Thread: Ahhhh!

Ok, I invented a class to pass an array of ints:

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <fstream.h>
using namespace std;

class Keeper {
 private:
  SHORT zzx[5];

 public:
  Keeper() {zzx[0] = 0; zzx[1] = 0; zzx[2] = 0; zzx[3] = 0; zzx[4] = 0;}
  Keeper(SHORT z, SHORT zz, SHORT zzz, SHORT zzzz, SHORT b) {zzx[0] = z; zzx[1] = zz; zzx[2] = zzz; zzx[3] = zzzz; zzx[4] = b;}
  
  void Check(SHORT x) {zzx[x] = 1;}
  void Uncheck(SHORT x) {zzx[x] = 0;}
  void UncheckAll() {zzx[0] = 0; zzx[1] = 0; zzx[2] = 0; zzx[3] = 0; zzx[4] = 0;}
 
  int IsChecked(SHORT x);
};

int Keeper::IsChecked(SHORT x) {
 if(zzx[x] == 1)
  return 1;
 
 return 0;
}

Pritty elementary, no safety at all. But its driving my compiler nuts:

Code:

Error E2294 C:\MOPEngine.h 109: Structure required on left side of . or .* in function IsArrowDown()

*** 9 errors in Compile ***

IsArrowDown code:

Code:

Keeper IsArrowDown() {
 Keeper Zouth();

 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(0);
 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DOWN)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(1);
 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LEFT)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(2);
 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RIGHT)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(3);
 if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_ESCAPE)&SHRT_MAX)
  Zouth.Check(4);

 return Zouth;
}

Check code:

Code:

Keeper Check(Keeper x) {

 if(x.IsChecked(1)==1) {
  MoveRight();
  return 1;
 }

 if(x.IsChecked(2)==1) {
  MoveLeft();
  return 2;
 }

 return 0;
}

It seems to not enjoy the use of my class... But I dont see why its rejecting it? I can post my whole source, but its pritty long and I'd rather avoid it.

Thank you!

Lol seriously? Haha, it worked once I moved the paranthases, I didint realise I could declare a function in a function. (Does that make a sub-function only accessable to the function that declared it by any chance?) Well now I'm just left with:

[edit]
I guess I missed your last part -,-.

Thank you!
