Hi,
when I DIM an array with a custom type in an #include(d) file then try and access it from the main source I get the following error:

Array 'jobs' subscripts must match corresponding DIM statement on line 32

The #include is a gosub to

+ Code Snippet

    type job
        walkrange
        maxhealth
    endtype

    dim jobs[10] as job
    jobs[1].walkrange = 3

And the main.agc line that spits the error is

+ Code Snippet

message(str(jobs[1].walkrange))

I don't know if this is a bug or my own failings.

Many thanks

Where in your main code is the #include line? It has to be above the point in the program where you make use of what it creates. Preferably at the top before anything else.

Yeah its right at the top just after resolution setting etc

+ Code Snippet

SetDisplayAspect( 4.0/3.0 )
SetVirtualResolution ( 640, 480 )

#include "func_blocks.agc"
#include "jobs.agc"

Then I load media then I gosub to the #include

So your included file would be like,

+ Code Snippet

VarSetup:
   type this_and_that
      a as integer
      b as integer
   endtype

  dim Those[10] as this_and_that
return

and in your main you have,

+ Code Snippet

#include "vars.agc"

Gosub VarSetup

Those[1].a = 1
Those[1].b = 2
print("There are those "+str(Those[1].a)+" and there are these "+str(Those[1].b)+".")

I would think that would work.

yeah thats basically it. At first I thought it was because I was accessing it from within a function (as arrays are global) but even outside the function a in your example still same error.

The immediate solution is to put the DIM in the main file.

Yeah thats what I've done. I'm also getting weird "array subscript errors" popping up being reported on lines the code isnt and when the the array is perfectly fine - i.e. used with no difference earlier or later in the code.

Are arrays currently buggy?

Inside includes perhaps. Otherwise, no, at least not that I've seen.
