    Weird class problem!

    I am having a class named EFX_Camera defined like this:
    Code:
    struct EFX_CameraSystem
    {
        EFX_VECTOR3 position;
        EFX_VECTOR3 lookat;
    };
    
    class EFX_Camera
    {
        public:
        void SetPosition(EFX_VECTOR3 Pos);
        void SetLookAt(EFX_VECTOR3 LookAt);
    
        private:
        EFX_CameraSystem   system;
    };
    The EFX_VECTOR3 is a class with a constructor EFX_VECTOR3(float x, float y, float z) that passes the parameters values in the class member variables f_x, f_y, f_z.

    But I get the error EFX_Camera no approproate default constructor available. (VC++6)

    I do not need a constructor for this, but even if I add one, I get this error: EFX_CameraSystem no appropriate constructor available.

    Please help, I do not know how to fix this. It is weird.

    If you add a construtor that takes params, and you wish to use a default constructor, then you must explicitly include one.....the compiler will not do it for you in these circumstances.
    Code:
    struct EFX_VECTOR3{
    	EFX_VECTOR3(float x,float y,float z){fx=x;fy=y;fz=z;}
    	EFX_VECTOR3(){fx=fy=fz=0;}
    	float fx,fy,fz;
    };

    >>I do not need a constructor for this

    Ah...but you do!

    Code:
    struct EFX_CameraSystem
    {
        EFX_VECTOR3 position;
        EFX_VECTOR3 lookat;
    };
    Each of these members are relying on a default constructor

    Oh thank you. I haven't thought of it.
