Say what? - Weird error.

This is the first time I've ever seen this error, I have no idea what it means.

(Borland Bcc32 compiler ... Windows XP)
Error E2062 C:\*File* 693: Invalid indirection in function PlatBreaker()

I'm dumbstruck by this error -,-. I'll post the code, but I'd rather someone just tell me what the error is >.>.

Here the function:

Code:

---

void PlatBreaker() {
 int it;
 int x, y;

 for(x=0; x <= Plats; x++)
  if(Plat[x].IsBroken()) {

  if(Plats[x].GetFlag() == 0) {
    Plat[x].SetPc(25);
    Plat[x].SetFlag(1);
  }

  if(Plat[x].GetFlag() == 1 && Plat[x].GetPc() > 0)
    Plat[x].RemovePc();

  if(Plat[x].GetFlag() == 1 && Plat[x].GetPc() == 0)
    Plat[x].SetFlag(2);

  if(Plat[x].GetFlag() == 2) {
    Plat[x].Break();
    Plat[x].Null();
    return;
  }
  }

 return;
}

And the platform code:

Code:

Thanks for your time!

What line is that on? What is 'Plat'? The error implies that it may not be an array.

Line 26:
Platform Plat[1000];

(Global)

It is an array, not sure whats wrong -,-.

>> Line 26
That's the line that the error points to? Do you mean the line that says return;?

> if(Plats[x].GetFlag() == 0)
Everything else is singlular except for this plural

Salem's got eyes like a cat!
...or a compiler. Like a cat!

Ah! Thanks, it works great now ;)
