How to assign different classes objects in game? c++ newbie

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi, I’m new to C++
In my Game.h i have strongly-typed variable Actor *actor;. How can I assign to my actor another Actor2Class or Actor3Class object for other levels? In my Game.cpp i will call same functions actor->function();

#2

If you mean that every actor are instances of the same class you simple should have to do:

delete actor;
actor = anotheractor;

#3

no, different classes, but they have same functions to call. The problem is that if I have actor type ActorClass I cant assign to actor DifferentActorClass, and it seems to me to be wrong to have different game classes with same code, but different actor types

You should probably read about polymorphism a bit :smile:
Here:

Or here:

Or just type in google :stuck_out_tongue:
