chanman	int lineNum = 0; string line[255]; while(blah) { // some code line[lineNum] = str; // some more code lineNum++; } is the line[lineNum] = str; valid? Posted on 2006-01-19 19:18:58
RageCage	as long as str is a string, yes. Also, all arrays have to be declaired globally. Posted on 2006-01-19 19:43:10
Overkill	Okay, You'll want to put in some boundary checking, to make sure line num never exceeds 255. int lineNum = 0; string line[255]; while(blah) { if (lineNum >= 255) { blah = 0; // If we risk going out of array bounds, exit the loop. Though, a better idea than this is to use for loops since they're better with arrays. } // some code line[lineNum] = str; // some more code lineNum++; } I don't know what you're trying to do, but that might help you. If you're using the while() loop to set the line[] array maybe you could use a for() loop instead. EDIT: line is reserved identifier. Since Line(int x, int y, int x2, int y2, int color, int dest). So use something else. Posted on 2006-01-19 19:57:15
chanman	here is my function, it takes 2 arguements: font and string. It takes the string and splits it up so it doesnt run off the screen. Anyway, I'm getting a error on line 22 saying "exspected '(', but got ',' " string textBoxLine[255]; void TextBox(int fontFace, string myStr) { int lineNum; int count; int x; string word; string str1; string strTemp; lineNum = 0; count = TokenCount(myStr, " "); x = 0; int bounds = imageshell(0, 0, imageWidth(screen), (FontHeight(fontFace) * 3) + imageHeight(5) + imageHeight(5) + 6, screen); int textBounds = imageShell(5, 5, imageWidth(bounds) - 10, (fontHeight(fontFace) * 3), bounds); while(x < count && x < 255) { word = GetToken(str, x); strTemp = str1 + " " + word; if(textWidth(strTemp) > imageWidth(textbounds) { textBoxLine[lineNum] = str1; } else { x++; lineNum++; } } rectFill(0, 0, imageWidth(bounds), imageHeight(bounds), rgb(0,0,200), bounds); for(x = 0; x <= lineNum; x++) { printString(0, (fontHeight(fontFace) * x), textBounds, fontFace, textBoxLine[x]); } } Posted on 2006-01-19 20:25:30
Omni	<code>Line 22 word = GetToken(str, x);</code> Oops! We forgot to mention. "Str" is also a reserved identifier. See Str(int num). Which converts a number to a string. Use something original, like "mystring". That should fix it fine. Posted on 2006-01-19 20:45:03
Omni	Darn the broken post editing. Posted on 2006-01-19 20:45:54
chanman	ahhh, i'm so dumn. I renamed myStr in the function call but forgot to change it in the code... Posted on 2006-01-19 20:50:53
chanman	how come I can't edit my post? I spelled dumb wrong -_-* Posted on 2006-01-19 20:51:54
Overkill	Yeah, er... there's an issue with the edit page right now. NOT ACCEPTABLE. I dunno what's up with that. Posted on 2006-01-19 21:22:49
