Game::World.setAreaData

How do you set a custom area data struct? Do you need a license or something, or am I just doing this wrong?

PHP Code:

struct CustomAreaData : Game::Area::Data {}

bool Init()
{
    // ...
    Game::World.setAreaData<CustomAreaData>();
} 

Produces the following error:

Code:

error C2664: 'CustomAreaData::CustomAreaData' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'EE::Game::Area' to 'CustomAreaData &'

Anyone have any idea? Esenthel perhaps? smile

perhaps you're missing constructor

I believe I tried messing with constructors before making this thread, but I was still getting errors. Using Header Browser, I figured out I needed this constructor:

PHP Code:

struct CustomAreaData : Game::Area::Data
{
   CustomAreaData(Game::Area &area) {}
} 

But, this gives a new error:

Code:

error C2512: 'EE::Game::Area::Data' : no appropriate default constructor available

Not sure how to get around this.

Also, shouldn't the CustomAreaData constructor being setting T._area as well? I can't do that since it's private.

You have to create a empty constructor as well.. like it says "no appropriate default constructor available"

Already tried that. All that does it make the error occur twice instead of once.

It's saying 'EE::Game::Area::Data' has no appropriate default constructor, not 'CustomAreaData', which is correct however, EE::Game::Area::Data does not have a default constructor, only this:

PHP Code:

Data(Area &area); 

So it must not need a default constructor, not sure why it's giving me this error...

Code:

struct CustomAreaData : Game::Area::Data

{

   CustomAreaData(Game::Area &area) : Game::Area::Data(area) {}

}

Sweet! Thanks, Esenthel. It works perfectly now! Not sure if I ever would have thought to do that...
