i have in .cpp:

template <typename T> T& SUtilsLib::Property(CBaseEntity* pBase, const char* pClass, const char* pProp)
{ 
    return *reinterpret_cast<T*>(reinterpret_cast<char*>(pBase) + FindOffset(pClass, pProp)); 
} 

template <typename T> T& SUtilsLib::Property(CBaseEntity* pBase, int index)
{ 
    return *reinterpret_cast<T*>(reinterpret_cast<char*>(pBase) + index); 
}

in .h

class SUtilsLib
{
public:
	//...
	// Set or Get an Property by name.
	template <typename T> T& Property(CBaseEntity* pBase, const char* pClass, const char* pProp);

	// Set or Get an Property by index.
	template <typename T> T& Property(CBaseEntity* pBase, int index);
	//...
};

when i try useit like:

spt_utils.Property<string_t>(pWeapon, td->fieldOffset[0]) = MAKE_STRING("new_weapon_ak47");

give unresolved external problems in VS2005.

all others funcs in spt_utils works well.

this also happen when i use inline functions in a class

how can i put that in a class without give that errors any c++ option?

thanks

Unfortunately I don't think there is a nice way. Templates are weird and different code gets generated for each type, so the template implementation must be visible to everyone (that is, in the .h file).

[PM]

There is an export keyword to allow this but very few compilers support it (the compilers that are commonly used for HL programming don't).

More info here.

Just do what BAIL said and include all the template stuff in a header file.

Arrr! You have stolen my templated entity prop code (that Nicolous gave me). I use this code in my .h file:

#ifndef _TEMPLATES_
#define _TEMPLATES_
template<typename T>
T UTIL_EntityProp(CBaseEntity* pBase, const char* sdkClass, const char* prop)
{
    // Get the offset
    int offset = UTIL_FindOffset(sdkClass, prop);

    // Check the offset
    if(offset == 0)
    {
        LogString("EntityProp", "Cannot retrieve offset for: %s.%s", sdkClass, prop);
        return NULL;
    }

    // Return
    return *reinterpret_cast<T*>(reinterpret_cast<char*>(pBase) + offset);
};
#endif

i have already it in SPT but i not use template in
so i have tryed implement template for make easy return types

template edia was given to me by 'Wuh'
