OT: Stupid c++ (Roguelike development)

[PvK]

Oh, sorry STL->std (bad human memory).

By "what syntax", I just meant what does your code look like. Yes, the line you wrote is the syntax I was trying to remember and suggest to you. Good job.

Yes, so the syntax for that would be something like:
Code:

---

// In the class definition file e.g. NarfClass.h

class NarfClass

{

    // Constructor:

    NarfClass( std::vector<Character> * pCVectorToUse );



    // Method that does something with CVector:

    void DoStuffWithCVector();



    // The static storage of the Character Vector:

    static std::vector<Character> * pCVector;

};

---

Code:

---

// In the class definition file e.g. NarfClass.cpp

#include "NarfClass.h"



NarfClass::NarfClass( std::vector<Character> * pCVectorToUse )

{

    pCVector = pCVectorToUse;

}



void NarfClass:oStuffWithCVector()

{

    int NumberOfCharactersInGame = pCVector->size();

    // etc...

}

---

Code:

---

// In the class that stores the whole gamestate:

#include "NarfClass.h"



// The actual vector:

static std::vector<Character> CVector;



// The creation of a NarfClass object:

NarfClass NarfsNarf( &CVector );



// Now NarfsNarf is an object that can do stuff with CVector.

NarfsNarf.DoStuffWithCVector();

---

I may have a typo or be missing something, but that's about how I'd do it.

Thanks again.

For syntax, I tend to go with the needs of the moment.

So, you mean make a handler class for the Character class?

How do you declare something 'extern'?
