Oh my goodness! It is always something small that wastes hours of time.

Okej, forget this, I solved it. Immediately after I sent this I found the problem! All I needed to do to find it out was probably to write about it somewhere… I found the problem when I did a search in all modules for my type ”DieStatistics”. I found it in a module called ”Experiment” which is Swedish for ”Experiments” in this case. I did some tests in that module a few days ago, before I declared DiceFreq as an array of DieStatistics, so DiceFreq was declared globally twice: Module Experiment: Global DiceFreq As DieStatistics Module P: Private DiceFreq(1) As DieStatistics After removing the Experiment ones, everything worked as expected. Phew, what a relief… I thought I was crazy there for a few minutes…! And I usually don't top post, but in this case I thought it could be appropriate, since the text below suddenly became very unimportant. Best regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ 2011/8/15 Johnny Rosenberg<gurus.knu...@gmail.com>:I was editing some code I have, actually a game with dice and stuff, but that doesn't matter, I suppose. So I ran into a problem, and I copied the troubling part of the code to a separate document for test driving. However, the test code runs perfectly, but not within the game of mine! I ran the game on another computer but another version of OpenOffice.org (actually the first computer runs LibreOffice 3.3.3), but the results were exactly the same. Here's the test code. I have a message box after almost every statement so I can see what happens. I added some extra comments in the code. REM ***** BASIC ***** Option Explicit Option Compatible Type DieStatistics Value As Integer Count As Integer End Type ' The variable DiceFreq, declared below this comment, tells us which two die values that are most frequent. For example, if the six dice are 133455, ' DiceFreq will contain: ' DiceFreq(0).Value: 5 (the most common value is 5) ' DiceFreq(0).Count: 2 (2 dice have the value 5) ' DiceFreq(1).Value: 3 (the second most common value is 3 – in this case there are two of both 3 and five, but higher value has priority) ' DiceFreq(1).Count: 2 (2 dice have the value 3) ' This makes it very easy for us to calculate things later, calculations that are not present in this short example though. Private DiceFreq(1) As DieStatistics ' Sub Test0 ' NDice tells us how many there are of each die value. In the above example, NDice(4)=1, since there are 1 die with the value 4. Dim NDice(1 To 6) As Integer, i As Integer ' Here we set the values of NDice for an example where this is known to fail, that is what NDice would contain if the dice were 112345 ' NDice(1)=2, NDice(2)=1 and so on. For i=2 To 5 NDice(i)=1 Next i NDice(1)=2 ' Here's where I calculate the values for DiceFreq by going through NDice from 6 to 1. For i=6 To 1 Step -1 If NDice(i)>DiceFreq(0).Count Then DiceFreq(1).Count=DiceFreq(0).Count DiceFreq(1).Value=DiceFreq(0).Value MsgBox DiceFreq(0).Value& ": "& DiceFreq(0).Count& " st."& Chr(13)& _ DiceFreq(1).Value& ": "& DiceFreq(1).Count& " st." DiceFreq(0).Count=NDice(i) DiceFreq(0).Value=i MsgBox DiceFreq(0).Value& ": "& DiceFreq(0).Count& " st."& Chr(13)& _ DiceFreq(1).Value& ": "& DiceFreq(1).Count& " st." ElseIf NDice(i)>DiceFreq(1).Count Then DiceFreq(1).Count=NDice(i) DiceFreq(1).Value=i MsgBox DiceFreq(0).Value& ": "& DiceFreq(0).Count& " st."& Chr(13)& _ DiceFreq(1).Value& ": "& DiceFreq(1).Count& " st." EndIf Next i MsgBox "Final reults:"& String(2,Chr(13))& DiceFreq(0).Value& ":" & DiceFreq(0).Count& _ " st."& Chr(13)& DiceFreq(1).Value& ": "& DiceFreq(1).Count& " st." End Sub Now, while this works perfectly as a stand-alone subroutine, it doesn't work in the game. What happens in the game is that everytime I change the value of DiceFreq(i).Value or DiceFreq(i).Count, BOTH instances are changed, for example if I set DiceFreq(0).Value to 5, DiceFreq(1).Value is also set to 5 and I just can't figure out why! In the game the corresponding subroutine is called from another module, but I simulated that too in my test, but still it ONLY fails in the game. I can upload my game document (the debug version) somewhere if needed. What on earth could possibly cause this? I'm just out of ideas! Help…? Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ
