Inheritance issue

[MerakSpielman]

OK there are TONS of classes out there with their own static void ConsoleInit functions. Most of which are outside this particular inheritance tree.

aaarrrrrgg.

Have you tried redeclaring the Initialize method in ScObj?

Yes. That seems to confuse things. I get tons of errors.

I'm digging into this again today. I'm really a fairly novice programmer, and this job is more than a little beyond my abilities. I'm very proud I managed to stomp the last 30 bugs. But this ones a doozy.

I'm going to see if I can find other instances where things use Initialize() without errors, propagating up the same inheritance tree. Maybe if I can figure out what they're doing I can figure out what this one's supposed to be doing.

I also want to see what, if anything, is actually calling this function. I know I get errors if I simply comment it out, so something out there is depending on it.

OK, not tons of errors. If I try to put any sort of Initialize() in this class description, static void or regular, I get 9 "Unresolved External Symbol" errors. Those are a pain the keister to fix, and I'm not sure it's even the right track to take.

Try this:

class ScObj : public NetObj
{
public:
    //try either this
    using NetObj::Initialize();
    //or this
    using ConObj::Initialize();
};
