Multi-Dimension Arrays In Structures

I want to hold a map in a structure, so I need a 2-dimension array like this...

Structure Terrain
Name.s
Walkable.b
CharacterSymbol.s
EndStructure

Structure Map
Name.s
Cells.Terrain[10,10]
EndStructure

This would give my map a 10x10 array of terrain cells. But it seems I cannot have a static, multidimensioned array in a structure.

My beef is that since a structure's size is fixed, and a static array's size is fixed, why can't I have a two-dimensional array of structures?

change to:

Code: Select all

Structure Terrain
Name.s
Walkable.b
CharacterSymbol.s
EndStructure

Structure Map
Name.s
Dim Cells.Terrain(10,10)
EndStructure

Kale, what you wrote is just wrong.
Did you ever test this?

There is only one solution. See here:

Thanks guys, I will try the "array in a struct" with another struct to hold that struct approach.

hmmm, i didn't test it properly (i had to shoot of back to work, tut tut...). The above code compiled fine for me and i thought it was right, looking at it now though,... yeah it'll never work
