Different inherited class objects in same list?

kzar · 2006-01-04T16:24:18

Suppose I have a class called cEntity as the basic entity class and then cOgre, cPlayer and cTrap all inherited from cEntity. Would it be possible to make a list that could store instances of all the different class's like ogre and trap mixed up together? Thanks

You need to use

(*current_entity)->update();

I have roughly coded most of the stuff I was thinking of now but I am getting an odd error.

"entity.cpp:33: error: request for member `update' in `*(&current_entity)->std::_List_iterator<_Tp>::operator-> [with _Tp = cEntity*]()', which is of non-class type `cEntity*'"

(line 33 is the current_entity->update(); line neer the bottom here)

*** Source Snippet Removed ***

Any ideas? Thanks

try:

(*current_entity)->update();
