Putting an array in a struct.

PickleCatStars

I’m trying to tidy up some code. So instead of having Separate variables ’map1’, ’colourmap1’, ’map1name’, ’map1size’ etc, I want to put them all in a struct. I’m trying this:

struct map
    String name
    Array grid
    Array colourmap
    Int size
    Terrain terrain
Endstruct

When I do this, I get ’syntax error, unexpected array, expecting left bracket’ on line 3.

I’ve tried putting some brackets in and doing various stuff, but I keep on getting syntax errors. How am I supposed to go about this please? Or am I just way off-base..?

@toxibunny It seems to be expecting a size on the array declaration. I am not sure why as arrays are generally dynamic.

struct
    string name
    array grid[8][8]
endstruct

Okay, thanks!

@pianofire so will that be a change soon?

@toxibunny what happens if you declare your stract the short way.

I dunno, I’ve never done it!

petermeisenstein

@toxibunny Try it

Ive tried that before and it seems you can't assign arrays to structs if you do it with clamps. Only with Arrays you've Initialised before.

Sorry to butt in, but with reference to arrays what's a clamp?

waldron

@faz808 I think clamp is a fixed value so you can use it to make a rotation stop at certain angles as one example

pianofire

Yes clamp keeps a value between a maximum and a minimum https://fuzearena.com/help/view/clamp Not sure how this applies to assigning arrays to structs though

You worry about your programming knowledge when you come across a term you've not seen before. I'm from the old school - bits, bytes nibbles, words etc . Love em !
