sorry to bother u all but this is my question i have this code and its causing me extreme grief it compiles good but when i run the .exe file it dont work i made the code output one word so it would be easier to find bugs here is the code(divided into 4 source files): first source file: class BPlayer { private: BRoom* currentroom; public: BPlayer(BRoom* start) { *currentroom=*start; } void Explore() { currentroom->Print(); } }; second source file: #include class BRoom { public: virtual void Print() { cout <<"Hi\n"; } }; third source file: #include class CRoom : public BRoom { public: void Print() { cout <<"Blah\n"; } }; fourth source file: #include "BRoom.hpp" #include "CRoom.hpp" #include "BPlayer.hpp" int main() { BRoom* rom=new CRoom; BPlayer* player=new BPlayer(rom); player->Explore(); delete rom; delete player; return 0; }

BPlayer(BRoom* start)
{
*currentroom=*start;
}

leave out those stars so it becomes

BPlayer(BRoom* start)
{
currentroom=start;
}

and it should work.

-ector

i luv u man!!!!!
but last time i did tht i just got more errors

anywayz
i luv u man!!!!!!!

sorry i got another problem
this time i have 1 bug plaguing my direction finding function
these are the errors:
c:\rpg\BPlayer.hpp: In method `void BPlayer::Explore()'':

no matching function for call to `BRoom::ChooseDirection ()''


once again the code is cut up into 4 source files
here is the code:

source file 1:


//this is the class that will be the player
class BPlayer
{
//this part will be private
private:

//this is the variable that holds the current room player is in
BRoom* currentroom;

//this is the variable that holds next room user will be in
BRoom* nextroom;

//this part will be public
public:

//this is the constructor
BPlayer(BRoom* start)
{
currentroom=start;
}

//this is the function that explores the current room
void Explore()
{
currentroom->PrintDescription();
nextroom=currentroom->ChooseDirection();
if(nextroom!=NULL)
currentroom=nextroom;
}
};


source file 2:


//this is the class that will be the basis for all rooms
class BRoom
{
//this part will be protected
protected:

//these will be the directions in each room(some will not be viable in some rooms)
BRoom* northexit;
BRoom* southexit;
BRoom* eastexit;

//this part will be public
public:

virtual void PrintDescription();

//this is the function that prints the directions available\
virtual BRoom* ChooseDirection();

};

return 0;
}

//this is the function that prints the room description
virtual void PrintDescription();

//this is the function that prints the directions available\
virtual BRoom* ChooseDirection();

Note the \ at the end of the second comment. *nods* Toast it.
It''s the line continuation marker. It means the line:
virtual BRoom* ChooseDirection();

Is also taken as being a comment.

omg
thanx man
