"Expression must have pointer-to-object type" error

[ssh9411]

I'm having an issue in creating my "Horse Race" program. I'm getting error "subscript requires array or pointer type" in my while(winner==false) loop at

if(q==null)
{
    tick[q]++;
} 

and

for(int q=0; q<numhor; q++)
{
    if(tick[q]==10)
    {
    ...
    }
}

in addition to several places in my separate class files, even though I defined the array the beginning of the main.

int main()
{
    srand(time(NULL));
    int numhor=0, lane=0, null=0, tick=0, winlane=0, x=0, name=0;
    int tick[10];
    bool winner=false;
    string name;
    Horse HorseRace[10];
    Track TrackRace[10];
    cout<<"How many horses will you race? ";
    cin>>numhor;
    for(int n=0; n<numhor; n++)
    {
        //cin.ignore();
        system("cls");
        x=0;
        cout<<"Horse #"<<n+1<<endl;
        cout<<"Name the horse: ";
        cin>>name;
        HorseRace[n].nameHorse(name);
        //cout<<"Place this horse in lane: ";
        //cin>>lane;
        system("cls");
        HorseRace[n].lane(lane);
        TrackRace[n].fillTrack(HorseRace[n], lane);
    }
    system("cls");
    while(winner==false)
    {
        system("cls");
        //null=returnout(numhor);
        for(int q=0; q<10; q++) //increases tick number
        {
            if(q==null)
            {
                tick[q]++;
            }
        }
        for(int q=0; q<10; q++) //display tick
        {
            for(int r=0; r<10; r++)
            {
                cout<<" *";
            }
        }
        for(int q=0; q<numhor; q++) //check for winner
        {
            if(tick[q]==10)
            {
                winlane=q;
                winner=true;
                break;
            }
        }
        time();
    }
    for(int w=0; w<10; w++)
    {
        if(HorseRace[w].getlane()==winlane)
        {
            cout<<HorseRace[w].nameHorse(name)<<" wins!"<<endl;
        }
    }
    getch();
}

I somehow managed to fix the error by retyping the main code again, and the class errors were due to not defining the subscript in the header file.

However, after running the code, I realized the code does not work like I wanted it to. I could use some assistance on how to make this "Horse Race" just by simply running a horse by the inputted name and asterisks running across the screen one-by-one until they hit a certain value (I'd be doing 20), in which the code would declare a winner (which should already be programmed).

As it is:

#include"HorseRace.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<ctime>
#include<string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    srand(time(NULL));
    int numhor=0, lane=0, runner=0, winlane=0;
    int tick[10];
    bool winner=false;
    string name;
    Horse HorseRace[10];
    Track TrackRace[10];
    cout<<"How many horses will you race? ";
    cin>>numhor;
    numhor=numhor+1;
    for(int n=0; n<numhor; n++)
    {
        system("cls");
        cout<<"Horse #"<<n<<endl;
        cout<<"Name the horse: ";
        getline(cin,name);
        int rename= atoi(name.c_str());
        HorseRace[n].nameHorse(rename);
        system("cls");
        HorseRace[n].lane(lane);
        TrackRace[n].fillTrack(HorseRace[n], lane);
    }
    system("cls");
    while(winner==false)
    {
        //code for running horses
    }
    for(int w=0; w<10; w++)
    {
        if(HorseRace[w].getlane()==winlane)
        {
            cout<<HorseRace[w].getname()<<" wins!"<<endl;
        }
    }
}

In my header file, the Horse class contains:

int name; //horse name
int position;

and Track class contains:

Horse track[10]; //lanes of track
int horseCount; //number of horses
int laneoccupy[10];

and the classes are the same as my earlier posts.
