iOS CGRect problem.

[larswik]

I am getting this error message and it makes no sense. I am giving it what it needs?

Initializing 'CGRect *' (aka 'struct CGRect *') with an expression of incompatible type 'CGRect' (aka 'struct CGRect')

When I add a UIImageView to the screen I add it as a used object to an NSMutableArray. Then I check to see if the objects collide with this for loop using fast enumeration. If there is a UIView frame collision I am creating a explosion UIImageView Animation. I am simply using the frame of the object on the view for the origin and size for the explosion animation. I should not be getting this error?

I also tried to typecast like so.

CGRect *poofRect = (CGRect) userObject.frame;

The code

for (UIImageView *userObject in userDefenceObjects) {
            if (CGRectIntersectsRect(cannonBallView1.frame, userObject.frame)) {
                if (!col) {
                    col = [[Collisions alloc]init];
                }
                BOOL collision = [col checkAlphaAnimationCollision:cannonBallView1 withObj:userObject];
                
                if (collision) {
                    [hitAudio play];
                    gameRunning = NO;
                    CGRect *poofRect = userObject.frame;
                    [userObject removeFromSuperview];
                    [cannonBallView1 removeFromSuperview];
                    NSLog(@"BANG");
                    [self performSelector:@selector(newGame) withObject:nil afterDelay:2];
                }

            }
        }

CGRect is not an object, it's a C struct.

Look at the signature:

- (CGRect)frame;

So...

CGRect r = userObject.frame;

 

[dejo]

CGRect is a struct, not a class.

O jezz, I knew that. It was a simple mistake. Time to step away from the computer and go for a walk.

Thanks.
