Class problems

the way that you have it now is that weapon is a super class and thing class derive from weapon. What you want is to make thing the base class then have weapon derive from it, then you can do "self" = weapon object.

Well, my base class is thing... =)

weapon is a subclass in thing, if that''s what u meant?

I would want it to be somewhat like this...

void weapon::GiveWeapon(int nr)
{
= WeaponSystems[nr];
};

oh... wait...


doh!!

:D




everything went fine once I started using my brain... :D
I just removed the "=" and it worked...

thanx anyway!! :D

hehe...

I must be dehydrated or something today... just because it compiled doesn''t mean it works, right? =S


well, back where I started...
any ideas?

please?

Can somebody help me with this??

I''m out of ideas....

I got this....



class thing :
public weapon,
public body
//...
{
//....

};


Isn't thing the main class then?? =/



Yes, I believe that is what I want to do... but when I type "this = WeaponSystems[nr];" is says "Assignment to 'this' is not allowed, use X::operator new instead"

Ok.. =)

but i want all items to be "things", since then I could use


for (int i=0; i < 10000;i++)
Things[ i ]->Draw();


I found out that I can use following code instead;

void weapon::GiveWeapon(int nr)
{
WeaponStrength = WeaponSystems[nr]->WeaponStrength;
WeaponRange = WeaponSystems[nr]->WeaponRange;
WeaponReloadTime = WeaponSystems[nr]->WeaponReloadTime;
WeaponTimeToReload = WeaponSystems[nr]->WeaponTimeToReload;
WeaponType = WeaponSystems[nr]->WeaponType;
WeaponMaxAmmo = WeaponSystems[nr]->WeaponMaxAmmo;
WeaponCurrentAmmo = WeaponSystems[nr]->WeaponCurrentAmmo;
NameWeapon = WeaponSystems[nr]->NameWeapon;
};


this works, but is more awkward than the version I had in mind.... if I add a variable to the weapon class, I have to add the variable in the "GiveWeapon()" too.... well well, not a big problem.. just awkward.. =)


thanks for your time anyway!!

You can still do

for (int i=0; i < 10000;i++)
Things[ i ]->Draw();

With this method...

Look more into class inheritance and you should understand why Weapon and Armor should inherit from Thing rather than the other way around.

Kaezins right, your current system has ''thing'' as a subclass of ''weapon'', not the other way round. Youd definitely want it to be:

class thing
{
// common members to all classes
// + common virtual functions (eg:virtual void Draw())
}

class weapon: public thing
{
// implementation
}

Ok, =)

I think I got this now...
Right now I got it like this...

class physics
{
public:
//lots of physics stuff
private:
};

class things :
public physics
{

weapon *Weapon;

};



will it be possible to change the weapon by doing this:

Things[ i ]->Weapon = ListOfWeapons[ 5 ];

?

I''m not at home right now, so I cant check it myself...
Eager to know! :D

thanx for your help! I''m a total newb to classes, especially with inheritance and such... I''ve been using structs before.. =)
