Need a more experienced programmer

[Corewarp]

Vague thread title is vague.

Quick Facts:

Language: C++
Engine: Source Engine
Experience Level Needed: Intermediate-Advanced.

Alright so, I need a more experienced programmer who has messed with the Source Engine. Preferably with quite a bit of free time on his hands. I don't need help with anything too complex and I'm quite surprised I can't figure out what to do myself but if anyone is up for helping me then I'd be very appreciative.

Probably going to need to share a bit more information than that.

Basically, I'm messing around with some stuff in the source code to get better at coding. All I need is someone who already knows about how the source engine works, code wise, and someone well-versed in C++. Pretty simple actually

Vagueish example of what's wrong right now:




The CON_COMMAND isn't working and it's because of the CInventory.CreateInventory();
I just can't understand why.

You've declared InventoryList as a local variable, which I'm pretty sure is not what you actually want to do. Once the function reaches it's end the vector will go away. You want to declare it as a member variable, outside of a function. That way it'll exist as long as the object exists in memory. This is a big issue, but not the reason why it's not compiling

CInventory isn't an object, you're trying to call a method on a class which doesn't work unless it's static. CreateInventory() is not a static method, you could fix your compile error by making it so, but you'd need to use the "::" operator to call it, not the "." operator.

Also, your second function doesn't have a name. CON_COMMAND is the return type, and you've (partially) listed two parameters but you've failed to declare their types. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do with that section of code because it doesn't really look like C++.

Moral of the story is that there are quite a few things wrong with this (probably more than I listed).

If you want to want to post a more specific description of what you want to do then I'd be willing to help in a more detailed way. Sounds like you just want to get it to compile, but even if you get it to compile it won't be doing what you think it is.

This is the kind of help I'm talking about. However, I'd much prefer to be on Skype & Teamviewer with both of us able to look at all the code in real time.

I realized that I was probably doing something horribly wrong and you addressed the main issues. However I'm still not sure what my best course of action would be so.. Skype anyone?
