Memx container of references load method - compiler error

Harry · 08-15-2011 11:32 PM

I want to load saved Memx container of references but I have an error on compilation step which shows me that something is wrong with this line:

Code:

T1(TYPE) Bool Memx<TYPE>::load(File &f)  {clear(); REP(f.getInt(      ))    if(!New().load(f))return false; return true;}

in Templates.h.

Error:

Code:

1>d:\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\esenthelengine\misc\templates.h(305) : error C2171: '!' : illegal on operands of type 'void'

1>        d:\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\esenthelengine\misc\templates.h(305) : while compiling class template member function 'Bool EE::Memx<TYPE>::load(EE::File &)'

1>        Expressions of type void cannot be converted to other types

Here is some part of my code:

Code:

Memx<Reference<Game::Kinematic>> sign;

if(!sign.load(f))return false;

If you ask why I want have this here is the answer:

I want create a container of mission pointers, characters which are mission targets etc. and I need to have to them acces even when they aren't in the visible area of world. I tried use just REPA(sign)sign[i].save(f); REPA(sign)sign[i].load(f); but I have some problems because if I save game with sign valid and then during the game I delete it then after loading I have no signs. There are just Kinematic objects which aren't stored in memx container.

Is there any better way in my problem?

//save
sign.save(f);

//load
sign.clear(); REP(f.getInt())sign.New().load(f);

Thanks, anyway it doesn't solve my problem. After loading I have immediately error in this part:

Code:

if(sign.elms())

{

     if(Dist(sign[0]().matrix.pos() .....)

}

sign.elms() shows me that there is 1 valid element and when I'm trying go through sign container and get index of this element I get -1.

EDIT: Ok, nevermind. I had commented linking references grin
