Creating vector of objects

[Ryusko]

So I'm teaching myself c++ after having learned Java, and I'm making a basic rpg type game to do so. I'm having a hang up when trying to create a vector of Character objects that I have defined. This is the code

#include "Character.h"
#include <vector>
#ifndef _BATTLE_BASE_
#define _BATTLE_BASE_
class BattleBase{

private:
	vector<Character> * enemies;
	vector<Character> * chars;
public:

	bool attack(Character* at, Character* def);

};
#endif 

and this is the error

1>c:\users\jacob\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\balance\balance\battlebase.h(8): error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<'
1>c:\users\jacob\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\balance\balance\battlebase.h(8): error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
1>c:\users\jacob\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\balance\balance\battlebase.h(8): error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'

I haven't even tried any implementation, as it does not seem to recognize the vector definition.

#include "Character.h"
#include <vector>
#ifndef _BATTLE_BASE_
#define _BATTLE_BASE_

using std::vector; // Do either this

class BattleBase{

private:
	std::vector<Character> * enemies; // Or this. Pick one.  Don't need both.
	std::vector<Character> * chars;
public:

	bool attack(Character* at, Character* def);

};
#endif 

This should help. Also, you're declaring a pointer to a vector, not a vector of pointers, if that was what you wanted to do.

Hm....

That worked, thanks, overlooked that vectors were part of the standard lib. And it is meant to be a pointer to a vector.
