Compiler Error - Problem with forward referencing.

[legionnairex2]

I got a program that gives me an error when I try to pass a pointer to a method but only when I pass one of its fields:

Method InitLevel1()
    ufoManager = New UfoManager(playerManager.player.pos) '************

End Method

to this method on another Class:

Method New(playerPos:PVector2D) '******************
    Super.New()
    state = State.ENTERING
    Self.playerPos = playerPos '****************
End Method

and I get this error:

/Users/ayoitseve/Desktop/monkeypatrol/monkeypatrol.buildv1.0.3/build_cache/desktop_debug_macos/monkeypatrol_src_2entity.h:11:8: note: forward declaration of 't_default_PVector2D'
struct t_default_PVector2D;
^
1 error generated.
***** Fatal mx2cc error *****

Internal mx2cc build error

If I pass the object I don't get the error only if I pass the field:

Method InitLevel1()
    ufoManager = New UfoManager(playerManager.player) '**********

End Method

Method New(player:Vehicle) '********************************************
    Super.New()
    state = State.ENTERING
    Self.playerPos = player.pos  '*************************************
End Method

this does not give me an error and works fine.

Is the field you are passing from the Class public, private etc?

I may have fixed this, but I can't really test your code 'as is'.

You'll need to post some 'runnable' code, ie: code I can just copy, paste and run without having to 'guess' all the missing bits.
