One way is to make the .skill type contain the player name, you don't need to include one type inside the other this way;Type skill Field playername$ Field name$ Field comline$ End Type Then you can just search for the players name. However you have to make sure the names are all different. The other way would be to allocate an ID for each player, Then provided you know the player you can look up his id and search for his skills. Type player Field name$ Field id End Type Type skill Field id Field name$ Field comline$ End Type You have some overhead looking through the complete skills list but unless it is very big you should not notice.

| instead of ID, you can have owner.player IDs usually arent needed in the programs that I see that have them |

Also,Type player Field firstSkill.skill Field numSkills End Type ... temp.skill = new skill Insert temp after p\firstSkill p\numSkills = p\numSkills + 1 ... s.skill = p\firstSkill For i = 1 to p\numSkills Print s\name$ s = After s Next ...should work. It's possible that you're going to be dealing with a specific set of skills that only have one integer value (ie 25 intelligence, 18 dexterity, 15 strength). In this case, you might want to simply use an array: [box] Type player Field skills[2] ; 0 = int ; 1 = dex ; 2 = str End Type [/box] If the skills are more complex but you're still dealing with a specific set, you can use an array of skills (ie Field skills.skill[2]). |
