More newbie 'type' questions

How do I pass a type in a function? I need to pass the... errr......player number to my function.

For example my type is pdata.......player number is p.pdata. How do I set it to player 2 (for example) and send that to the function?

function(p) or function(p.pdata) doesn't work.

1) Define your custom type (yours is pdata, you said, so...)

Type pdata
    Field PlayerName$
End Type

2) Define your function to accept a parameter of pdata type, like this:

Function MyFunction(p.pdata)
    ; "p" is the pdata-type variable that you pass in
    ....
End Function

3) Create a new instance of your pdata type and assign it to a variable

player1.pdata = New pdata

4) Pass it in to your function

MyFunction(player1)

This works because MyFunction is expecting a parameter of "pdata" type (see the ".pdata" in the parameter list, as opposed to "$", or "%", or "#", etc), and you're passing in a variable that you defined as "pdata"-type in step 3.

Got it, thanks :)
