i have this in a header file: class light { public: color amb; color dif; color spec; CVector pos; light() { amb.grey(); dif.grey(); spec.white(); pos.x = 0; pos.y = 0; pos.z = 1 ; } void setup() /// for initianzation { glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_AMBIENT,amb.givearray()); glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_DIFFUSE,dif.givearray()); glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_SPECULAR ,spec.givearray()); glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION ,pos.v); glEnable(GL_LIGHT0); } void set() /// for setting { glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION ,pos.v); } }; light ambient; void initlight() { // lights glEnable(GL_COLOR_MATERIAL); glEnable(GL_LIGHTING); ambient.setup(); glMaterialfv(GL_FRONT, GL_SPECULAR, ambient.spec.givearray()); } and it gives me a weird error ::\game002\light.h(63) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''amb'' c:\game002\light.h(63) : error C2501: ''color'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\game002\light.h(63) : error C2501: ''amb'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\game002\light.h(64) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''dif'' c:\game002\light.h(64) : error C2501: ''color'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\game002\light.h(64) : error C2501: ''dif'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\game002\light.h(65) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''spec'' c:\game002\light.h(65) : error C2501: ''color'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\game002\light.h(65) : error C2501: ''spec'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\game002\light.h(101) : error C2039: ''spec'' : is not a member of ''light'' c:\game002\light.h(61) : see declaration of ''light'' c:\game002\light.h(101) : error C2228: left of ''.givearray'' must have class/struct/union type c:\game002\glinit.h(23) : error C2039: ''amb'' : is not a member of ''light'' c:\game002\light.h(61) : see declaration of ''light'' c:\game002\glinit.h(23) : error C2228: left of ''.givearray'' must have class/struct/union type c:\game002\glinit.h(24) : error C2039: ''dif'' : is not a member of ''light'' c:\game002\light.h(61) : see declaration of ''light'' c:\game002\glinit.h(24) : error C2228: left of ''.givearray'' must have class/struct/union type c:\game002\glinit.h(25) : error C2039: ''spec'' : is not a member of ''light'' c:\game002\light.h(61) : see declaration of ''light'' c:\game002\glinit.h(25) : error C2228: left of ''.givearray'' must have class/struct/union type Error executing cl.exe. GAME002.exe - 17 error(s), 0 warning(s) Does anyone know what this could me? I dont see anything wrong with the header file i made.

oh sorry, heres color:
class color
{
public:
float r,g,b,a;

color(float pr = 0,float pg= 0,float pb = 0,float a = 1)
{
r = pr;
g = pg;
b = pb;
}
void white()
{
r = 0.5;
g = 0.5;
b = 0.5;
}

void red()
{
r = 1;
g = 0;
b = 0;
}
void green()
{
r = 0;
g = 1;
b = 0;
}
void blue()
{
r = 0;
g = 0;
b = 1;
}
void grey()
{
r = 0.1f;
g = 0.1f;
b = 0.1f;
}

float* givearray()
{
float *myarray;
myarray = new float;
myarray[0] = r;
myarray[1] = g;
myarray[2] = b;
myarray[3] = a;
return myarray;
}

};

Nope it's in there, i moved it around some and still no.
hmmm im using Visual Studio 6.0 Intruductory Version

The compiler is telling you that "color" is not a known type at the point where it''s trying to declare "light".

Probably, light will include color, which will include something else, which will ... include light, which will cause the error because color isn''t actually defined yet.

hmmm nope color doesnt include anything.

Oh wait, it just started working after i copy and pasted everything into a new project. HMmmm that was werid, oh well.
Thank you for you help
