Title: Access violation writing location 0x00000004 in Enemy Constructor
Post by: firepro20 on November 21, 2019, 02:44:31 pm

I am getting the following error when running the program, violation thrown near default constructor of enemy -

Exception thrown at 0x77C76015 (ntdll.dll) in SFML.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000004.

This is the constructor -

Quote

// Default Constructor
Enemy::Enemy()
{
   //set alive
   mIsAlive = true;

   //set speed
   enemySpeed = 10.f;
   // Load an enemy texture
   if (!mEnemyTexture.loadFromFile("Media/Textures/PixelSpaceships/red_01.png")) {
      // Handle loading error
      std::cout << "Oh No! File not loaded." << std::endl;
   }

   //scale sprite and set texture so we know size
   enemySprite.setTexture(mEnemyTexture);
}

From game.cpp I am calling enemyLoader to instantiate enemy. Array of Enemy is in game.cpp as well

Quote

// Enemy

Enemy alienArray[NUMBER_OF_ALIENS];

Quote

// Loading Enemy

   
   enemy.enemyLoader(NUMBER_OF_ALIENS, alienArray);

What can I provide to help in identifying what is causing the issue?

The issue was resolved by changing the code structure completely in order to avoid calling private methods from public scope. This can be closed.
