Code: Select all

int Inventory[10][8];

void INVEN_AddItem(Actor* myActor)
{
    if(!Inventory[9][0])
    {
        //ERROR HERE
        Inventory[9] = {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
    }
}

You can't do that in C. You can only set an array like that when declaring it. Otherwise you have to set the values manually. Alternatively, you could use memset to clear the array, but even then memset in gE isn't perfectly like the real memset in C.

Oh.. So only structs (and char arrays) can be set like that. So for an Array, I would have to put them in individually to each position. Alright, Thank you! Time to try doing this again.

No, not really. You can't set structs like that, nor can you set char arrays like that. Any setting of variables with the brackets requires you to set it in the initialization (the very spot the variable is declared). You can however set char* kind of like that (using a constant literal string).

Code: Select all

char buffer[30];
char* string;

buffer = "you can't do this";
string = "you can do this"; // because it is a  pointer
// it sets the pointer to a place in memory where "you can do this" is stored
// but it is constant and can't be changed
