Error when creating Vector of structs

[Peter Taylor]

I am very new to flatbuffers and believe I am following the tutorial correctly but modifying it to my needs, but cannot for the life of me work out why i'm getting this error:

     error: could not convert ‘_Positions’ from ‘flatbuffers::Offset<flatbuffers::Vector<Renderer::Import::Vec3> >’ to ‘flatbuffers::Offset<flatbuffers::Vector<const Renderer::Import::Vec3*> >’
                                            _Materials, _Faces);

in addition, I've just noticed it's also throwing ` error: static assertion failed: T must be a scalar type` thrice


Flatbuffers Schema:

  

 
    namespace Renderer.Import;
    struct Vec3 {
    ...
    }
   
   
    struct Face {
    ...
    }
    struct Material{
    ...
    }
   
    table Mesh{
      Name:string;
      Positions:[Vec3];
      Normals:[Vec3];
      Materials:[Material];
      Faces:[Face];
    }

C++ Code: 

      flatbuffers::FlatBufferBuilder builder(4096);
   
      std::vector<Renderer::Import::Vec3> Normals;
      // Populate
   
      std::vector<Renderer::Import::Vec3> Positions;
      // Populate
   
      std::vector<Renderer::Import::Material> Materials;
      // Populate
     
     std::vector<Renderer::Import::Face> Faces;
     // Populate
   
        auto _Name = builder.CreateString(shapes[0].name);
        auto _Normals = builder.CreateVector(Normals);
        auto _Positions = builder.CreateVector(Positions);
        auto _Materials = builder.CreateVector(Materials);
        auto _Faces = builder.CreateVector(Faces);
        // Errors with `_Position` argument, but maybe the other three are incorrect too
        auto mesh = Renderer::Import::CreateMesh(builder, _Name, _Positions, _Normals, _Materials, _Faces);

Use CreateVectorOfStructs instead of CreateVector when used with structs.

The API is to blame for accepting a vector of structs with CreateVector, we'll have to fix that.
