Cannot use Texture passed to a base class?

Alright guys, so I've got a GameObject class and I inherited it to my Player class. So I've done this in the constructor:

 public Player(Vector2 position, Texture2D tex):base(position,tex)
    {
    }

Now, I have a Draw method, and I need the Texture to use the Draw method. But because I used the Texture from the GameObject class I can't use the texture in this method. What can I do about it? Leave a comment if you开发者_如何学编程 didn't understand anything.

Thanks in advance.

You should post a snippet of your GameObject class. Using my psychic abilities, I reckon your Texture object is declared as private in GameObject. Change it to protected like this:

class GameObject
{
    protected Texture2D _texture;
    public GameObject(Vector2 position, Texture2D tex)
    {
        ...
        _texture = tex;
    }
}

class Player : GameObject
{
    public Player(Vector2 position, Texture2D tex):base(position,tex)
    {
    }

    public override void Draw(...)
    {
        // _texture should be accessible from here.
    }
}

Read Access Modifiers to learn more about using private, protected, etc.

How is GameObject storing tex? The field it's being set to may not be accessible from the derived class Player. Try changing it's access modified to protected if this is the case.

Have you declared the _texture member as protected?

public abstract class GameObject
{
  protected Texture2D _texture;

  public GameObject(Texture2D tex) { 
    _texture = tex;
  }

  public abstract void Draw();
}

public class Player : GameObject
{
  public Player(Texture2D tex) : base (tex) { }

  public override Draw()
  {
     //Do stuff with _texture.
  }
}
