[EO] Method or data member not found (SOLVED)

[Jaiden]

I'm having some trouble compiling code. I looked around the forums and found similar problems but I'm not really sure on how to fix the issue.

I added "Sex Based Requirements for Equips" to the source.
http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,68906.0.html

The game runs in VB6 fine but I can't compile it due to the error "Compile Error: Method or data member not found."

The function is:
```
Function GetPlayerSex(ByVal Index As Long) As Long
    ' If debug mode, handle error then exit out
    If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo errorhandler

    If Index > MAX_PLAYERS Then Exit Function
    GetPlayerSex = Player(Index).Sex

    ' Error handler
    Exit Function
errorhandler:
    HandleError "GetPlayerSex", "modDatabase", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext
    Err.Clear
    Exit Function
End Function
```
It highlights .sex in the following line. I'm assuming something is undeclared.

```
GetPlayerSex = Player(Index).Sex
```

Well, I went back and looked it over and I got the same problem on compile. I took that function out entirely and it fixed the problem, from what I can tell. It seems that there's a lot of loose code in my tutorial. I'll have to go back and clean that up. If you could try it and let me know what you get that would be appreciated.

You're right. I removed the line completely and it compiled fine. But I think that's odd that it happened in the first place and I dont like the idea of loose code.
Thank you though.

You didn't add it to the UDT.

Of course, removing that line of code _makes the function completely useless and will destroy the system._

It's just a dodgy tutorial. You get those around. Post on the thread and hope someone helps you. In the mean time learn to do things for yourself.

You must add to PlayerRec this:

Sex As Byte

…in modTypes

Thank you, I was afraid it was something like that.

Yes I need to learn to do things for myself, I suppose my method of learning is asking questions though. I don't have a problem working with the source, I just don't have a complete understanding of how everything works and where to find what I need to find.

I believe this is what I was looking for. I'll try it out, thanks!

Oops. Was looking at the wrong set of UDT's. Sex is defined in the server, not the client. Adding it to the UDT was the first thing I suspected, but it doesn't help if I'm looking in the wrong window.

It worked, thank you Alvin!
