Problem with arrays

Hello guys,
I've got a problem with an array. I know they have to be global and this array is global
thats a section of the system.vc
int dialogueFont = LoadFont("myfont.png");
int dialogueFontYellow = LoadFont("myfontyellow.png");
#define MAX_TEXT_LINES 4
int TextBoxColor[3];
TextBoxColor[0] = 1;
int TextBoxColorR = 0;
int TextBoxColorG = 0;
int TextBoxColorB = 200;
zoom in
int TextBoxColor[3];
TextBoxColor[0] = 1; //this is the evil line
When i try to compile it the compiler says: "Line 16: Expecting a variable or Function declaration - brace blabla"
As you can see, i don't need the array anymore, but I'd like to know an answer to this problem in order to prevent future problems.

Yeah you can't assign arrays outside of functions. Wherever you need to initialize an array, you should make a function that's called by AutoExec().
void InitializeTextBox()
{
TextBoxColor[0] = 1;
TextBoxColor[1] = 1;
TextBoxColor[2] = 200;
}
void AutoExec()
{
// ...
InitializeTextBox();
// ...
}

I have something like that, but when I try to run the program, I get "system.vc: expecting "[" but got ")" instead"
the only symbol I have on that line is } to close the function

Is this on a program that's been posted? It's easier to spot the problem with some pertinent source.

It sounds to me like you were trying to use an array without any [ ]'s.
Example.
int arrayVar[6];
your_function(arrayVar);
That would produce that error message I believe.

choris, verge doesn't let you pass an array as a function argument.

Of course not, but if he coded something like that by mistake, verge would give him that error message. And I just checked... and it does.

Would I need several functions to assign values to different arrays within a struct, or could it be done with only one function?
Also, it now tells me "invalid argument type" the whole code looks like this
struct unit
{
int unitstat[8];
int unitweapon[12];
int unitability[11];
}
unit player;
void playerunit();
{
player.unitstat[0] = 12
//assign the rest of the values
}
what am I doing wrong?

Just a simple syntax error. You've got a semi-colon after the function declaration. :)
void playerunit();

sorry, that was a mistake, there was no semicolon in the actual code.

Hmm, I ran the code you posted (+ and - a semicolon here or there) and it worked fine for me. Could the problem be elsewhere?

It's possible. I currently have all of the different strings in the struct being assigned values in the same function. Is that possible, or does it have to be in different functions?

I think the problem is in how I am calling up the function, does anybody have any suggestions?
My current code looks something like this
void AutoExec()
{
Map("Start.map");
Playerunit(player.unit)
}
struct unit
{
int unitstat[8];
int unitweapon[12];
int unitability[11];
}
unit player;
void playerunit();
{
player.unitstat[0] = 12
//assign the rest of the values for unitstat, unitweapon, and unitability
}
the error message says the error is on the line with the final "}" but it claims it is geting ")" and expecting "["
if anybody has any suggestions, I'm running out of ideas for fixing it (hence the reason I'm posting this

void AutoExec()
{
Map("Start.map");
// Error:
// 1) You don't declare PlayerUnit to take any arguments.
// 2) unit is not a member of the "unit" struct, which player is
// defined to be.
// 3) (Non-fatal) This statement will never be reached, as Map() halts
// execution within functions and jumps to a new map.
Playerunit(player.unit);
}
struct unit
{
int unitstat[8];
int unitweapon[12];
int unitability[11];
}
unit player;
// Error: You have a semi-colon where there should not be one.
void playerunit();
{
// Error: You have neglected to put in a semicolon.
player.unitstat[0] = 12
//assign the rest of the values for unitstat, unitweapon, and unitability
}
I've placed comments above lines of possible errors. Tell me if that helps, and otherwise, package your entire game project into a zip and send it to one of us.

Map("Start.map");
}
struct unit
{
int unitstat[8];
int unitweapon[12];
int unitability[11];
}
unit player;
void playerunit()
{
player.unitstat[0] = 12;
//assign the rest of the values for unitstat, unitweapon, and unitability
}
still gives the error message
system.vc(line is always the last line of code): Expecting "[" but got ")"

Funny, that code segment compiles for me. Are you sure you're not withholding some pieces of your code?

That code section did compile. For some reason, another section of the program gave the error at the end of the program.
