DIM TYPE - redimming is it possible

[mattsaintdev]

Hi,

i have a 2d array in the Globals section e.g.

Dim Type(dbref,firstname,surname) Personnel(0)

In a function i would like to 'REDIM' the size of the array but when i do ;

Sub MyFunc
Dim Personnel(100)
End Sub

The array looses its TYPE and becomes an array of 100 elements - or so the compiler says.

Thanks in advance!

Matt

Instead of

Sub MyFunc
Dim Personnel(100)
End Sub

you should use

Sub MyFunc
Dim Personnel(100,3)
End Sub

B4PPC treats the Type Variable as 2 dimensional arrays.

In your case with
Dim Type(dbref,firstname,surname) Personnel(0)
and
Dim Personnel(100,3)

Personnel(10).dbref is the same as Personnel(10,0)
Personnel(10).firstname is the same as Personnel(10,1)
Personnel(10).surname is the same as Personnel(10,2)

Best regards.
