Rebuilding an array

[dnulho]

I am working on a project that starts by building an array. I want to have the option later to rebuild and change that array but I'm getting runtime errors that I dont understand.
Here is the code snippet.

player[] is initialized and used up here.
...
case 1: //New players
{
    cout << "How many players are there?";
    cin >> PLAYERS;

    delete[] player;
    character player[PLAYERS];

    for (int i = 0; i < PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        cout << "\nPlayer " << i+1 << ":";
        player[i].create_char();
    };
    break;
};
...
player[] is used some more down here.

You can only delete something that you created with new.

character* player = new character[PLAYERS];
delete player;
