Public Variables in Classes C++

Question

In this code I have somehow messed up the inheritance. How can my classes access public variables from other classes without it failing. Here is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

class Hero{
public:
int power;
int health;
};
class Enemy : public Hero{
public:
std::string type;
int power;
int health;
virtual void attack(){
player.health -= monster.power;
}
};
class Monster : public Enemy : public Hero{

};

int main(){
Hero player;
Enemy monster;
player.power = std::rand() % 70 - 10 + 1;
player.health = std::rand() % 200 - 300 + 1;
monster.health = std::rand() % 200 - 300 + 1;
monster.power = std::rand() % 70 - 10 + 1;
std::cout << "Player power: ";
std::cout << player.power;

return 0;

Answer 1

Also it looks like the monster and player objects declared within main are not known within the attack() virtual function of the Enemy class. Perhaps you want to pass in a reference to a Hero object into it and use the this keyword?? As in:

virtual void attack(Hero &player) {
player.health -= this->power;
}

Answer 2

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) You are redeclaring variables power and health in your derived class. These variables will shadow the public variables in your base class.

class Hero{
public:
int power;
int health;
};
class Enemy : public Hero{
public:
std::string type;
virtual void attack(){
player.health -= monster.power;
}
};
class Monster : public Enemy { };

Дмитрий Гурульов, возможно у тебя там проблемы с компилятором или ты создавал НЕ консольный проэкт. Выберы при создании Console Application
