I am new to DBP, only just got it and I have no other experience. I was wondering 2 things:

1: Are there constants in DBP, and how do I set them/use them?

2: This is sort of like arrays, but complicated. What I want is a variable, which stores 18 integers, so it is sort of like an array, but not an array. I messed around with the example in the manual, and that just yielded an error when i tried to run the exe.

1. Yes

Syntax:

#constant NAME VALUE

eg:

#constant NUM 2

do
print NUM
loop

2. Can you explain a bit more clearly?

Thanks for the help on the first bit Rob, I think what would reall y help is if I could understand arrays, they might be what I want, any good tutorial you could direct me to. The bit in the manual doesn't help me.

Sorry, I didn't read one of the tutorials. I thought all of them were 404'd. Turns out all I wanted was a 1D array. Sorry

OK, next question. I am using these arrays to store data. What I am doing is adding an input option. You input which array you want to change the value on, and then which number in it. See the code example. I am wondering if there is another way to do what I want.

The oldvar variable is just to see if it works. I have set it as a number in an array, but it does not access it, because apparently the "addwhat(addtoid)" bit does not work to access it.
