Hi all,
I need some help with user defined types or the like.
I need a Type, or something similar that allows me to have mutiple types?

eg.

Type PlayerCharacter
Owner as string
Name as string
' somemore stuff here
LeftHand as HandType
RightHand as HandType
End Type

type handtype


end type

sounds like classes to me, but then again I'm just a C++ progger, so I'm unfamiliar with most other languages. what language are you trying to program in here, and maybe I'll (or someone else) will be able to help...

I'll assume you are using C++, you can do this two ways, with structs or with classes, it really doesn't matter which.

class Hand
{
  private:
    whatever;
  public:
    whatever;
};

class Player
{
  private:
    string owner;
    string name;
    Hand leftHand;
    Hand rightHand;
  public:
    whatever;
}

There's no reason why you can't do what you're doing (in VisualBasic I presume). Just make sure that if type A is within type B, A must appear in your code before B.

Yup, taubz is right. Move the 'HandType' declaration above the 'PlayerCharacter' declaration, and it should work perfectly. :o)

ah! has to be before eh?
ok that fixes the problem, thanx a lot.
