READ: error in invalid memory area what does that mean?

[jimmynewguy]

I keep getting a run time error on line 28, i've tried everything i know how to but no result..... can anyone help me? the code is here and if you don't know how to fix it can anyone tell me what it means? Thanx. The code is to get the closest enemy1 and set the targetx and targety as their x2 & y2. I marked line 28

Code: Select all

int n;
double mindist = 100;
actors = getAllActorsInCollision("Event Actor", &n);


if(actors)
{
  int i;
  for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
  {
    if(strcmp(actors[i].name, "enemy1") == 0)
    {
       double d = distance(parent.x, parent.y, actors[i].x2, actors[i].y2);
       if(d < mindist)
       {
           closest = (actors + i);
           mindist = d;
       }
    }
  }
}
if(!closest)
{
targetx = -500;
targety = 3000;
}
else if(closest)
{
targetx = closest->x2;//LINE 28 IS THIS ONE
targety = closest->y2;//WHY NO ERROR HERE?
}

targetx = closest->x2; again for anger lol

Try put:

Code: Select all

closest = NULL;

before your code

[jimmynewguy]

Code: Select all

Actor *actors, *closest = NULL;


i had that in global, but it works in code thanx mak, looks like i own you one....again It's kind of ironic that you helped me right that original code....
