the problem is i need the global variable map is coming from another class called area, so what should i do? because if i insert the global varibale map into the class area, the a* algorithm can't find it. thanks for your help

Instead of defining it here, as

int map[ MAP_WIDTH * MAP_HEIGHT ] =
{
   // ...
};

Just declare it in this file

extern int map[] ;

(And then define it in the implementation file of area, eg. area.cc)

do you mean in findpath.h i write it like this

extern int map[]

and in area.cc i make it like this?

int map[]

do you mean in findpath.h i write it like this

extern int map[]

Yes.

and in area.cc i make it like this?

int map[]

No. Like this:

int map[ MAP_WIDTH * MAP_HEIGHT ] = 
{

};

hmm thats true, but what i mean is need something like this:

class area
{
//definition and method
int[] getMatriks()
};

then i need like this

area p;
map=p.getMatriks()

what should i do?
thanks for your help
