Array of record, inside record :?

[Flikerator]

code:

import GUI type Equip :     record         Name : string         Type : string         Stat : int     end record type Char :     record         Name : string         Pw : string         Race : string         Gender : string         Lvl : int         Xp, xp : int         Hp, hp : int         Vit : int         Str : int         Dex : int         Int : int         Wis : int         Bgold, gold : int         MstAxe, MstSwrd, MstMce, MstStf, MstAir, MstFire, MstCold, MstArc, MstArm : int         Algn : int         Item : array 1 .. 30 of string         Rh, Lh, Armor, Spl1, Spl2, Acc : array 1 .. 1 of Equip     end record

I know i could reduce the code, i know there is probably an easier way to do it, but this is what i need;

To declare the name, type, and stat of Rh.

It will be something confusing im sure.

EDIT - Change

code:

Rh, Lh, Armor, Spl1, Spl2, Acc : array 1 .. 1 of Equip

to

code:

Rh, Lh, Armor, Spl1, Spl2, Acc : Equip

By making all the equipment into a var and not an array, and by actually making a var for all of them (forgot that part) i have figured it out (took aboyt 10 seconds when i tried).

Anyways incase you want to know what it is add this;

code:

var Player : Char Player.Rh.Name := "blue" put Player.Rh.Name

How it works;

When making the var go to the mother variable which is Player. Now you've "selected" all the variables in the Player record. When you choose to declare Rh it is also a record. So it acts like a "mother" variable for the Equip record. So then you must choose which variable you want to change in Equip. So far you have Player.Rh

Choose a variable inside that record and you end up with;

Player.Rh.Name
Player.Rh.Type
Player.Rh.Stat

If say Stat was another record, you would need to put another . after it and then the varible you want to declare.

I hope I explained this clearly enough.

code:

var mage : Char mage.Rh.Name := "Light Sword"

Now, you can always just do this:

code:

type Char :     record         Name : string         Pw : string         Race : string         Gender : string         Lvl : int         Xp, xp : int         Hp, hp : int         Vit : int         Str : int         Dex : int         Int : int         Wis : int         Bgold, gold : int         MstAxe, MstSwrd, MstMce, MstStf, MstAir, MstFire, MstCold, MstArc, MstArm : int         Algn : int         Item : array 1 .. 30 of string         Rh, Lh, Armor, Spl1, Spl2, Acc :             record                 Name : string                 Type : string                 Stat : int             end record     end record var mage : Char mage.Rh.Name := "Light Sword" put mage.Rh.Name

*edit* I posted too late

*edit2* Though, if you are simply going to have a synonym to the type name as the variable, you can just make the record a variable in the first place:

code:

var Char :     record         Name : string         Pw : string         Race : string         Gender : string         Lvl : int         Xp, xp : int         Hp, hp : int         Vit : int         Str : int         Dex : int         Int : int         Wis : int         Bgold, gold : int         MstAxe, MstSwrd, MstMce, MstStf, MstAir, MstFire, MstCold, MstArc, MstArm : int         Algn : int         Item : array 1 .. 30 of string         Rh, Lh, Armor, Spl1, Spl2, Acc :             record                 Name : string                 Type : string                 Stat : int             end record     end record Char.Rh.Name := "Light Sword"

Lolz thanks for the help anyways = )

Aah, you've just come across a the sub-record. How wonderful it must feel! Just wait, however, until you've gotten used to it. You'll take it for granted, soon enough. You'll delve deeper, then realize you can't go deeper. Flexibile arrays simply cannot co-exist with the record!

[Delos]

To clarify Cervantes there, flexy arrays can hold vicious spawn of records, but records cannot give birth to flexy arrays.

Why? I'll give you three guesses.

[Flikerator]

So flexible arrays can hold records, but records can't hold flexible arrays (non-turing computer)? If thats true then you won't be able to have flexible sub records and that makes me sad = (

Im guessing thats a joke implying there is no reason?

[Cervantes]

There is a reason for everything.
