Refer to motor in function

Hello everyone,

I am somewhat of a beginner so sorry if this is a simple question...
I name all my motors, it seems like the best practice.
I have a function which controls a motor, and I want to be able to choose which motor the function applies to when I call it. If I use a string variable in the function declaration and put this in the motor command, I get lots of array errors.
So, how do I do this?

Many thanks,
sqiddster

Re: Refer to motor in function

Do you mean something like this?


	Code: #pragma config(Motor, motorA, rightMotor, tmotorNormal, openLoop, encoder) #pragma config(Motor, motorC, leftMotor, tmotorNormal, openLoop, encoder) void SetMotorPower(tMotor motorID, int power) { motor[motorID] = power; }

I think that's it! So there's a variable type called tMotor... OK, cool. I was using a string.

Thanks!
