Compiling Errors

[jchase520]

ok , heres my code i been workin on today, i get a bunch of errors here, wierd ones, the first being I included string & even tried string.h and still my const string is given a error ( I know strings are a user defined data type in C++)

also I know that most of this stuff has no effect right now, this code is still a work in progress with allot of psuedo code, but it should still compile all the syntex seems ok.

	0.001 - The creation of the games modes.

*/

//-- Include cbase, the base & required header file

#include <cbase.h>
#include <string.h>

//-- Set the flags model in a const string so it can be changed easily at any time

const string flagModel = "set the flag model path here";

//-- Get the game mode from RCON server settings

int getGameMode()
{
	//get game mode from cvar here once the rcon commands are programed
	int gameMode;

	switch(gameMode)
		case 1: startCommandPoint(); // rcon cvar should return 1 for command point
		case 2: startCaptureTheFlag(); // rcon cvar should return 2 for CTF
		case 3: startDeathMatch(); // rcon cvar should return 3 for DM
	return gameMode; // return the gameMode as a integer
}

//-- Create the flag entity, pass the location to create as x,y,z.
//-- Return entity ID as integer or -1 if it fails.

int createFlagEntity(double x, double y, double z)
{
	return flagEntityId;
}

and here are the errors:

If you want to use the std::string from the <string> header you need to use std::string, not string (you can use string if you are using namespace std; though).
You should probably break; after each case, and flagEntityId isn't defined anywhere.
