Get function from another file

[Casawir 18]

Hi, is this possible to get function from another header file without inluding it, so i can avoid circural dependency.

Without including it you aren't able to call the function of another file.

Why don't you want to include it?

I get error, propably caused by circural dependency. I mean when i include PythonPlayer.h  in ActorInstanceSync.cpp im getting weird errors

Which error do you get?

I want to change this part of code:   to check if player got immune_fall - bonus( beacouse it doesnt work, maybe u got better solution to fix that bonus ? )

To do that thing i need to call function from PythonPlayer, but i cannot include header file because i get these errors:

1>d:serwersourcemainline_releaseduserinterfaceAbstractPlayer.h(42): error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'TItemPos'

and so on

That's because you are mixing libraries.

 

If you try to include PythonPlayer into an Gamelib file, it going to try to include all that's relevant to UserInterface (this has nothing to do with a circular reference). The problem is that even if you do include all the dependencies required for PythonPlayer to work, they are most likely going to conflict (on link time) with the ones on GameLib, because similar data and files are defined in each lib, plus extracting what's relevant from the stdafx.h is not fun either - each lib has their own stdafx and you can obviously not call both.

 

TL;DR: You are not going to be able to do what you are trying to do the way you are trying to do it, and even if you somehow managed, you shouldn't mix the two libraries anyway.

Yea thank u, I fixed this another way.
