Type global initializer must be constant.

Does anyone know what this compiler error means? I can't figure it out.

It points to my function inside my type.

framework brl.max2d
Graphics 640,480,0

Global imgBlue:Image = Image.Create("gfx/blue.bmp")
Global imgGreen:Image = Image.Create("gfx/green.bmp")
Global imgYellow:Image = Image.Create("gfx/yellow.bmp")

Global imgOrange:Image = Image.Create("gfx/orange.bmp")
Global imgPurple:Image = Image.Create("gfx/purple.bmp")

Type Image
	Global ImageListCount:Int 
	Global ImageList:TList = New TList
	Field xpos,ypos:Int
	Field image:TImage
	Field AlphaLevel:Int
	
	'create
	Function Create:Image(strPath:String)
		Local img:Image = New Image
		img.image = LoadImage(strPath)
		ImageList.AddLast img
		Return img
	End Function	
	
	
	'constructor
	Method New()
		'ImageListCount:+1
		xpos = (GraphicsWidth() / 2)
		ypos = (GraphicsHeight() / 2)
	
	End Method
End Type


Type ExplodeIntoParticles
	Global ParticleList:TList = New TList

End Type

I figured it out. It didn't like the two TList variables being inside the types.

Its cos you aren't just defining the TList globals, but because you are trying to initialise them with code within the definition.

Reduce them to this:
Global ParticleList:TList

Thanks! That works.

What I do here is this:

Type Oink

	Global OinkList:TList

	Method New ()
		If OinkList = Null Then OinkList = New TList
	End Method

End Type

It's a single 'If' test that's automatically called on creating a new object -- if Null, create the list; if non-Null, the list already exists. I also like to add 'Self' to the list just after that line...
