Cory's Seperate camera tutorial compilation Error

by Antonios Dimitrelis · in Technical Issues · 04/01/2008 (2:49 am) · 3 replies

Hello everybody! :)

In our project we are facing a big problem with the camera and I was hoping to get some help here in case that someone solved this one.

What the problem is that we are getting overloaded function errors everytime we are adding his code into the latest Torque Build (TGE 1.5.2).

If anyone has a solution on this or a updated code that might function with the latest torque build it would be greatly appreciated if you could share your knowledge with me. :)

Thanks a lot in advance!

Im not too good at C++, but "overloading function errors" sounds to me like you are trying to declare a function that has exactly the same function signature as another function. Remove the old function and keep the new one.

Also, what kind if compiler do you use?

I am receiving those errors and I am following what is in the documentation. The compiler I am using is Visual C++ 2005 Express. For the overloaded error the arguments are the same but asking for different declared variables. From the tutorial beginning is where the problem begins. http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=4720

I added these to GameConnection.cc right after the console method for getControlObject:

ConsoleMethod( GameConnection, setCameraObject, bool, 3, 3, "(ShapeBase object)")
{
ShapeBase *gb;
if(!Sim::findObject(argv[2], gb))
return false;

object->setCameraObject(gb);
return true;
}

ConsoleMethod( GameConnection, getCameraObject, S32, 2, 2, "")
{
argv;
SimObject* cp = object->getCameraObject();
return cp ? cp->getId(): 0;
}

ConsoleMethod( GameConnection, clearCameraObject, void, 2, 2, "")
{
object->setCameraObject(NULL);
}

That is where my problem and only problem of the overloaded function.
