In my 2D platformer I am passing the player's current view to the entity manager, so I only draw the entities that are currently in view.
I pass the following sf::FloatRect (currentView_ is just an sf::View):
sf::FloatRect(
currentView_.getCenter().x - currentView_.getSize().x / 2,
currentView_.getCenter().y - currentView_.getSize().y / 2,
currentView_.getSize().x,
currentView_.getSize().y
)
When I then use sf::FloatRect.intersects it doesn't draw the entities, but when I use sf::FloatRect.contains it draws them just fine.
void EntityManager::drawEntities(sf::RenderTarget &renderTarget, sf::FloatRect &rect) {
// Doesn't work:
for (std::vector<Entity>::iterator i = entities_.begin(); i != entities_.end(); ++i) {
if (rect.intersects(i->getRect()) {
renderTarget.draw(*i);
}
}
// Works:
for (std::vector<Entity>::iterator i = entities_.begin(); i != entities_.end(); ++i) {
if (rect.contains(i->getRect().left + i->getRect().width / 2, i->getRect().top + i->getRect().height / 2)) {
renderTarget.draw(*i);
}
}
}
In case it's needed, the function getRect() returns the entity's float rect:
sf::FloatRect Entity::getRect() {
return sf::FloatRect(position_.x, position_.y, dimensions_.x, dimensions_.y);
}
The problem with it not working is that I don't want to check if only the entity's center is within the current view, but rather if ANY POINT of the entity's rect is.
Could someone please help me?
