| How do I pass a type in a function? I need to pass the... errr......player number to my function. For example my type is pdata.......player number is p.pdata. How do I set it to player 2 (for example) and send that to the function? function(p) or function(p.pdata) doesn't work. |

| How do I pass a type in a function? 1) Define your custom type (yours is pdata, you said, so...)
Type pdata
Field PlayerName$
End Type
2) Define your function to accept a parameter of pdata type, like this:
Function MyFunction(p.pdata)
; "p" is the pdata-type variable that you pass in
....
End Function
3) Create a new instance of your pdata type and assign it to a variable player1.pdata = New pdata 4) Pass it in to your function MyFunction(player1) This works because MyFunction is expecting a parameter of "pdata" type (see the ".pdata" in the parameter list, as opposed to "$", or "%", or "#", etc), and you're passing in a variable that you defined as "pdata"-type in step 3. |
