Object array. Probelm accessing methods

Hi, in the program I am writing I have placed several objects of the same class in an array. When I try and access a public method of one of the objects from a different .cpp file, it displays several error messages even though the object array is global. I have abridged versions of the files below. Any ideas?

Code:

---


// main .cpp file
#include <iostream>
#include "Room.h"

using namespace std;

CRoom Rooms[14]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14};

void main()
{

        title();

        Rooms[1].set_door(0,2,0,1);
        Rooms[2].set_door(7,1,9,11);
        Rooms[3].set_door(9,0,0,10);
        Rooms[4].set_door(0,10,0,0);

// ...etc etc

// another .cpp file

#include <iostream>
#include "Player.h"

using namespace std;

CPlayer::~CPlayer()
{

}

void CPlayer::move(int direction)
{
    Rooms[1].set_door(1,2,3,4);

// errors occurs when this line is include e.g.
// 'Rooms' : undeclared identifier
// subscript requires array or pointer type
// left of '.set_door' must have class/struct/union type

}

---

In your other source file, put:
extern CRoom Rooms[14];
This lets the compiler know that Rooms has been declared and defined elsewhere.

Also, 'void main' is bad, 'int main' is good. For a thorough explanation of this, consult the FAQ.

Cheers

erm, I get less errors now. Here the code as it looks now:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include "Player.h"

extern CRoom Rooms[14]; // newly added

using namespace std;

CPlayer::~CPlayer()
{

}

void CPlayer::move(int direction)
{
      Rooms[1].set_door(1,2,3,4);
}

---

Now the errors I get are:

missing ';' before identifier 'Rooms'
unexpected end of file found

I tried editing it and moving it around. Am I just being a bit stupid and putting it in the wrong place or something?

> extern CRoom Rooms[14]; // newly added
Put this in rooms.h

Then
#include "rooms.h"

ah... I was being a bit stupid. Works perfectly now. Thanks!
