Generating getter and setter methods for simple custom message

asked 2016-07-06 13:08:57 -0500

I need to create a custom message for a PTZ camera so I can post the pan, tilt and zoom values to a topic. The problem is that I can't generate any access methods to change them. My message is defined like this:

std_msgs/Header header
float32 pan
float32 tilt
float32 zoom

Below is the generated header, but includes no methods for setting any of my defined values.

// Generated by gencpp from file ros_pantiltzoom_tardec/PTZ.msg

The problem is that I can't generate any access methods to change them.

ROS messages don't use getters or setters. Instead, all fields are public (in C++ anyway), and you should set them as you would do any other variable (ie: my_msg.a.b.c = 3).
