Creating a object class with a datablock?
by Johnathan Moore · in Torque Game Engine · 03/30/2006 (12:46 pm) · 8 replies
Hi,
As the title says im trying to create a new object class with a datablock. Theyre subclasses of simobject and simdatablock. But when it comes to compile the lines implementing the object, in the source, it spews up a load of errors. The datablock on its own compiled without a problem.
Does anyone know why?

What are the first 10 lines of the compile log now?

They should look like:
and
in the headers.

Your constructor and destructors are wrong in the header file. At first glance, it looked like you tried to inline them, but you also declare them in the source file.They should look like:
RTSSquadData(); ~RTSSquadData();
and
RTSSquad(); ~RTSSquad();
in the headers.
#7
class RTSSquad : public SimObject
{
...
}

You also seem to be missing the semicolon after the closing curly brace of this class:class RTSSquad : public SimObject
{
...
}
