string variables are not working in my game?

Urgh... sockets are already implicitly threaded by the OS. Non blocking sockets do everything that threading would do, without having to muck around with synchronisation.

String does not name a type when I use the function in a included file.

main.cpp

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "Random.cpp"

int main(){
    cout<<q.health;
    system("PAUSE");
    }

Random.cpp

Code: Select all

class player{
     public:
            float health;
            string random;
};
player q;
int b(){
    q.health++;
    }
int a;

thanks in advance.

you're looking for irr::core::stringc or irr::core::stringw

don't bother using std string unless you have a compelling reason

Hi,

How to concat a text like "/path/to/models" with the irrlicht stringc ?

For example:

stringc modelName;
modelName = "knight.md2";
mesh = smgr->getMesh("/path/to/models/" + modelName); <-error

You can't add two character pointers (well, you can, but it won't work as expected), so just use core::stringc and the operator+

[prchakal]

Can i suggest one thing?

You can create a overload method to :

Code: Select all

smgr->getMesh

To accept stringc, because today i have to do:

Code: Select all

smgr->getMesh(model.c_str())

Im saying it because the method:

Code: Select all

driver->getTexture

accept stringc

So i think that this method that we have to pass a string parameter can accept stringc

Its only my suggestion

That already happened for Irrlicht 1.6
