Code: var destination[3] = {0}; var oldDest[3] = {0}; while(1) {wait(1); destination[0] = my.destX; destination[1] = my.destY; if(oldDest[0]!=destination[0]\|\|oldDest[1]!=destination[1]) //use to send destionation coords { oldDest[0] = destination[0]; oldDest[1] = destination[1]; pMyZoneDest[0] = my.destX; pMyZoneDest[1] = my.destY; send_var(pMyZoneDest); // beep(); } } The if statement is always true... even when my.destX and my.destY DONT CHANGE O_O. Whats going on? I think i'm assigning something wrong... Last edited by PrenceOfDarkness; 07/21/08 07:15.

( (oldDest[0] != destination[0]) \|\| (oldDest[1] != destination[1]) ) You want it to update the location when new coordinates are given, otherwise you want it to sit there and wait. Try the parenthesis first and see if it's not precendence related first. If there's the possibility that your two locals are going out of scope try making them static to see if that keeps oldDest valid from wait to wait. ------------------------------------ Quantum Mechanic Better living at the subatomic level
