finaly a programming question from me...

i´m building a console for a rpg(text based for now). on this console i use C++ classes to make the battle caracters, so in the constructor i make all that efects that a character do when he enter in a fight:

    
caracter()
{
  // do initialization stuff

   cout << the goblin appears!!!!!;
}

but i want do the same with the the destuctors: [source] ~caracter() { cout << the goblin was destroyed!!; } but how i can destroy a object?? i know that program do this automatic when it exit the from the funtion or whoever it is doing ends(of curse i´m talking of non-global objects) but how i do it myself??? ============ Why she did that?? becouse she knows that you loved her. what?? i can be i a half-mystics and all but i´m still a woman!! -Zozma and lady Asellus.

pouya: but the delete must be use with new!! i don´t wanna deal with pointers( well, not on this moment) don´t there another way??

anom: well, i was a idiot in that post ,sorry

, i should not be so rude, since you probaly know more of programming that i do.
but you don´t get my point. i put that cout thing in my code just becouse is a simple thing and is just a demo, but in the real thing that i willing to do, i will not make any logic i just will tell the main game loop " hey ,the goblin was destroyed, you can start to make his dead animation" get it?

can''t you just put that in a method and call is Destroy() and call everything you want it to be gone?

p.s. why do you hate pointers? they''re the best feature in c++

You can also do

    
{
caracter c;
}

which should invoke the default ctor, and then the dtor.
Simply put it in a scope with the same lifespan. But it would be better if you simply used new/delete.
