Passing a struct as an array and storing

My phase looks like this : 

enum Gait_cycle_states {
HEEL_STRIKE,
FLAT_FOOT,
MID_STANCE,
HEEL_OFF,
TOE_OFF,
MID_SWING
};

My struct looks like this : 

struct State {
Gait_cycle_states current_state;
uint8_t next_state; //index of the next state

uint8_t ay_num_criteria;
State_criterion *ay_criteria_for_state;

unsigned int gy_num_criteria;
State_criterion *gy_criteria_for_state;
};

and my function looks like this : 

void initialize_FSM(State states_array[]){
//Heel strike----------------------------------------------------------

State heel_strike = {
    .current_state = HEEL_STRIKE,
    .next_state = 1, //the index of the next state

    .ay_num_criteria = 1,
    .ay_criteria_for_state = new State_criterion[1],

    .gy_num_criteria = 2,
    .gy_criteria_for_state = new State_criterion[2]
};

//The features to look for in accel_y and gyro_y, and how old they can be to count (in ms)
heel_strike.ay_criteria_for_state[0] = { NO_FEATURE, 150 };
heel_strike.gy_criteria_for_state[0] = { NEGATIVE_TROUGH, 150 };
heel_strike.gy_criteria_for_state[1] = { BREACHED_HIGH_THRESHOLD, 30 };

//putting the state we just configured into the state array
states_array[0] = heel_strike;
};

It seems Visual studio 2015 is not letting me assign the value to my types using "." or in the fashion, I am doing it.

It is throwing me a bunch or error and warnings like this :

could someone please suggest me what could be done?

State heel_strike = {
    HEEL_STRIKE,
    1, //the index of the next state

    1,
    new State_criterion[1],

    2,
    new State_criterion[2]
};

What you are trying to use is known as "designated initializers". They are a feature of C language (since C99), not part of standard C++. Some compilers support it for C++ as an extension, but MSVC does not.
