I was trying to create and use a structure but I get the following error: MazeGen.Room.rWall': cannot have instance field initializers in structs I tried the structure within the class and outside it:

    public struct Room
    {
        string rWall = "|";
        string floorDwn = "_";
    }

I've seen structures set up without static fields in other peoples projects.

    public struct Wall
    {
        public bool up;
        public int room1, room2;
    }

Whats wrong with how I am using it?

hey foolios!

first, in your struct

public struct Room
{
string rWall = "|";
string floorDwn = "_";
}

you need to define the fields as public to make them accessible from the outside.


second, you can't initialize the fields inside the structure definition, you need to create an instance of the structure and set the members there. for example to create a public array of 10 Room structures:

public Room rm[] = new Room[10];

then you can set the values as follows:

rm[0].rWall = "hello";
rm[0].floorDwn = "world";

hope that helps.

oh, and in this particular case i'd use char instead of string :)

That makes sense, thank you. I will give it a go.
