Loose Ends.

Ok so I have design and written up my inventory for my game using vectors, I have created various other bits n bobs, the part that has hindered me the most is how to go about structuring the moving between my areas.

I had a thread on this, and now I know how the moving works, I just need a bit of correction on the way I should integrate this into my game structure.

I know the way I have done it is not desireable but Im no pro at the moment.

My basic plan is to split my 3 stories into 3 functions, which are split into 3 files.

Now this compiles and runs the way it is except it does not execute the void storyone() function. It just skips it and ends the program.

Maybe something to do with putting it in a header file, but I was told it is bad to include .cpp files are they are compiled separately.

Note: this is mostly group of examples I have put together to help with my understanding so its very rough.

main.cpp

Code:

---

    cout << "Easy,Normal or Hard. \n1\t2\t3\n\n";
    int iTempDifficulty;
    cin >> iTempDifficulty;
        do {                                                                                                                  // Do While -

        if (iTempDifficulty == 1) {                                                                                      // Set Case If
            iGlobalLevelChoice = 1;
        }
        else if (iTempDifficulty == 2) {                                                                                  // Set Case If
            iGlobalLevelChoice = 2;
        }
        else if (iTempDifficulty == 3) {                                                                            // Set Case If
            iGlobalLevelChoice = 3;
        }
        else {                                                                                                            // If none above then do
            cout << "Invalid selection! \nPlease choose a level,\n\n EASY \t Normal \n HARD \n\n";
        }
    } while (iGlobalLevelChoice == 0);


    cout << "\nNow that we are all set up; let the game begin.................................. \n\n";

    cout << "\n\n";

    void storyone();

story1.h

Code:

---

void storyone()

 {  bla bla bla ......
}

Aliaks, you need to remove the void from the call to storyone(). The compiler treats what you have as a function declaration.

To call a function, you type its name, and the name of any parameters you want to pass between the ( and ), separated by a comma (,).
Do NOT type the return type of the function. Then it's interpreted as a declaration.

So thats why none of my others worked either! Thanks for clearing that up :)

And it is fine to have each story in a function which is in a header?


It just came back with this as an debug error but this file is included into the header file :S

Code:

---

void User::vSetUserName(string sUsername)
{
    m_sUsername = sUsername;            //Store the contents of sUsername in m_sUsername
}

---

Both the iTempAge and the sTempUserName are externs and there is no name mis match :S

Don't put implementations in headers. Implementations is the code you fill the functions with.
Put the function prototypes in the header and the implementations in the source files.

the code I postred above is in a .cpp file

It was in response to this:

Also, do NOT include .cpp files, if you did that. They are compiled separately.

The class implementation source file must include the header that contains the class declaration for the class it's implementing. In your case, classes.h.
It's also a good idea to split each class into its own file to make it better organized.

And finally, you need to read this: Do not remove parameter names (click me!)
