Some of the member variables are not accessible - c++

Question

I'm trying to make a simple game, basically there is a map that you can put walls on, after that the enemy will spawn and walk to the finish tile.
Here's the call stack
Game constructor (setscene etc, create buildwall object that handles the wall placement) -> BuildWall (inputs are handled by this object, after user pressed Enter, call the game.generatePath) -> game.generatePath(here's where some of the member variables are not accessible)
Here is the code:
Game.h
#ifndef GAME
#define GAME
#include "Wall.h"
#include "Tile.h"
#include "Enemy.h"
#include "Path.h"
#include <QGraphicsView>
#include "Tower.h"
class BuildWall;
class Game: public QGraphicsView{
Q_OBJECT
public:
Game();
QGraphicsScene * scene;
Wall * build_wall;
// map and tile details
int map_width_in_tiles; // number of tiles in x axis
int map_height_in_tiles;
int map_tile_size; // in pixels
// tiles are indexed in int for easy sorting in QMap. We must use indexOfPoint(x,y) to get an index of a tile
QMap<int,Tile*> tiles;
// spawning entities
void spawnBlueSlime(Tile &spawn, Tile &dest, Path &path);
int getTileSize();
QMap<int,Tile*> getTiles();
void generatePath();
// tile indexing
int indexOfPoint(int x, int y);
// convert tile coordinate to scene coordinate
int x_scene(int x);
int y_scene(int y);
Tower *tower;
void mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event);
private:
// game initializations
void createMapTiles(QString filename);
void createScene();
void setMapTile(int map_width_in_tiles, int map_height_in_tiles, int map_tile_size_);
// debugging
void drawTilesOverlay(QString filename);
void drawTilesPoint();
//
void printAllTiles();
// mouse input
// spawn dest
Tile *spawn1;
Tile *dest1;
Tile *spawn2;
Tile *dest2;
BuildWall *buildwall;
};
#endif // GAME
Game.cpp
Game::Game()
{
setMouseTracking(true);
grabMouse();
setMapTile(20,10,64); // but start from 0
createScene();
createMapTiles(":/floor/assets/floor/dirt.png");
//drawTilesOverlay(":/util/assets/util/sTrackBorder_0.png");
//drawTilesPoint();
//printAllTiles();
int index = indexOfPoint(19,4);
Tower *tower = new Tower(*this,this->tiles.value(index)->x(),this->tiles.value(index)->y());
BuildWall *buildwall = new BuildWall(*this);
}
void Game::generatePath() {
delete buildwall;
Tile *spawn1 = tiles.value(indexOfPoint(1,5));
Tile *dest1 = tiles.value(indexOfPoint(19,5));
Path *path = new Path(*this,*spawn1,*dest1);
spawnBlueSlime(*spawn1,*dest1, *path);
}
//
// others methods
BuildWall.h
class Game;
class BuildWall: public QGraphicsPixmapItem{
public:
BuildWall(Game &game_);
Game &game;
private:
void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *ev);
};
BuildWall.cpp
BuildWall::BuildWall(Game &game_) : game(game_)
{
setPixmap(QPixmap(":/wall/assets/wall/brick_red.png"));
setScale(0.5);
game.scene->addItem(this);
this->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsFocusable, true);
this->setFocus();
}
void BuildWall::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *ev)
{
int grid = game.map_tile_size;
switch (ev->key())
{
//other keys
case Qt::Key_Return:
this->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemIsFocusable, false);
this->setFocus();
game.generatePath();
break;
}
}
Here you can see I can access some of the member variables such as tiles which are generated in Game constructor

You are shadowing member variables.
In the constructor it should only say:
buildwall = new BuildWall(*this);
This is the case for all member variables (spawn1, dest1, spawn2, dest2, buildwall) and in all functions where you want to call these variables.
