I have been attempting to make some code, but I am a bit new to c++ and need some help.
I cannot instantiate class Player as a pointer, because it's an "incomplete type" (or undefined type, vs says both). Below are some (simplified, albeit not very) versions of my code:
Entity.h
#pragma once
#include <vector>
class Entity
{
public:
static void init();
class EntityObject;
class Player;
static std::vector<EntityObject*> entities;
};
Entity.cpp
#include "Entity.h"
void Entity::init()
{
entities = std::vector<EntityObject*>();
}
class Entity::EntityObject
{
private:
float velX, velY, x, y;
public:
EntityObject(float xa, float ya) { x = xa; y = ya; }
float getVelX() { return velX; }
float getVelY() { return velY; }
float getX() { return x; }
float getY() { return y; }
};
class Entity::Player : EntityObject
{
public:
Player(float xa, float ya) : EntityObject(xa, ya)
{
printf("Player created");
}
};
Can anyone tell me why
#include "Entity.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv)
{
Entity::init();
Entity::EntityObject* player = new Entity::Player(10.0f, 10.0f);
Entity::entities.push_back(player);
}
gives an incomplete/undefined type? Thanks.
Edit:
The errors are:
Both errors direct to this line: Entity::EntityObject* player = new Entity::Player(10.0f, 10.0f);
Error (active) E0070 incomplete type is not allowed
Error C2027 use of undefined type 'Entity::Player'
