C++ Help - Can't use strings in method declaration

[The Teej]

Hey all, I have this in my header file:

void ObjectCreator(std::string sActorGroup_, std::string sActorName_, std::string sActorVariable_);

Yes yes, it's all in the appropriate places etc, but I get this error:

Error 1 error C2653: 'std' : is not a class or namespace name
Error 2 error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'string'

I've tried getting rid of std::, but that still doesn't make it work. Any ideas on how to make it work? I tried including in the header file, but then as soon as I go to execute that class (never mind the method) it immediately breaks at "strlen.asm", so I'm guessing that's not the right way to go

Any ideas, anybody? I'm running out of ideas on how to fix this. I've researched and researched but found no fix.

Thanks.

I'm not a C++ programmer, so I'm not sure this'll work, but try declaring the strings as globals earlier in the code. Then just use the following to declare your method:

void ObjectCreator(sActorGroup_, sActorName_, sActorVariable_);

EDIT: Now that I look at it, should there really be a semicolon there? Shouldn't that be followed by some code enclosed in {}? Like I said, I'm not a C++ programmer, so IDK. Also, what I said before shouldn't actually be necessary.

Did you use "using std::string" or maybe it was just "using namespace std"

Yes, there should be a semi-colon there, as I'm declaring it in the header and not in the cpp file. Also, I tried moving it to the CPP file and declaring it globally, but this does not work either :/

Tried both, neither works.

Please remember guys, this is in the HEADER file, not the cpp file.

On your header file, are you using:

CODE#include

using namespace std;
??

Also, once you put the "using namespace" thing you can take out the "std::" from the code.

I've tried this, but it breaks at strlen.asm. Originally, I was using chars in the method, but I've found out I need to use strings instead.
