I am having a scoping problem.

	case 119:
		if (rotate == 0.875f)
		{
			vertical -= 0.25f;
			horizontal += 0.25f;
		}

		if (rotate == 0.625f)
		{
			vertical -= 0.25f;
			horizontal -= 0.25f;
		}
		if (rotate == 0.125f)
		{
			vertical += 0.25f;
			horizontal += 0.25f;
		}
		if (rotate == 0.375f)
		{
			vertical += 0.25f;
			horizontal -= 0.25f;
		}
		if (rotate == 0.75f)
		{
			angle = 270.0f;
			vertical -= 0.25f;
		}
		if (rotate == 0.25f)
		{
			angle = 90.0f;
			vertical += 0.25f;
		}

		if (rotate == 0.5f)
		{
			angle = 180.0f;
			horizontal -= 0.25f;
		}
		if (rotate == 0.0f)
		{
			angle = 0.001f;
			horizontal += 0.25f;
		}

		if (vertical >= 9.5f)
		{
			vertical = 9.5f;
		}
		if (vertical <= -9.5f)
		{
			vertical = -9.5f;
		}

		if (horizontal <= -4.5f)
		{
			horizontal = -4.5f;
		}
		if (horizontal >= 14.5f)
		{
			horizontal = 14.5f;
		}
		break;

I am trying to get the angle variable to be recognized in the drawbullet_one function.

void drawbullet_one()
{
	glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

	glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[2]);

//	glPushMatrix();

	glTranslatef(-5.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f);

	glRotatef(angle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);

	glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
	glTexCoord3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

	glVertex3f(0.0625f, 0.0625f+up, 0.0f);
//	glVertex3f(0.0625f*cos(angle) - 0.0625f*sin(angle), 0.0625f*sin(angle) + 0.0625f*cos(angle)+up, 0.0f);
	glTexCoord3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

	glVertex3f(-0.0625f, 0.0625f+up, 0.0f);
//	glVertex3f(-0.0625f*cos(angle) - 0.0625f*sin(angle), -0.0625f*sin(angle) + 0.0625f*cos(angle)+up, 0.0f);
	glTexCoord3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);

	glVertex3f(-0.0625f, -0.0625f+up, 0.0f);
//	glVertex3f(-0.0625f*cos(angle) + 0.0625f*sin(angle), -0.0625f*sin(angle) + -0.0625f*cos(angle)+up, 0.0f);
	glTexCoord3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);

	glVertex3f(0.0625f, -0.0625f+up, 0.0f);
//	glVertex3f(0.0625f*cos(angle) + 0.0625f*sin(angle), 0.0625f*sin(angle) + -0.0625f*cos(angle)+up, 0.0f);
	glEnd();

	glTranslatef(5.0f, -0.5f, 0.0f);

//	glPopMatrix();

	glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
}

here is the drawing code

can I get some help on my scoping problem.

Where is the function or class that declares and sets your angle variable? I don't see it here... All I see is your if statement which sets the angle, but no indication where it's declared.

well I declare it at the top as a global variable, yes I know I should not use global variables, I set it to 0.0f.

If angle is a global variable then you wouldn't have any issue with scope. You said you have a scope issue as you're trying to recognize it under drawbullet_one().

Post your error message from Visual Studio.

I don't get an error from VS but I am trying to get it to be recognized in drawbullet_one

I know I keep spinning the same record, but please do yourself a favor and go back and review C++ with a good book like C++ Primer 5th Edition, then start up on openGL with baby steps with a more recent book.

I'm only saying this because if you're setting angle as a global variable, and you're asking how to use it within another function, that is a big warning sign... If the variable is global it can be called anywhere within the same .cpp file, otherwise if you're including classes, then you can either pass a copy or reference of the variable into the class's function. I wont get into 'extern' for globals...

There is no way you don't know this considering you've been at this for 14 years now... You already know how to recognize it in drawbullet_one()... Either type angle, or pass it through the function if it's outside of file scope. I'm in disbelief that you're asking this type of question...

well I am not  a good programmer but I am doing this just for fun.

ok I will  put the glPush/glPop back in. I will also put the up variable in glTranslate and get rid of the trailing glTranslate.

here is my adjusted code.

void drawbullet_one()
{
	glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);

	glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[2]);

	glPushMatrix();

	glTranslatef(-5.0f, 0.5f + up, 0.0f);

	glRotatef(angle, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);

	glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
	glTexCoord3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

	glVertex3f(0.0625f, 0.0625f, 0.0f);
	glTexCoord3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

	glVertex3f(-0.0625f, 0.0625f, 0.0f);
	glTexCoord3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);

	glVertex3f(-0.0625f, -0.0625f, 0.0f);
	glTexCoord3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);

	glVertex3f(0.0625f, -0.0625f, 0.0f);
	glEnd();

	glPopMatrix();

	glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
}

Remote debugging with a unresponsive debugger is so much fun.

fleabay do you have any more input

Hi @phil67rpg, I don't know if this is sacrilege, but ever consider using a different language?  Any reason you're sticking to c++?

well I use c++ because I used it in school and have read several books on it.
