I need to create an array of 99 elements, each element being a struct i create earlier. Let me show you how I have tried this thus far.

struct invenvars
{
char name[64], description[64];
int value1, value2;
}

invenvars item;

declare inventory = new array[99];

//I setup the inventory variables here
...
//End setup

for(int loop = 1; loop < 100; loop++)
inventory[loop] = item;

Now everything seems OK, but it gives me a declaration error for 'inventory'. I am declaring it the way I am showed in my Borland Help files, but once again, they seem to be WRONG (big surprise, NOT). Can somebody show me how to declare an array properly in Win32? Thanks in advance.

typedef struct{
    char name[64];
    char description[64];
    int  value1;
    int  value2;     
}INVENVARS;
 
INVENVARS invenvars[99];

for(int loop = 1; loop < 100; loop++) 
{
    invenvars[loop].value1 = item; 
    invenvars[loop].value2 = other_item;
}

invenvars[1].name = {'S','e','p','h','i','r','o','t','h'};

Maybe this'll help.

invenvars[1].name = {'S','e','p','h','i','r','o','t','h'};

Should have been

invenvars[1].name[64] = "Sephiroth";

I need to have each location hold 4 values though. Something like:

Inventory[1] = "Small Potion", "Restores 25 health", 1, 25;

See I need to store the item name, descripption, total owned, and specific value in one slot. Is it possible to do this somehow? When I query Inventory[1] I need it to return those values into the item structure. I will then paste the item structure into the item window for the user to see.

I see what you mean now. That works PERFECTLY! I didn't understand how you were setting it up originally, but I see now.

inventoryitem item[99];

sprintf(item[1].name, "Potion");
item[1].modifier = 25;

This is excellent! Now there's no need for an array holding 99 of those structs, haha. Thanks man, you've been a BIG help!

loop should start out at "0" because the array has 0 to 98 elements. It should end with "< 99". the way you had it it would start with 1 and end up with 99. There is no 99 array spot.
for(int loop = 0; loop < 99; loop++)
inventory[loop] = item;
in declaring an array use the old c style:

: typedef struct invenvars_
: {
: char name[64], description[64];
: int value1, value2;
: }invenvars;
:
: invenvars item[99];
:
: //I setup the inventory variables here
: ...
: //End setup
:
: for(int loop = 0; loop < 99; loop++)
: inventory[loop] = item;

Yeah I figured that out several months ago. Right now I am trying to figure out how to capture mouse coordinates inside a child window for the level editor. The game engine itself has been done.
