I have a type that looks like this:<br><br>TYPE playertype<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cash AS INTEGER<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;hp AS INTEGER<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;etc as INTEGER<br>END TYPE<br><br>DIM player AS playertype<br><br>I would like to pass these values (like cash.player, hp.player) between subs.&nbsp;&nbsp;Currently I have a COMMON SHARED statement, and I have to list every value one by one.&nbsp;&nbsp;Isn't there something I can put in the COMMON SHARED statement that will make as of these be able to pass thru subs?&nbsp;&nbsp;Or is there something else I have to do (I don't want to declare something in each sub argument thingy.)
 
Try this out:<br><br>before your program starts declare your variable like this:<br><br>DIM SHARED player()<br><br>and you can use player.cash, player.hp, player.etc it in any sub/function without the COMMON SHARED statement.<br><br>Hope I helped :D <p> Alex<br><a href=mailto:pizzapz@libero.it>pizzapz@libero.it</a><br><a href= > </a><br>*** Q(uick)BASIC RULEZ! :D***
 
Oh man!&nbsp;&nbsp;I figured out that I was messing up on the varaibles (I put in hp.player when it shoulda been player.hp).&nbsp;&nbsp;I had to change all the vars. in my program!&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't you hate it when a small mistake will stump you for hours on end?&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I DIM SHARED player AS playertype.&nbsp;&nbsp;But thanks PZ for making me realize my stupid mistake :)
