What does it mean when there is a boolean in a type array? In an rpg, could there be status ailments in type array and would they be integers, booleans, or whatever else? The status ailment will make the chracter act a certain way. I'm just trying to understand.

If there's a boolean in a type array then it can be set to true or false, and you can make whatever you want happen.

Chances are you could put an Integer type into an array (or 'user defined type' if you have DBPro).

Then, those numbers should represent specific ailments.

For example:
1 = Blindness
2 = Sleep
3 = Poison
4 = Stone

Those are integers, and you COULD make it so that...
53 = Blindness
3772 = Sleep
2 = Poison
-99 = Stone

You choose the numbers yourself, but it's what those numbers mean that's important.



Or, to make it tidier (and easier to keep up to date with) use a Select/Case statement. But 'IF's are ok if that's all you're used to.
