Question

I’m very new to Objective-C, so this is probably very basic.

Anyhow, I am trying to specify a custom return type in my class, and I keep getting errors that the class either needs an asterisk* or is not considered a type at all. I read that you need to use @class instead of #import in your header files, but that doesn’t seem to help in this case. What else am I doing wrong?

Here is my code:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@class Room;

@interface LevelData : NSObject {

@private

    NSArray *data;
    Room *currentRoom;

}

+(void)initialize;
+(*Room)getCurrentRoom;

@end

Thanks a bunch!

Answer 1

change that one line to:

+(Room *)getCurrentRoom;

and see if that compiles. Room * indicates you’re returning a pointer to a Room Objective-C object.
