Weapon data in XML Files?

For a while, I've wanted to create a weapon system using XML files but I'm not sure how to do so. So instead of that, for now, I've decided to just keep doing things the way I have been by hardcoding all the weapon data. What I'd like to know is which way is better to go: Have a weapon class and hav...

Constructors

Hey, I was just wondering if there is an easier way to do something like this: So what I want to do is have player classes (classes that the player can choose such as in a RPG. E.g. Archer, Warrior, etc.) and have the information for those player classes automatically be assigned to the player like ...

Re: Help Involving Vectors/Class Inheritance

Works perfectly MV, thanks a lot! To think, I was making it a lot more complicated than it called for.

Re: Help Involving Vectors/Class Inheritance

I have no idea except that I thought that in order for pCurrWeap to equal something, It would have to equal a Weapon variableexample;. I'm not sure what I should give it to? Should I declare a variable in my weapon class to take it?

Re: Help Involving Vectors/Class Inheritance

Thanks for replying. Two hours after doing my initial post, I figured it out and then two hours after that I ran into a problem again. Hopefully, I can use your code to help figure out my problem. I'll re-explain my problem just in case others would like to give it a try but what you have looks good...

Help Involving Vectors/Class Inheritance

Hello guys. So, I have a problem involving something that is over my head which inevitably has forced me to ask questions. I have a player class and a weapon class and for a while I've been trying to figure out how to make the first tie in with the latter using class inheritance. I've solved that bu...

When should classes be used and when should structures be used in a program. Can they even be compared? Remeber I am just learning C++ so if you can explain the ...

Re: Tile map editor in BlitzPlus. Need help with collision

Sorry to blow your spot but I know for a fact that you never wrote that code. That being said if you meant that you did write the code, otherwise sorry. I just don't like seeing other people taking credit for other people's work especially when all they've done was just scratched out certain areas i...

Re: Code Help (ARCE)

So I just sat down, trying to figure out the problem and gave the code a couple tweaks. Unfortunately, I've come to realize that the whole advlog system (which was horrible and terribly written) must be wiped and redone probably as a proper TYPE or array (nah...types are better). I will have to work...

Well, I tried that and I thought It would work too but what happens instead is: Say logline2$ read "Nice bunch of chaps.", logline3$ read "Hi, name's charlie. Fancy meeting you here!" and logline4$ read "Elysian Shadows ROCK!". Using your suggestion and what I've done a...

Code Help (ARCE)

Don't mean to come with my every coding problems but I was wondering if someone with a bit of experience, preferably ARCE, in Blitz Plus could give me a hand. Well, I'm trying to create an adventure log (a text prototype at the moment) and I'm trying to create a scrolling effect. For some reason wha...
