Finding classes

[Quarternions]

I have a problem, I have a world object a base object and 2 other classes (zombies,Humans) Each of the 2 classes is derived from the base class.

This is for creating the classes :
[cpp]
void World::CreateZombie(float x, float y)
{
NumZombies++;
Zombie *zombie = new Zombie(x,y);
Entities.push_back(zombie);
}
void World::CreateHuman(float x, float y)
{
NumHumans++;
Human *human = new Human(x,y);
Entities.push_back(human);
}
[/cpp]
Now my humans have to find the zombies (or other way around). How can I get all the zombies on a human class so I can get their x,y coordinates ?

Thanks in advance.

Add a virtual bool IsHuman-function. Return false by default, let Human override it to return true.
You should be able to figure out the rest :)

Wow, never thought of it that simple :D, Another thought of me was to make a array with the possition of each zombie/human. Is this also oke ? (just want to know)

Human *human = new Human(this, x, y);  

Store a pointer to World inside of the entities so that they can access the other entities.

And now you can do

Human* Zombie::GetClosestHuman()
{
    Human* Closest = NULL;
    for(int i = 0; i < world->Ents.length(); i++)
    {
        if (world->Ents[0]->GetType() == HUMAN)
        {
            //Calculate shit here
        }
    }
    return Closest;
}

How would that help ô.o

There might be a singleton or a global variable.. (s)he didn't state that of being the problem.
Also, if you need this, you can use a reference, since it should never be NULL.

Human* Zombie::GetClosestHuman()

Why the *human in front of it ?

And nvm the other question.

[Blade]

To return the pointer to the human? That way you can get more than just the X/Y.

Dude, I feel so stupid, not recognizing it was the data type :hitshead:
