[Solved] Converting from std::string to str

[Shard]

Hey guys.

 

I'm coding a specific version of our game for a cinematic. Basically, Porsche will create animations in 3DS and then we will place it in the code.

Then the code will read it in and create mesh objects for them. Finally, he can hit "play" and all the animations would run from start to finish. Then we will Fraps it.

 

The problem that I'm having is doing this:

 

//Initialization
string objectName;


	// For aStar stuff
	if(className == "animation")
	{
		TMesh mesh;

		className = "\"abstract:" + className;
		className = className + ".gmf\"";

		mesh = LoadMesh(className);  //<------ error C2664: 'LoadMesh' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::string' to 'str'
              }

 

 

The object name is defined in the Editor and is the same as the gmf file.

sdt::String has c_str() method use it. It should work.

sdt::String has c_str() method use it. It should work.

 

 

Thanks. I did this and I got a new error

error C2664: 'LoadMesh' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char *' to 'str'

 

 

I did a Google search on the error but I couldn't find a solution.

Try this:

string myString;

......

LoadMesh(str(myString.c_str()));

Try this:

string myString;

......

LoadMesh(str(myString.c_str()));

 

Thank You, worked perfectly.
