About to Pull my hair out. Lot's of code posted. Anyone help???

I''m working on a Console Arena game, and I''ve run into a problem... I have these files in my project. CItem.H CItem.CPP CCreature.H CCreature.CPP Globals.H Globals.CPP BM.H BM.CPP EQ_List.H EQ_List.CPP Function.H Function.CPP The CItem Files are the ones causing me problems. Class CItem is a BASE class with CWeapon, CArmor, and CShield derived from it. For now I''m just working with CWeapon. You can ignore the other two. I know the code below isn''t the most efficient way to do what I''m doing, but I want to learn it this way for now. So bare with me. CItem and CWeapon Declaration class CItem { public: CItem(); CItem(char* a_name, int a_weight, int a_value); char* name; int weight; int value; }; class CWeapon : public CItem { public: CWeapon(); CWeapon(char* a_name, int a_weight, int a_value, int a_dmg, int a_chancetohit); int dmg; int chancetohit; }; // //AND THE FUNCTIONS FROM THE .CPP // CItem::CItem(char* a_name, int a_weight, int a_value) { name = a_name; weight = a_weight; value = a_value; } CItem::CItem() {} CWeapon::CWeapon() {} CWeapon::CWeapon(char* a_name, int a_weight, int a_value, int a_dmg, int a_chancetohit) { CItem::CItem(a_name, a_weight, a_value); dmg = a_dmg; chancetohit = a_chancetohit; } Now for the Problem... I''m wanting to Initialize my Weapons from a list, and I have it setup like this. This is from EQ_List.H and EQ_List.CPP //EQ_LIST.H //Defines Extern Global #include "globals.h" extern CWeapon *WeaponList; //END //EQ_LIST.CPP //Sets up the Equipment Lists #include "CCreature.h" #include "CItem.h" #include "eq_list.h" CWeapon *WeaponList = new CWeapon[5]; WeaponList[0] = CWeapon("Rusty Dagger", 1, 1, 3, 0); WeaponList[1] = CWeapon("Dagger", 1, 5, 4, 0); WeaponList[2] = CWeapon("Chipped Shortsword", 3, 10, 5, 0); WeaponList[3] = CWeapon("Shortsword", 3, 25, 6, 0); WeaponList[4] = CWeapon("Tarnished Longsword", 5, 50, 7, 0); delete [] WeaponList; //Wouldn''t normally be here, but I''m just testing. Now, when I try to compile this with the rest of my program, I get a bunch of errors. See Below... C:\My Documents\Cpp\Battle Masters\eq_list.cpp(12) : error C2466: cannot allocate an array of constant size 0 C:\My Documents\Cpp\Battle Masters\eq_list.cpp(12) : error C2501: ''WeaponList'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers C:\My Documents\Cpp\Battle Masters\eq_list.cpp(12) : error C2372: ''WeaponList'' : redefinition; different types of indirection c:\my documents\cpp\battle masters\eq_list.h(7) : see declaration of ''WeaponList'' C:\My Documents\Cpp\Battle Masters\eq_list.cpp(12) : error C2440: ''initializing'' : cannot convert from ''class CWeapon'' to ''int [1]'' No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called C:\My Documents\Cpp\Battle Masters\eq_list.cpp(14) : error C2466: cannot allocate an array of constant size 0 There are more, but they are mostly repeats of this. The one that REALLY throws me is the first. "Cannot allocate an array of constant size 0"... I looked this up on MSDN and for some reason it thinks that WeaponList[0] = .... is trying to redefine an array of size zero, when actually I''m trying to set array member 0 to the Cweapon as above.. Gah, I hope this at least makes a little sense. I set this up in a different file and it compiled but when I went back to my original program and went through it line by line it just doesn''t work.... Any Suggestions? ~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris Vogel ~~~~~~~~~~~

Radagar:

Try this:

//Global.h

extern CWeapon *WeaponList;

//Global.cpp

CWeapon *WeaponList;

WeaponList = new CWeapon[5];

delete [] WeaponList;
