I am making a 3D FPS, and I need a way to make a pointer to my weapon objects. How can I make a pointer class, so when I type CurrentGun.Shoot(); it shoots the gun set by CurrentGun = AssaultRifle;

This will get you started.

class BaseGun{    virutal int Shoot();}class AssaultGun : public BaseGun{}AssaultGun::Shoot(){    //.. Take care of your shooting...}

Hope this helps.

Sort of, Im a little confused.

I have one class named Gun.

I am creating CurrentGun and AssaultRifle.

I always used CurrentGun for actions like shoot.
I need it to update and keep values for AssaultRifle.

Is AssaultRifle a class or an object? CurrentGun is supposed to be a pointer to any weapon, right?

Gun* pCurrentGun = &AssaultRifle pCurrentGun->Shoot();

Where AssultRifle's class inherits from Gun and Gun's Shoot method is virtual.

If that's not what you want, please clarify (What classes and objects do you have?).
