Why can I not dereference this MyPolygon pointer?? It is declared here:
Code:
class Breakout
{
public:
Breakout( );
~Breakout( );
Ball* getBall( ) { return &ball; }
void run( );
void testCollisions( );
//data members
private:
Ball ball;
FrameRate fRate;
MyPolygon* boundaries[ 4 ];
void defineBoundaries( );
};
but when I try to dereference it here:
Code:
void Breakout::testCollisions( )
{
//need to test for intersection wiht boundaries[ 0 ], the top polygon
if( intersectPolygon( *boundaries[ 0 ], *ball.getDirection( ), 4 ) )
cout << "HIT" << endl;
}
I get this error - error C2665: 'intersectPolygon' : none of the 2 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'class MyPolygon'
I've never seen this error before, it normally tells me what I am supposed to be converting it to - but it doesnt
Oh and here is theintersectPolygon() prototype if its any use:
bool intersectPolygon( MyPolygon poly, Vector3d* line );
thx in advance
