Hi

Am I right in thinking that to set a float value equal to the nth element of
an array I would do something like:

#declare my_array = array[3] {10,11,12}

#declare my_value = array[2];

hence my_value would take its value from the 2nd array element, ie  = 11.
The only problem is, I get a
"Parse Error: All #declares of float, vector, and color require semi-colon
';' at end if the
language version is set to 3.5 or higher.
Either add the semi-colon or set the language version to 3.1 or lower."
error - even though the semi-colon is present.

Thanks
jim

: hence my_value would take its value from the 2nd array element, ie  = 11.

  Firstly, it has to be:

#declare my_value = my_array[2];

  Secondly, the indexing starts from 0, which means that '12' is assigned
to 'my_value'.

oops, this is what is have in the pov code, but I had a little finger
trouble in typing the email...but I still get the missing semi-colon error.

  I don't.

  Are you sure it's not issued for an error in another line (perhaps a previous
line)?
