need help writing classes in c++

Started by

well i am pretty new to learning how to use classes now and after getting some help from people on this board i tried implementing classes into my program... well i changed everything . I am working on a simple and small text based RPG, and i moved most of my functions and re-wrote them into functions of an enemy and player class. and now when it compiles i get 35 errors.... all of them have to do with when i send an object to a function(the function that recieves the object could be in main or in another class)... that function never heard of any of the objects variables or internal functions... in fact i even get an error when i pass the object itself, at the line of it being passed. like enter_combat(player &current_player, enemy &monster) at this line i get an error and its even saying its never heard of either of these objects. can anyone help? here is the source. please let me know what im doing wrong. thanks

ps i kept everything public because i didnt want to write accessor functions if i couldnt write the classes properly in the first place. (apparently i couldnt)


also in my code, hitman is the object of enemy, instead of monster, this enemy is called "hitman". i couldnt think of a better name.

but i see you just call the value enemy_health without identifieng from where it comes.
you handle these variables like global ones not the ones from the enemy class.

something like this:

class a
{
public:
int bla;

a();
~a();
};

a foo;

foo.bla

will work.


second:
current_player.use_stamina(used_stamina); <--- well thats quite some bogus.
just leave the "current_player." away and it will work fine or use this:
this->use_stamina(used_stamina);

and because you define the class enemy after the class player the player class can't use it because it just don't know about it.
solution: put a class enemy; and a class player; at the beginning of your file and its fine.

another tip:
use header files for the class definitions (seperate ones are nice because of the modularity effect) also put the source in seperate files (same reason as with the header files)

hope i helped a litte (have a little hangover *gg*)

thanks alot for your help... you cut my errors down from 35 to 21. but i have some more questions.

what does this->use_stamina(used_stamina) mean?

i understand the second half, i just dont know what this->

and does it have to be the word this, or is it non specific, and if so how do i specify it?> also, im still having problems with classes not knowing who other classes are. you said to put both class enemy and class player at the begining, i wanst sure what you meant. did you mean make 2 copies of each one at the begining? i tried that and it still wont work.

(what i did was put
class enemy{
blah blah
}
class player
}
blah blah
}
class enemy
{
(again)
}
class player
{
(again)
}

and it didnt work... although i should have known it wouldnt work because it looks really stupid... so what did you mean exactly by put them both at the beginig of the file? thanks for your help man.

ok, easiest thing first ... and this is a little piece of advice you didn''t ask for, sorry. I recommend you use an "enum" for your attack type, because it will make your code read better ... with an enum your attack types would be stuff like: sword, dager ... or slashing, piercing ... or whatever you want them to be ... not ''2'' ''3'' - etc ...

but enough on that -

look at the following lines of code:

MyClass someObject();MyClass *someObjectPointer = new MyClass();someObject.Function(parameter1);someObjectPointer->Function(parameter1);(*someObjectPointer).Function(parameter1);


So you see, the * operator is used to delare an object as a pointer, and to dereference that pointer. The -> is just a special operator that applies the * operator and the . operator together, to elimate the need for (parenthesis) in very common operations, such as this:

myObjectPointer->nextOnjectPointer->hisChildPointer->value

is much nicer to read than:

(*(*(*myObjectPointer).nextObjectPointer).hisChildPointer).value

which may not even be right (cause I can''t remember precendence completely off the top of my head, and I always use the -> operator instead ...

THINK of the -> operator as the . operator, but the -> operator is for pointers, and the . operator is for non-pointers.
thanks.. but how do have it so my one class knows of the other classes functions/variables right away? what do i have to do???????? heeelp this is causes 21 errors in my program and im dying to see my program run with the newly added objects

The easiest way for classes to know about each other is to declare them friends, but that should only be used in cases where it makes sense (a FileManager should be allowed to access the internals of all File objects it manages). I haven''t read through your code, but I think that better design would get rid of the interdependencies between classes. So in other words declaring friends would make it a quick hack, which you should then proceed to fix immediately.

Also, urging us to help you isn''t going to make the answer any easier. Neither is saying "only 21 errors" left, even though it may feel better to give your program a number to describe its problems.
so, how do i let classes know about each other? i have to declare them friends? how do i do this??? also, you say this is just a quick fix, then how should i fix this in a good, long term way? i just dont understand because in a different post i posted yesterday, zahlman told me instead of sending a value of an object, you send the entire object as a reference and then call the part of the object you wanted to use. but how do i do this if the class never heard of the object? (because that objects class was declared before the first class.)

Header file
// This is the part Zeon was talking about.class Player;class Enemy;// Notice no {}''s. These statements are declarations, and later// you will provide definitions. It''s basically the same as when// you do something like// int foo;// and later// foo = 1;// instead of all at once.

Source file
class Player {  // I can refer to the "Enemy" class in here now  // since the header told the compiler that I am going to define it.  // Declare the methods of this object.  // We could define them in here instead, by using {} instead of  // ; and putting the code inside the {}.  // Sometimes you will see this whole "class Player" block inside   // the header file, with the code being in the source file. You   // shouldn''t ever put real code in your header file though, as a   // rule.  public:  void doSomething(Enemy & enemy);  int foo;}class Enemy {  // Similarly, I can refer to "Player" in here.  // Without the pre-declaration, I could still refer to "Player"  // in here (assuming that class definition compiled OK).

Note:  // (1) that''s not a pointer, so we use . rather than ->.  // (2) This method belongs to Player, which isn''t allowed to  // access anything private or protected in Enemy.  // Restricting yourself like that is a Good Thing; it lets you  // make changes within Enemy without having to worry about the  // rest of the code (unless you change the "public interface"  // of Enemy). }void myFunction(Enemy &hitman, Player &you) {  // This is a normal function that doesn''t belong to any object.  // You could use it as a wrapper for the classes, like:  you.doSomething(hitman);  // You can''t use "this" in here, because there''s nothing that  // it could refer to!}int main(int argc, char **argv) {  // Here''s your entry point.

thanks for the help, but i cant figure out what im doing wrong. im still getting errors. here is the source
