I believe it's possible. maybe if you store "appv" to a string and the name into other string and concentrate it, it would work.
I think I get the idea, but could you put that in code please?

EDIT: new page!

If you don't understand some of the Asm stuff, just skip it. ;)
I don't understand any of it... ???
can anyone answer my first question?
Alright, I'll try my best to explain how to do it without writing it for you. ;)

First you have to create the variable.  This is done with GetCalc(PTR,SIZE).  SIZE will almost* always 756 bytes, as it's 63*12.  The pointer will point to some information like this:
7,96,Picture Number (Pic1 is 0, Pic2 is 1, ... Pic0 is 10),0
This is [0760##00] in hex.

GetCalc will return a pointer to the new file.  You then have to fill the file with data.  The 756 bytes are all the picture info.  You can just copy 756 bytes from the main buffer (L6) into it if you want.

This is the basic premise.  I'm not 100% sure this will work - I've never done this in Axe before, but I know I'm on the right track.  Good luck getting this to work - if it doesn't, let me know, and I'll try and figure out what I screwed up. :P

P.S.  You know how I kept saying "almost*"?  Well, that's because you can have different sized pictures, but they may cause unpredictable behavior. :P  Edit: After talking to Runer I found out that he recommends making it 768 bytes and then being able to copy the whole buffer.

appvars will be a better choice to store pics because you can store more than one in appvar! XD
Code: [Select]
GetCalc("appvWHATEVER",768*number_of_pictures)->A
[Pic1]->Str1
[Pic2]->Str2 . . . etc
Copy(Str1,A,768)
Copy(Str2,A+768,768) . . . etc

Ok, so I have yet another question.  ;)
so I have a moving charector in a game, and I want to be able to press a key and have his coordinates stored in a REAL variable (as in the ones on the calc)
How would I do that?  ???

GetCalc("varA"->D       //Calls Variable A from OS
float{D}->A               //Store it into Axe var A
Repeat getKey(Whatever)
.....
End
A->float{D}               //After you're done messing with Axe var A, store it back into OS A.

hmmm... I can't get that to work.
Here's the smidgin of code that doesn't work:
Code: [Select]
:.players position is (X,Y)
:If getKey(53)
:GetCalc("varA")->D
:GetCalc("carB")->E
:X->A
:Y->B
:A->float{D}
:B->float{E}
:End

what error does it gives you?
also, you must have something stored in OS var D and E I think.

It compiles perfectly well, but when I do that and exit the program, it doesn't change the values of the variables to what it should be.
EDIT: tried deleting vars first and it still didn't work.

Nope. I had the player at position (1,1) and it didn't work.

Are you using the latest Axe version?  Some older versions referenced floats incorrectly due to overcompensating for the size field.
