I'm getting a weird no error-crash in verge. lets set up a hypothetical situation:



struct blah{


     string name;


}





blah temp[20];


blah temp2;





void Caca(){


     temp2.name = temp[1].name; //crash!


}

and temp[1].name does have data assigned name, what's interesting is that if you change name into an int, it will work with out crashing.

is this a verge error? or am I doing something wrong?

[After testing a bit, the original comments have been deemed useless. However:]

It seems as though if some structs are declared as arrays, all must be, try the following:

struct blah{


     string name;


}





blah temp[20];


blah temp2[1];





void Caca(){


     temp2[0].name = temp[1].name; // no crash!


}





// in autoexec:


temp[1].name = "crap2";


temp2[0].name = "crap";


log("temp2[0].name = " + temp2[0].name);


Caca(); // temp2[0].name = temp[1].name;


log("temp2[0].name = " + temp2[0].name);





// from log:


temp2[0].name = crap


temp2[0].name = crap2

Note that it did not crash, and ran other code after this and exitted normally upon alt+X.

PS: Perhaps it simply does not like assigning between struct arrays and non arrayed structs.
