Is there a quick way to zero a struct/array

[GarageGothic]

Is there any quick way to clear out all values in a struct? Or do I have to do a

Code: ags

while (num <= maxnum) {
mystruct[num].array = 0;
num++:
}

on all values?

I'm not even sure, does it save memory if you reset the values to zero? I use a large amount of structs and arrays, and frankly I'm a bit worried about all the trash being stored in memory and in savegames.

Right, just use loops, there's no quick way as far as I know.

No it doesn't matter, so organize your game's variables wisely. Unless it's something like Dynamic sprites or variables local to functions that can be destroyed.

Ok thanks. Could the solution may be to use a room above 300 then so it wouldn't be state saved? And then use a global ints/struct for the few settings that are used later.

can you "release" variables?

Yes, this can be an idea.

No, unless the vraiables are defined within functions, variables defined outside of functions cannot be "removed" ingame.
