error C2678: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'std::stringstream

Question

Whenever I try and compile my game with the map I get the error...

"1>Map.cpp(57): error C2678: binary '>>' : no operator found which takes a left-hand operand of type 'std::stringstream' (or there is no acceptable conversion)"

...but it compiles when I initialize collidable like it is below...

bool collidable[100000];

Can anyone please help me and also if you spot anything else that's wrong with my code can you please point it out as well anyway thanks in advance

MAP.h

The problem is that vector<bool> is special and is (most probably) not a simple array of individual bool elements. So the reference that you expect to get by using the index operator is not a 'reference to bool' but a different class (see this) object.

You can choose some alternative to vector<bool> or use a temporary bool object to read from the stream and then assign it to the vector element.

bool temp_bool;
stream >> temp_bool;
collidable[numberOfTiles] = temp_bool;
