Public Types

[Pino]

Hey all, i have a public type...

Public Type secondCharacter
shooting As String
x As Long
y As Long
End Type

simple enough but when i refer to it...

secondCharacter.shooting = "Hello"

i gte an object requiered error wen running in VB and when compiled varible not defined!

any suggestions on why i am recieving this problem?

You defined the Type, but not a variable of that type. ie Dim x As secondCharacter

If you only create a type, you have only created a new type for a variable. You must then declare a variable of that type.

Like:

Dim YourVar as secondCharacter

then you can use:

YourVar.shooting="hello"

...and then of course

x.shooting = "Hello"
