'drawBox' does not name a type error

Question

I keep having some weird errors while coding on C++ using SDL as my graphics library.

Today, I was starting to develop a game I wanna make, and suddenly a encountered a quite strange error.

#ifndef CREATURE_H_
#define CREATURE_H_




#include "SDL/SDL.h"

using namespace std;

class Creature 
{
    private:




        SDL_Rect drawBox;
        drawBox.x;
        drawBox.y;
        drawBox.h;
        drawBox.w;

        SDL_Surface *sprite;

    public:
        void spawn (SDL_Rect drawBox,SDL_Surface* screen);
        bool isTouching (class object);
        bool isAlive ();
        void move (int x,int y);
        bool isFalling ();
        void setSprite ();

};



#endif

That's my creature.h header file, and the creature.cpp is empty (it can compile but it wont do anything interesting). So, I can see that SDL_Rect is a struct and all that,but then why won't the SDL_Rect's name be treated as a variable name when it is? See ya guys, and peace.

Answer 1

Removing the members from drawBox from the class declaration will do, if I wished to change the values of those members, I would have to create a Creature object. And that's about. Thanks everyone.
