Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

you should probably configure your nginx webserver to send appropriate Cache http headers for your files.

does anybody know how I can get the pointer to the struct?



void PrintAllComponents(Entity entity){
auto comp= entity.GetComponent(1);
cout << comp->HP << endl;
}

class Component
{
public:
int GetComponentID();
Entity* GetParent();
void SetParent(Entity* entity);
void SetComponentID(int ComponentID);

int ComponentID;
Entity* m_Parent;
};

struct Health : public Component
{
Health(int HP, int max);
int HP;
int max;
};

Health::Health(int maxhp , int hp){
HP=hp;
max=maxhp;
SetComponentID(1);
}

void Entity::AddComponent(Component* cmp){
m_components[cmp->GetComponentID()] = cmp;
cmp->SetParent(this);
}

struct Entity
{
Component* GetComponent(int id);
virtual void AddComponent(Component* Component);
std::map<int,Component *>m_components;
};


int main(){

Entity one;

Health test(50,30);
one.AddComponent(&test);
PrintAllComponents();
}

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

Why not just initialize it as Entity* one = new Entity();

?

Because this isn't the 90's? You [almost always] shouldn't have raw new/deletes floating around outside of constructors/destructors, especially once exceptions start coming into play. A more modern approach for a heap object would be:

std::unique_ptr<Entity>(new Entity()) entity;
// if you need a raw pointer, either assign it, or use entity.get() directly
auto rawPtr = entity.get();
Throw off those chains of reason, and your prison disappears. | Check your posting frequency timeline: http://www.teamliquid.net/mytlnet/post_activity_img.php

In any case there's a lot of other things wrong with the code sample that I'm not sure what the question is asking... seems pretty straightforward since they've already used the &test but yeah

Afaik people do cache busting by having some random number as part of query parameter. You have you webserver turn request for asset.css?cachebust=12345 to serve back asset.css.

std::shared_ptr<Entity> entity(new Entity());

is where it's at

or even
std::shared_ptr<Entity> entity = std::make_shared<Entity>()


For school assignments and stuff unless the project is pretty big I prefer just raw pointering. At some point I'll switch over to smart pointers if the project gets large large and I'm doing thread dangerous stuff, but normal pointers and references are less verbose and easier to use - I don't have to search up documentation on whether I want shared_ptr, unique_ptr, weak_ptr, swap(), reset(), get(), use_count() or other stuff. Yes I know just use shared_ptr everywhere but at that point it's almost the same as use raw pointers - I very rarely get burned from allocations and forgetting about deleting memory from the way I code and if I do it's usually because I've been overly zealous with deleting and I'm deleting a pointer twice.

Sorry I can't debug the code unless I ask, does your code compile? I'm really hoping what you posted is just random snippets of some other system...

you didn't pass the entity one to printallcomponents, entity::addcomponent is defined before you declared the entity struct, things, i can't look at that code and suggest a solution when there's just so much wrong/inconsistent already, a lot of potentially broken pathways... if you link the entire source i could be more specific...

Just looking at your code, I'd assume because you're mixing passing by value with passing pointers you're not setting things properly, just throw couts everywhere or step through gdb and you'll find somethings not set and saved properly

ok I found the problem, kinda

I am passing a Component * so I can't access the derived members variablesT_T

Shared pointer just has a threadsafe reference count attached. For projects that aren't under performance constraints, as you say, using shared pointer indiscriminately isn't an issue in the slightest. All unique pointer does is free resources when it goes out of scope (rather than when all references to it go out of scope in shared_ptr), although the lack of make_unique in c++11 obfuscates the initialisation syntax somewhat. However for the single ownership model (most of the time code can be made to fit this), unique_ptr is the wrapper of choice.

Nope, it's not. The whole idea of using derived classes when a base class is expected is that you respect interface. An interface is like a contract. Derived classes can have different behaviour but interface shouldn't be violated. On a funny note, this applies to your case.

[image loading]

Anyway, if it's the HP field that you want to access, then make it a protected field in the base class. If this isn't what you want, you should indeed reconsider design.

As far as I know, C++ prefers stack objects as much as possible. Don't be mistaken with languages like Java and C# where 'new' is a no-brainer.
