i have a little problem with the "Dim" command

here a snap of my code

Code: Select all

Global MAXPARTICLES = 50000
Dim partarray[MAXPARTICLES+1]

the compiler tells me i must enter a value into the parameter of dim

so it's not possible to inizialize an array with a variable argument?

i can initialize it with the while-whend cycle, but the Dim option is much easy

you could try to use dim with a constant. not with a calc. so dim array[MAXPATICLES] should work...

unfortunatly not

Code: Select all

c = MAXPATICLES+1
dim array[c]

and not with this too

Currently not.

Well, initializing the array using a loop is also pretty straight forward, i.e.

Code: Select all

; make a new array
partarray = {}

; initialize fields 0-50000 with 0
For Local k = 0 To MAXPARTICLES Do partarray[k] = 0
