that well in the editor sometimes and you can`t see the problem for looking so to speak.

hmmm I did as you suggested and compiled the source code that came with the tutorial and it worked fine

so the problem must be a typing error i made somewhere else in the code?

Thanks for the suggestion i will start comparing the tutorial source code to my own typing
