Using a for loop with RectangleShapes
« on: December 05, 2013, 12:59:53 am »
I've been working on a secret project lately, and I needed a couple Rectangle Shapes for hidden reasons. I thought I could just use an array of Rectangle Shapes, because I needed to manipulate all of them using the same code, but when initializing their size, color, data, etc. I get an error saying:

A buffer overrun has occurred in SFML.exe which has corrupted the program's internal state. Press Break to debug the program or Continue to terminate the program.

The code I am using to initialize them is as follows:

const short bodyCount = 4;

sf::RectangleShape wolfBody[bodyCount];
for (int i = 0; i < bodyCount; i++)
{
        wolfBody[i].setSize(sf::Vector2f(32, 32));
        wolfBody[i].setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);
        wolfBody[i].setOrigin(16, 16);
}

Does anyone know what is wrong with this?

Well how exactly do you expect to initialize the shape if you never call the constructor...

Oh, and maybe avoid using raw fixed arrays, instead use something like std::vector<T>.

The code snippet isn't by itself the cause of the problem. You need to provide more code and generally more information.
