my code is a little sloppy right now because i moved my while into its own function

[L E G I O N]

i HAVE included using namespace std;

in my library.h

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#include "Items.h"
#include "Armor.h"
#include "Weapons.h"

#include "Entity.h"
#include "Monster.h"
#include "Player.h"

#include "Globals.h" 

all the errors im getting are intellisense errors... .

if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated

You didn't tell us what the errors are or what lines they're on. In fact, you didn't even tell us there was a problem. All you did was paste a giant glob of text. What kind of response were you looking for?

To answer your question: no, cout is not ambiguous. It's quite well defined.

all the errors im getting are intellisense errors... .

If it's compiling without error then your code is fine.

If there are intellisense errors in code that compiles OK, then something is wrong with the intellisense.

I wouldn't worry about it.

[L E G I O N]

lol there's 41 errors here they are.....

38 IntelliSense: this declaration has no storage class or type specifier c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\runes of sarnac 2.0\runes of sarnac 2.0\battle.cpp 202

34 IntelliSense: identifier "pstr" is undefined c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\runes of sarnac 2.0\runes of sarnac 2.0\battle.cpp 195

33 IntelliSense: identifier "player" is undefined c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\runes of sarnac 2.0\runes of sarnac 2.0\battle.cpp 195

37 IntelliSense: identifier "monster" is undefined c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\runes of sarnac 2.0\runes of sarnac 2.0\battle.cpp 200

25 IntelliSense: expression must have (pointer-to-) function type c:\users\x d y n a s 7 y\desktop\afternoon\runes of sarnac 2.0\runes of sarnac 2.0\battle.cpp 90


anyways alot of them are cout is ambigous and alot more of these are repeated... if you want i can zip the .sin and you can take a look at the whole thing because there's about 10 or 12 headers/cpp files...

[Disch]

Well again.... those are intellisense errors, so they don't matter.

If the code is compiling ok then there's no problem. Don't worry about it. It's just your intellisense being dumb.

Maybe try cleaning the solution and rebuilding.

it doesent build....

Double check your braces. You probably have mismatching braces somewhere.

It would be a lot easier to spot if you indented properly.

If you don't find it by the time I get home from work I'll give it another look.

[L E G I O N]

thanks man...

i've formatted selection like 5 times... and its still messing up...

[Disch]

Line 79:

					if(target > 0 && target <= count)
					{
						// check if target is alive
						if(list[target].GetHealth() > 0)
						{
							//attack the target
							AttackMonster(player,&list(choice-1))
							break;
						}
						else
						{
							cout << "Invalid monster.\n\n";
						}
//  Missing } here, it looks like
					else if(target == 0)

that seemed to fix the problem
thanks for all your help i appreciate it
