What is the data type of a handle

[stevenwu]

Hello
I can get a sprite handle using createSprite

playerSpr = createSprite()

or a image handle using loadImage

playerImg = loadImage( "Untied Games/Player ships", false )

Is the playerSpr an int? Can I use it in a struct like this?

Struct hero
    int sprite
    int image
Endstruct

@stevenwu Yes you can do that. However as you are using sprites you can take advantage of the fact that sprites have properties and that you can also define your own.

so if you do

playerSpr = createSprite()

You can access the sprite image using

playerSpr.image

And if you want to create a property you just assign it

playerSpr.hitpoints = 10

See here for a list of built in properties https://fuzearena.com/forum/topic/521/sprite-properties
