array of type variable?

Trying to do the following:

Type character

End Type

what?

There shouldn't be anything stopping you from doing that.

Well, looking at the topic, I'd assume he was wanting an array of his character type. If that's the case, you need to do it like this.

Type character
 ... define type
End Type

Local CharacterArray:character[10]
For Local t:int = 0 to 9
 CharacterArray[t] = New character
Next

You need to loop through each element of the array and create the type because BlitzMAX doesn't do that for you.

or local CharacterArray:character[] = new character[10]

But you would still need to loop through the array. According to the docs, the array elements are initialized to Null
