I know this is possible to do and need to do it, however I have never seen any examples of it being done and am getting no where with trial and error

Could someone please post an example of how this is done

Crappy example, but:

Type alien
	Field energy
End Type


Dim a.alien(10,10)


For x = 0 To 10
For y = 0 To 10
	a(x,y) = New alien
	a(x,y)\energy = Rand(100)
Next
Next

If you make a type that has a field like AlienType% and you only want to process a certain type of aliens it is much better to use an array for that type of alien instead of this sort of code ...

For a.Alien = each Alien
   If a\AlienType = 1 then
      ;some code
   EndIf
