My problem is I have 3 arrays that reprisent the spread of light from a light source.
Lights1[3][3]
Lights1[5][5]
Lights1[7][7]
and i want to read through my lightmap, when i find a light i want to read through the applicable Lights array and draw the llighting effect to my tiles.
Here is the code that works out which Lights array i need to start reeding.
int Brightness = Lights[x][y]; // Gets value form the lightmap, either 3,5, or 7
int (*lp)[Brightness];// Makes pointer to point at elements of the correct array
switch(Brightness)
{
case 3: lp = Lights1; //point at the 1st element of the [3][3] array with a int[3] pointer
break;
case 5: lp = Lights2;//point at the 1st element of the [5][5] array with a int[5] pointer
break;
case 7: lp = Lights3; //point at the 1st element of the [7][7] array with a int[7] pointer
break;
}
I get that it doesnt like me declaring the pointer with with Brightness... but why an how should i resolve this.
here are the compiler errors:
cannot convert `int[3][3]' to `int (*)[((unsigned int)((int)Brightness))]' in assignment
cannot convert `int[5][5]' to `int (*)[((unsigned int)((int)Brightness))]' in assignment
cannot convert `int[7][7]' to `int (*)[((unsigned int)((int)Brightness))]' in assignment
I'm sure im missing somthing obvious... Thanks.
