Runtime 6 - Overflow ? - JohnY - 25-07-2007
I was working on my inventory and when I try to login to my game
I get Runtime 6, Overflow, it highlights this:
![[Image: overflowxv2.png]](http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6581/overflowxv2.png)
Does anyone know what causes overflow?
I tried to figure out the answer, but couldn't find anything usefull.
EDIT: I tried making a new character and login.
Now I get runtime 9 - Subscript out of range.

I'm guessing you're trying to set it as a number too high.
Hover your mouse over "invslot" and screenshot it, and also take a screenshot with your mouse hovering over "itemnum"

JUst add a small checK:
Code:
If invslot < 0 or invslot > MAX_INV then exit sub
if itemnum < 0 or itemnum > MAX_ITEMS then exit subRe: Runtime 6 - Overflow ? - Robin - 25-07-2007
If I were you, I'd only use checks like that during release, otherwise there wont be a nice yellow bar telling you where your source is fucked until you learn to follow packets and code trails.

Lol, u guys kinda helped me understand a new part of VB6.
Although I'm pretty new to VB6, I have lots of experience in coding in Java, wich isn't lots of different from VB6.
Although I didn't realise that this Overflow error had to do anything with my inventory slots increasing my max slots, I made 32 of these while my max was set to 24.
Thank you both for helping me out.

Now problem, but tbh most languages are alike in the way they are executed.
Once you know one, it's usually easier to learn another.
Glad to have helped ;D
