Method maps problem

TheDS1337 · **Author**

Why I keep getting the "cannot find method or property Weapon.cost" every time I try to compile this ?

Code:

methodmap Weapon
{
        public Weapon(const char[] name, int cost)
        {
                // Things to do here
        }

        property int cost
	{
		public get() 
		{
			return this.cost;
		}
		
		public set(int value)
		{
			this.cost = value;
		}
	}
}

And how can I make a string property ? am I doing it correct here ?

Code:

        property char[] name
	{
		public get()
		{
			return this.name;
		}
		
		public set(const char[] name)
		{
			this.name = name;
		}
	}

        public int GetName(char[] name, int length)
	{
		return strcopy(name, length, this.name);
	}
	
	public void SetName(char[] name)
	{
		strcopy(this.name, sizeof this.name, name);
	}

Stuff like

PHP Code:


			
        public get() 

        {

            return this.cost;

        }

is self-referential: this.cost calls get(), which references this.cost, which calls get(), and so on. Methodmaps are not actual classes and so they don't create new memory for a "cost" member variable; rather, you make the accessors reference some global variable or otherwise already existing memory, like

PHP Code:


			
int g_iCost;



...



        public get() 

        {

            return g_iCost;

        }

Oh, I think it's the wrong use of it I thought it works like classes or structs ...

EDIT: Can you give me an example with a string ?

is this correct ?

Code:

char g_weaponsName[][32];

........
        property int index
	{
		public get()
		{
			return view_as<int> (this);
		}
	}

        property char[] name
	{
		public get()
		{
			return g_weaponsName[this.index];
		}
		
		public set(const char[] name)
		{
			strcopy(g_weaponsName[this.index], sizeof g_weaponsName[], name);
		}
	}

        public int GetName(char[] name, int length)
	{
		return strcopy(name, length, this.name);
	}
	
	public void SetName(char[] name)
	{
		strcopy(this.name, sizeof this.name, name);
	}
