While coding opcontrol, I defined all my motors and sensors just before opcontrol function. When I went to the autonomous file to code auton, I realized that I can’t code the motors in and I must redefine them all. For autonomous and opcontrol, is there a way to define all motors and sensors “global…

there is no way. the sensors and motors are just like regular variables and cant be automatically declared in all the cpp files. You can: put the autonomous and opcontrol function in the same cpp file so you dont need to declare it multiple times OR Use header files like this: globals.cpp pros…

So I took your advice and created the new files, but it’s telling me the motors and such don’t exist? and I don’t know what I did wrong. Could you or someone reading this who knows the problem help? [snipocode]

can u copy and paste the error? can you also send out globals.cpp

I believe that the issue lies in using namespace pros; and extern pros::Controller Controller1; The linker is not recognizing where Controller1 as it doesn’t know which object you are referencing since you are using namespace pros. It’s basically the same issue as doing using namespace std; …

no. you can overwrite namespaces, so even if you are :using namespace std; you can still use pros::Motor or something like that. the compiler wont solely add in the namespace, but will try to find.the matching function first.

No, what @Arman_R said is completely wrong (sorry). It is fine practice to do using on a namespace you use a lot (except for std because of potential naming conflicts). There are no side effects to do using except for global namespace pollution. Your problem is probably that you have not saved the …

At first it didn’t work but after restarting PROS after saving each file, my problems were gone, thx!

It was probably because the linter was out of sync. [image] "main.h" Not Found (Linter) PROS Support This is a commonly asked question. There is actually no error going on. It’s just the linter giving you that error because it does not have accurate information. The lint…
