I'm trying to add laser lights onto my weapon image..

i get the following error messages when i try to compile..

You should take a look at the code you're trying to emulate.

You're missing a lot of small little details and therefore your code isn't working. If you just take the time to think through what you're doing, and look closely at the system you're working with, you'll probably be able to solve your own problem.

Most of the code to the laser is located under

Like I said before, you need to think about what you're doing. You don't seem to be thinking the problem through, and based on your comments here and elsewhere, I don't see any evidence that you're really putting any effort into solving your problems beyond making a lot of noise asking for help.

Sit down and think what you're doing through. Learn about C++ so you can intelligently write code to solve your problems. You seem to be missing a lot of fundamentals, and I don't think you're going to get anywhere until you learn them.

Sure, we could write and debug your code for you, but that's not what this community is about. It's about sharing experience, helping people out, and making games. Support through the journey, not solutions on a plate.

@Ben: *me cries* Lovely words Ben, lovely.

:)

Heh, no need to hang on IRC to remember RedCore... :)

Edit: Too late, I only wrote 2 lines and had a typo, sigh.
