Can I have some some help with this project?

Question

Two objectives (P1 and P2) of class 'Players' will store variables with unique values each one(P1.damage=2, P2.damage=5 for example and 30 more The problem is that I want to pass these values in an other class 'MainGame' and access their variables from there. I tryied to use Inheritance but if class 'MainGame' needs to return a value will that value be of player1 or player2? Ex GetDamage() {return damage;}Player1.damage isnt possible

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

/* In this code, MainGame is a friend class of Player, and so can access all the private members of the Player Class. Hope this helps. */

class Player
{
int damage, speed;
public:
void properties();
friend class MainGame;
};

void Player::properties()
{ cin>>damage>>speed; }

class MainGame
{
Player* instance;
public:
MainGame() {instance=nullptr;}
void PlayWith(Player&);
int GetDamage();
};

void MainGame::PlayWith(Player& P)
{ instance=&P; }

int MainGame :: GetDamage()
{
if(instance!=nullptr)
return instance->damage;
else throw 0;
// Indicates error during access.
}

int main() {

Player Player1, Player2;
Player1.properties();
Player2.properties();
MainGame Game;
Game.PlayWith(Player1);
// Play the game by selecting P1.
cout<<Game.GetDamage();

return 0;
}

Answer 2

Thats not what I meant. But it seems that I was not able to understand your query.

But first, try changing void to int or to the type of damage variable.

Answer 3

Maybe you can try to make a derived class MainGame from base class Player, and in the function pass an object of type Player to access its damage variable?

Answer 4

Ill just post the code.

Answer 5

I accidently made that void now. Anyway would it be difficult for you sent edit my code and sent it to me? I think that I haven't understand your response. Sorry for bothering you

Answer 6

This is very smart I hope it works as I wanted. thank you so much!

Answer 7

Let's say that I pass the objective into the class by reference>

void GiveData(Player &P1){this->P1 = P1}

//and I cal the method

Player1. GiveData(Player1)

//then at the getDamage function

void GetDamage() { return P1.damage}

/* this is leads to an error, I think because damage has already been declared by its mother function so it doesn't need an identifier behind it
