Structure field name confuse variable name

[bfernhout]

I am trying to program a packman version for study class.
When i use a variable called Direction en i use a structure e.g. Pinky()'\Direction. the Pinky()\Direction is seen as a variable Direction.

Code example

Code: Select all

#Left =1
#Right = 2

Global Direction.i = 0

Structure Pink
  Direction.i
Endstructure

Global NewList Pinky.Pink()

Addelement (Pinky())

pinky()\Direction = #Left

Debug Pinky()\Direction 	;Result in 0
debug Direction			;Result in 0

Two differend variables but only the global created variable is reconized.

This topic mayt be closed. I did not notice that the program was clearing the variable in the structure.

When in debug mode the variable is not reconiced as a variable from the structure. That the only problem. I had a long piece of code and needed to reset the value a couple of times.
That was done on another Procdure so when my program runs it gave me the 0 value what was right.
