Changing a constant

by Erik Madison · in Torque Game Engine · 03/26/2004 (3:20 pm) · 3 replies

Basic coding question, I can't seem to remember how to do this....

TSShape const* mShape= object->getShape();

mShape->objects[i].xxxxxx = true;

error: L-value specifies const object.

I really need to set xxxxxxx (super secret value :)) from within code.

You can't change a constant. Its a constant :)

Constants allow the compiler to optimze the variable because it is guarunteed not to change.

Okay. I'm finding another area and method for implementing this variable.

Well if you don't need it to be a constant just remove the const keyword.
