Title: How do I set a position/scale etc on a single axis?
Post by: Ignatius_Z on February 06, 2021, 01:07:10 am

For example how do I use

sprite.setPosition(x, y);

but only for x OR y instead of both?

I used

sprite.setPosition(20, sprite.getPosition().y);

but i'd imagine thats not the most efficient way of doing it. Apologies again for the very noob question and its probably right in front of me but thanks in advanced.

are you sure there isn't a way of just changing one part of the vector?

If there was a way, it would be in the documentation ;)

you can change parts of a vector, but the vector inside the sf::Sprite class has restricted access and there is no setter method for only parts of it.

so you can change the source code to include these methods (overkill) OR you can do the way you did, which isn't inefficient at all.
