Title: sf::Drawable::GetPosition
Post by: heishe on July 18, 2008, 06:53:24 pm

Is this not possible because of the class hierarchy? Sounds weird to me because drawable has "SetPosition" but no "GetPosition" method.

Would it be possible to add taht in future versions? I'm currently writing a 2D Game Framework using sfml and clipping doesn't work at the moment because i can't get the position of my sf::Drawables inside my SceneManager class :)

greetings,
travis

btw: great library. way better than SDL or anything else i've seen so far.

Well, the function is defined in the headers and compiled in the libraries for sure, so why do you say it's not there ? Any compiler / linker error ?

Did you watch the intellisense list? Or doesn't the code work if you use a GetPosition() method?

In VC++, the intellisense database is sometimes upset. Rebuilding the project or whole solution and deleting the database file (*.ncb) will help.
