Heres the deal... in my game im going to use some monsters. All of them are going to have the same basic attributes. Like health points strength stamina speed and so on. In c++ you can do this with objects, structs and classes. My question is can you do the same thing in darkbasic? Is there a such thing as classes?

If i know c++ why do i use darkbasic you may ask... well... i know c++ but not directx ...

Thanks in advance.

You could create a User Defined Type, and then make an array of that type...

TYPE Monster
health as integer
stamina as integer
speed# as float
ENDTYPE

Dim Monsters(10) as Monster

why are you still using # and $ with DBP ?!
When you write "as float", you don't need anymore to put the #, and your code is cleaner without it
