I get the following error: error C2102: ‘&’ requires l-value when compiling the following line:

  if (&(obj->getTranslation()).y ==5)

I am trying to get the y-axis coordinate of an object, but I seem to be missing something. Could you please help me out.

    Pretty sure you just want this:

    if (obj->getTranslation().y ==5)

    If get Translation returns a pointer then you’ll want to dereference it, so you may have been looking for:

    if ((*obj->getTranslation()).y ==5)

    But you could just use the dereference operator you’re using on obj:

    if (obj->getTranslation()->y ==5)
