Well I want to add a array to the existing Player record.

"Player.Combat"

Can you add to the existing TUser record?

I was guessing like this:

  type
    TUser = record
    Combat: array[0..3] of string;
  end;

That way I can use:
Player.Combat[0]
Player.Combat[1]
Player.Combat[2]
Player.Combat[3]

Idk if thats correct thats why I'm asking.

Sorry, but that's unfortunately not possible with scar.
You can use Players[].Strings[], but can't have inheritance.

From Players.scar :

type
  TUser = record
    Name: string;                   // * User Name
    Pass: string;                   // * User Pass
    Pin: string;                   // * Current Users Pin Number
    Nick: string;                   // * Screen Name for random detection
    NickTPA: TPointArray;           // * TPA Of Player Name
    Level: array[0..24] of Word;    // * Levels of all skills.
    Active: Boolean;                // * Set to True if Ok, False if Lost.
    Loc: string;                    // * User Location
    Skill: string;                  // * User Action to Perform
    Worked: Integer;                // * Time User has worked
    Banked: Integer;                // * Number of Banks User has done
    Rand: string;                   // * Current Random
    Booleans: array of Boolean;     // * For reports, etc.
    Integers: array of Integer;     // * For reports, etc.
    Strings: array of string;       // * For reports, etc.
    Extendeds: array of Extended;   // * For reports, etc.
  end;

You could just add your line there to make it :

type
  TUser = record
    Name: string;                   // * User Name
    Pass: string;                   // * User Pass
    Pin: string;                   // * Current Users Pin Number
    Nick: string;                   // * Screen Name for random detection
    NickTPA: TPointArray;           // * TPA Of Player Name
    Level: array[0..24] of Word;    // * Levels of all skills.
    Active: Boolean;                // * Set to True if Ok, False if Lost.
    Loc: string;                    // * User Location
    Skill: string;                  // * User Action to Perform
    Worked: Integer;                // * Time User has worked
    Banked: Integer;                // * Number of Banks User has done
    Rand: string;                   // * Current Random
    Booleans: array of Boolean;     // * For reports, etc.
    Integers: array of Integer;     // * For reports, etc.
    Strings: array of string;       // * For reports, etc.
    Extendeds: array of Extended;   // * For reports, etc.
    Combat: array[0..3] of string;
  end;

But that will only work for your SRL when you change that. Afaik it is not possible to add it without changing the record in Players.scar

Yeah I just did some experiments with it… U can't add to the record.
Thanks for confirmation guys.

Guess I'll just use Strings 90-93 or something.

You can use Players[].Strings[], but can't have inheritance.

But with Delphi you actually can, right? You can have inheritance, override, etc over there. Right? (I know it's kinda off topic:p)

-Tsn.

Not with SCAR.

Try

ChangeCombatVar(Player: Integer; Value: String);

and have it access them. Still provides… Uh… a front end.

could you do something like

type
  NewThing = record
  Setup: TUser;
  Combat: array of integer;
end;

would that be satisfactory?

Yeah I was thinking of making a new record for it. But I have it setup to just use strings 50-53 atm.

This new system its turning out pretty nice. I'll post it when its finish. Its basically an very advance version of "SetFightMode."

That's not a bad idea at all. Nicely found, new type with player type in it:p

-Tsn.

If you'd do that, you would still have to do:

NewThing.Setup.Name := ;
NewThing.Combat[1] := ;

How would you switch players then? :p
I think it's best to use Players[x].Strings or make a separate array/record named PlayerInfo or something:

Players[0].Name = 'Nielsie95';
PlayerInfo[0].CombatMode = 'attack';

If you'd do that, you would still have to do:

NewThing.Setup.Name := ;
NewThing.Combat[1] := ;

Aye thats why I'm using the existing strings… But now that I'm farther into developing it I think I might try using a array setup for more advance settings.

So I can record everything about the style. Stab, crush, slice, rapid, accurate… etc. Since there is certain styles that work better on some mobs then others.
