does this mean i can't use DWORDs in UDTs?...

if not then what does it mean...i'm thinking about upgrading to 5.5 but i don't want to mess up my current project...

I haven't noticed any changes with dwords. It might only matter if you're making plugins.

Very odd. I was playing with someone elses code the other day that produces that very error. It had all sorts of dwords, arrays and types in it. Trouble is I can't rememember where I saw it!

Whatever I try and do now it works perfectly.

I'll keep on searching...

In 5.4 notes:

Quote: "Added compiler checking to only allow INTEGER or DWORD subscripts for array access"


In 5.5 notes:

Quote: "DWORDs are no longer accepted in the compiler as subscripts and must be integer values"

i think i know what it's saying...

in this code...

it would give a error because you used "color" as a subscript of player()...and color is a dword...


if this is true then i should keep what i have because i use dwords in my UDT arrays...

Why do you use dwords over integers?

Yes, but your code Peter_H works perfectly in 5.5 so dwords ARE allowed as subscripts, in arrays and in types. So what is the release note for 5.5 referring to???

I believe it's refering the array index. So this probably wouldn't work. Give it a try, as I dont have the upgrade:

uuummmm....this code?
i don't have 5.5...so i was just making a guess...

Quote: "Why do you use dwords over integers?"

because i use the "point" command which returns a dword...

@Fallout - That code also works in 5.5. I have tried all combinations as far as I know of using dwords in arrays and types and I can't get anything to crash. Maybe someone 'in the know' can explain further.
