Duplicate variable definition

(Nate ) #1

Hey guys! It is me again!

So I have been wondering how I should go about doing this properly… basically I have a doctor entity which I made for my game. And I wanted to mess around with another aspect to my game which will probably be some kind of pick up item, like coins, gems etc.

This code I currently have works but it throws a yellow message when I debug saying “col:13 Warning: Duplicate variable definition.”

However, it acts just like I need it to act… I am wondering if I went about executing the code correctly, here is my code in the World.as file which basically just creates 5 doctor entities and allows me to walk into each one and have them recycle from the stage.

for (var i: int = 0; i < 5; i++)
		{
			

		doc = new theDoc;
		add(doc);//adds Doc!
		
		doc.x = 420 * i;
		doc.y = 240;
		
		}

Please let me know what you guys think! Thanks

Nevermind! It is clear to me that I have been programming (or trying to program) for too long today! The error I was getting was referring to the for loop directly below this one… also in the same update function using i as a variable as well… -.- FACE PALM… time to go outside for a little while… mods may delete this if they would like… unless they or someone else has input for doing this smoother… THANK YOU

Nothing in that snippet shows any code that should cause that warning. Ultimately, though, it’s just a warning, and if the code runs correctly you can probably ignore it.

Edit: Ah, you posted before I finished.

I usually fix these just to de-clutter the warnings window, but yeah they’re generally not a problem at all.
