Legacy GM My Array system is not working.

[Emperor88]

currently i am programming a node-run fleet AI into my game. only when i try to send pre-randomized x and y coords the arrays will not have it. i have a totalships variable because the amount of ships can differ per fleet node. ect. this is the code and it is coming up with errors. please explain why! cheers emporer88

for (i=1; i<=totalships; i+=1)
{
ship.xrally = x + xxcoord
ship.yrally = y + yycoord
}

also to note totalships has been calculated before and xxcoord and yycoord are the saved arrays of the coords (x and y) that the ships way points are at.

the error says
trying to index a variable which is not an array.

You have to specify indexes in array when you read/write off of them. Like this

ship.xrally = x + xxcoord[@0];

Change the '0' with the index you want. But I would like more context to this code cause that error message should have come from elsewhere.

thanks
yea im not sure i setup the xxcoord and yycoord right.

got another error different this time. says Execution error- Variable Index [0,1] out of range [1,1] - - 1 xxcoord(100022,1) at gml_obj_NODE_stepNormalEvent_1 (line two) xxcoord = xxcoord + x

well i think i may have a closer look soon . thanks

well i fixed it. and then my game maker broke and refuses to play the game. even with the code disabled
