Hi, i have a little problem with showing a part of an array in a digit. while definination and declaration seems to work Code: STRING * res[6]; res[0] = "640 x 480"; res[1] = "800 x 600"; res[2] = "1024 x 768"; but as i want to show it via Code: digits(0, 0, " %s", "Arial#16", 1, res[1]); it shows only "(null)" also unfortunately Code: str_cpy(resolution, res[num]); gives me an malfunction says: "Empty pointer in set_res" (set_res is the function called by the button from the panel with the digits above) what i have to do to use the part of the array in the digits and iin other functions without exactly know thwat the player wants and witout writing a new function for each possibility? i hope you can help me with it greetings ~kitsu fogman: "Hint: It´s useful to learn to read before you try to write games."

Then, the digits will work MarianFrische.com

Code:

///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

///////////////////////////////

FONT* fnt_test = "arial#20";
STRING* str_res[6];

PANEL* pnl_res = {
//	digits(10, 10, "%s", *, 1, str_res[0]); //wont' work, string is not yet initialised!
	flags = SHOW;
}

void main(){
	
	str_res[0]= str_create("600x480");
	str_res[1]= str_create("800x600");
	pan_setstring(pnl_res, 0, 10, 10, fnt_test, str_res[0]);
	pan_setstring(pnl_res, 0, 10, 30, fnt_test, str_res[1]);
}

though you'd be better off using TEXT instead of PANEL

Code:

TEXT* txt_res = {
	font = fnt_test;
	pos_x = 300;
	strings = 6;
	string("600x480", "800x600", "1024x768");
	flags = SHOW;
}
