I posted this on ssforum ... figured I'd post it here too, cause it's really blocking me now and I can't do anything >=(

----------------

I just started playing around with Merv stuff... but now I'm getting an error from the linker when it's building the exe:

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "private: class timerms __thiscall botInfo::testtimer(void)" (?testtimer@botInfo@@AAE?AVtimerms@@XZ) referenced in function "public: void __thiscall botInfo::gotCommand(struct Player *,struct Command *)" (?gotCommand@botInfo@@QAEXPAUPlayer@@PAUCommand@@@Z) command.obj

The bug comes from the line:

Code: Show/Hide int timervalue = testtimer().ReadTimer();

ReadTimer() is a int function of the class 'timerms'

I get linker errors anytime I call a non-void method within that class... wtf... What am i doing wrong?


Here's the relevant code... If you notice anything weird or stuff I shouldn't be doing, please tell me, even if it's not related to the problem... It's the first time I do C++

spawn.h

Code: Show/Hide [...] #include "timerms.h" [...] class botInfo {    // Put bot data here    timerms testtimer(); [...]

commands.cpp

Code: Show/Hide #include "spawn.h" [...] void botInfo::gotHelp(Player *p, Command *c) { [...] int timervalue = testtimer().ReadTimer(); //Could be any other non-void call, it does the same error [...]

timerms.h

Code: Show/Hide #include "spawn.h" #define NOT_INITIALIZED -1 class timerms {    int starttime;    int pausetime;     public:    timerms()    {       ResetTimer();    }    bool isrunning;    bool ispaused() { return (!isrunning && pausetime != NOT_INITIALIZED);}    void StartTimer(int starttime);    void StartTimer();    void PauseTimer(int pausetime);    void PauseTimer();    void ResumeTimer(int resumetime);    void ResumeTimer();    void ResetTimer();    int ReadTimer();    ~timerms()    {    } };

timerms.cpp

Code: Show/Hide #include "spawn.h" [...] int timerms::ReadTimer() {    return 0; //No matter what code in here, gives the same error }

I searched on Google and the only thing I found was about some libraries and stuff... but I'm not using any API or external dll or whatever...

Oh, and this is with Visual Studio 2005 pro

Where is the following code? It is looking for a definition of the function, but cannot find it.

Code: Show/Hide timerms botInfo::testtimer() {    //Stuff }

My guess is you wanted to define that as a variable instead of a function inside your class.

[Samapico]

testtimer is an instance of 'timerms' class

maybe I'm doing something wrong though...
But it works for all void functions... EDIT: hm no it doesn't, I thought it did for some reason... hmmm

Code: Show/Hide class botInfo {    // Put bot data here    timerms testtimer();

my declaration is probably wrong...

when calling functions of the class, should it be like:
testtimer().ResetTimer();
or
testtimer.ResetTimer();
?
For now it only lets me use the first way... which I don't think is right so.. emm..


EDIT:
OK got it lol

hmmm ok since I was declaring it as a class member, I can't call the constructor with it or anything, so it doesn't need the ()'s... mhm I seeeeeeee

thanks
