I think I get it. But if I had hundreds to monsters or items, I would have to initially hand type them into the array in the first place, right? What if I was loading 1000 types of monsters from a text file or xml file?

Is there a way to refer to an instance of an object based on a variable? Dim targetmonster as string targetmonster = "zombie" if monster.name = "targetmonster" then 'respond a certain way, knowing that it's the 'zombie' instance you want to use targetmonster.dosomething() end if

When you use this line: Dim monstersOnField() As Monster = {basicMonster, zombieMonster, wolfMonster, loinMonster} Can I cycle through ALL the instances in that array using the index of monstersOnField() ? If I have 5 zombies, 5 wolves, 5 lions in the array I can cycle through them...

Thanks alot. I will put this in a project and check it out. I think it answers one of my questions, or at least, I know I'll learn something from it. I want to load all the monster's from an XML file... which will have all their properties all setup.

Hi Everybody! Hoping someone can clear up a great mystery for me…. I'm trying to learn Object Oriented programming, and to do so, I am writing a small Role Playing Game. I understand why we break Players, Items, and Monsters into Classes… what I don’t “get” is how does the program know...

Is there a feature on this forum to mark your answer as correct, or to make this thread as "resolved" ?

Wow, that's incredible, you solved it in 3 lines of code. I googled this for hours, and nobody had a clear answer, or an answer under 20 lines of code. I know nothing of LINQ, but it sure is a time saver. Thank you so much.

Hey Everyone, Having trouble removing Duplicate lines in a text file. (Exact Duplicate lines). If I have a text file called animals.txt, how can I use the StreamWriter to loop through a text file, and erase and duplicate lines? For example: If the text files says this... cat cat cat dog...

Wow, thanks alot!

John, Would you mind pointing me in the right direction on that? I don't even know how to get started looping the Controls collection?

Dim b as button Allows me to talk to the specific button that was clicked. Can I also control all the other buttons handled, within the same code? ie: I want the clicked button to turn yellow, but all other buttons that are "handled" but not clicked, to turn white?

Wow - this works awesome. Thanks!

Thanks alot for your thorough answer. I will work through this. Matt

Hi guys, I know forms can refer to themselves using ME. Can buttons do the same? I want to be able to click on a button, and set a string variable to be whatever the current button's text says. For example.... if you have 2 buttons, one that says "Dog", and one that says "Cat", for...

Awesome. I'm going to try it, thanks alot. Anything I tried, wiped the whole file. I've lost hours on this. Thanks again.

Hi Guys, I'm really stuck on something, which, is probably easy, but I've blown hours trying to figure this out. I need to be able to remove 1 line from a textfile. I will always know exactly what line it is, as, it's the same "string" as a variable. So if my variable is called "removeThis"...

Hmm..... looks like I might be able to use SPLIT or JOIN to do what I'm looking to do. Any thoughts guys?

Hey guys, putting together a simple training program in which I need to show the user text and pictures. I want them to be able to hit a "next button" which will step through the text and pictures, like a slide show. All the "data" is hard coded in the program, so I'm not using a database, or...

Is it really that easy?? Thanks so much!!!

Sorry, still pretty new bear with me... I have a Class called People. I have an object called Roger, another called Sally. How can I copy my 'Roger' object over top of 'Sally' so they are identical?
