Struct + [] variable

[f13rce]

Hey there LE community ,

 

Yeah I'm enjoying my time in France. Now that I'm trying to finish the networking here using 39dll I got stuck with a problem.

 

I'm trying to make a player object when someone joins. I have made a struct for the Players (named players) and if someone joins we get his playerid. piece of code:

 

players[playerid] = readbyte(0);

 

This all goes well untill I want him to assign an X, Y or Z coordinate:

 

players[playerid].X = 1000;

 

The compiler claims I haven't initialized the X of players yet while players.X=<number>; works.

I've checked the C2228 page a LOT and I wasn't able to fix this, hereby this thread.

 

Does anybody have experience with this or does know what could be the problem? A small tutorial how to initialize a struct with []'s would also work

 

Thanks and greetings from France,

So you are doing an array of structs? http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2001-May/005957.html

I'm not at all sure what it is you are attempting to do in this line of code.

 

If players is an array of structs then you appear to be assigning this particular struct in it's entirety to some value readbyte(0) as you are not referencing any member of the structure in your assignment. players[playerid] will simply point to the start of that instance of the structure in memory. Is this really what you are meaning to do? Without seeing the struct definition and the rest of the code it's not easy to determin if this is valid or not.

Thanks, that worked

 

@Pixel: We've troubled it out.
