array of pointer objects

Okay..
I have and object named Enemy_1. I need 5 of these objects. So I created five:

Code:

---

        Enemy_1 *Enemy[1] = new Enemy_1;
        Enemy_1 *Enemy[2]= new Enemy_1;
        Enemy_1 *Enemy[3]= new Enemy_1;
        Enemy_1 *Enemy[4]= new Enemy_1;
        Enemy_1 *Enemy[5]= new Enemy_1;

---

and then externed them

Code:

---

extern        Enemy_1 *Enemy[1];
extern        Enemy_1 *Enemy[2];
extern        Enemy_1 *Enemy[3];
extern        Enemy_1 *Enemy[4];
extern        Enemy_1 *Enemy[5];

---

Then assign various values to them using a for loop like so:

Code:

---

for(i=1;i<6;i++)
{
                          Enemy[i]->Enemy1_Sprite->Picture->LoadFromFile("ship-5.bmp");
}

---

And boy does the compiler not like em!(Borland c++ Builder 6, win xp)

these are the errors i get:

With the extern part:

Code:

---

[C++ Error] Global_Var.h(6): E2356 Type mismatch in redeclaration of 'Enemy'
  [C++ Error] Global_Var.h(5): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'Enemy'

  [C++ Error] Global_Var.h(9): E2356 Type mismatch in redeclaration of 'Enemy'
  [C++ Error] Global_Var.h(5): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'Enemy'

---

With the declare part

Code:

---

[C++ Error] Lvl1.h(15): E2034 Cannot convert 'Enemy_1 *' to 'Enemy_1 *[1]'
  [C++ Error] Lvl1.h(16): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'Enemy'
  [C++ Error] Lvl1.h(15): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'Enemy'
  [C++ Error] Lvl1.h(16): E2034 Cannot convert 'Enemy_1 *' to 'Enemy_1 *[2]'
  [C++ Error] Lvl1.h(17): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'Enemy'

  [C++ Error] Lvl1.h(18): E2034 Cannot convert 'Enemy_1 *' to 'Enemy_1 *[4]'
  [C++ Error] Lvl1.h(19): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'Enemy'

  [C++ Error] Lvl1.h(19): E2034 Cannot convert 'Enemy_1 *' to 'Enemy_1 *[5]'

---

and where I try to use them:

Code:

---

  [C++ Warning] Lvl1.h(35): W8004 'Enemy' is assigned a value that is never used
  [C++ Warning] Lvl1.h(35): W8004 'Enemy' is assigned a value that is never used
  [C++ Warning] Lvl1.h(35): W8004 'Enemy' is assigned a value that is never used
  [C++ Warning] Lvl1.h(35): W8004 'Enemy' is assigned a value that is never used

THanks for the help


Cheers

you have 5 array's named Enemy. Even if you did have different names for each of them, you are setting arrays of 2, 3, 4, and 5 Enemy_1 pointers all being set to one new enemy. That's just silly.

OMFG! I can't beleive I did that! :confused: :( :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
