C2143: Missing ';' before '*'

Hallo,

I've had a look online and I can't seem to find any solutions to this problem (bet you've heard that one before).

I'm getting this error
"Cloud.h(50) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*'"

#ifndef _RAIN_H
#define _RAIN_H

#include "engine.h"

class Rain
{
public:
	Rain();

	~Rain();

	void Initialise(double dPosX,double dPosY);

	void Activate(Vector2D* pvPos);

	void Deactivate();

	Sprite* m_psRain;

};

#endif /*_RAIN_H*/


I've checked every other header for a missing semicolon, but can't seem to find anything, and the code compiles and works fine if I remove the "Rain* m_pRain;" and all the relevant Rain bits. Am I missing something really obvious?

Many Thanks!

I think the problem is that you have void Rain(); inside Cloud, that could cause ambiguities

That solved it =) Thank you!

I had originally commented it out to see if that was the problem, and it didn't work, but I got rid of the virtual functions from the parent classes and it worked.

Thanks again!
