Graphics / LineStrip Attempt
« on: August 30, 2016, 01:36:46 am »
Hello everyone

I am trying to encorporate SFML LineStrip into my existing/working program and I am having some small difficulties. For one, I'm not sure how to use something that is within the PrimitiveTypes.hpp

But for some reason, when I try to use sf::VectorArray it complies but causes a runtime error. The typical dll error: pFirstBlock == pHead error

I feel like I linked it up properly (considering that in the existing program I use Circles, Rectangles, Text, various colors, etc.)  but there could potentially be a small problem there. Otherwise I'm not sure why its working.

This is the code I'm trying to implement and if I comment everything, it works perfectly. If I comment everything except the first line, there is an error.

sf::VertexArray lines(sf::LinesStrip, 4);
lines[0].position = sf::Vector2f(10, 0);
lines[1].position = sf::Vector2f(20, 0);
lines[2].position = sf::Vector2f(30, 5);
lines[3].position = sf::Vector2f(40, 2);


at a later point I do gui.draw(lines, sf::RenderStates()); // in which gui is my window
again, it builds perfectly normally. There is an error at runtime. Thanks in advance.

Any chance you're mixing library versions? Also do you have SFML built specifically for the compiler/version you're running? For example, don't try to link release libraries to a debug build and don't try to use Visual Studio 2008 binaries with Visual Studio 2015.

I'm not sure. However, everything regarding sfml besides this appears to work just fine so I feel like I did all the linking and stuff properly.

Note: I tried to simply the code that  i have down to the basics and only include the parts that I thought would be relevant to this problem. In my program there are no compile/build/basic errors.
Does this mean that the code you have shown here doesn't cause you any problem? Can you show the code that does?

Just as an aside, setString(std::String(score)); doesn't make sense because an std::string doesn't take an integer as a parameter to its constructor.
You probably want (and maybe are already using): setString(std::to_string(score));


sorry I guess I'm doing:
intense.setString(scoreString);
in multiple locations where I change the scoreString. because I want to change the text dynamically. The problem is when I use the above line of code twice (in 2 diff locations), it crashes. and If i just use it once its fine.

note. that if I just use it once and the scoreString is "50A" it'll crash. but if it is "@50." it'll be okay. Never seen a programming language where the contents of the string affect the program so this is super weird to me.

Goal: I would like to dynamically change a sf::text object.

Details: I guess I'm trying to use it to represent a score meaning that it is constantly changing depending on what the user does.

Description of Issue: However, whenever I use setString(std::String(score)); inside of the loops where I detect an event, it causes a dll error that says:
     Debug Assertion Failed!
     Program: ...MS
     ....\FILEPATH\File.exe
     Line: 1424

     Expression: _pFirstBlock == pHead

     For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation

     (Press Retry to debug the application)

When I press retry it says that File.exe has stopped working. and its just a horrible mess. I'm not really sure why can't use setString. I tried never setting it outside and only setting the string of the sf::Text inside. but that hasn't worked. It will only let me set the string outside of the loop where its going to set once and never change.


Code:
        int score = 30;
        sf::RenderWindow gui(sf::VideoMode(120, 100), "TMS Control GUI");

        //creating the light up effect
        sf::RectangleShape light(sf::Vector2f(55, 44));
        light.setPosition(bottomLeft.x, bottomLeft.y);//for bottom left
        currentClick = &bottomLeft;
        light.setFillColor(sf::Color(0, 0, 0, 0));//make transparent
        light.setOutlineColor(sf::Color(255, 255, 255, 255));
        light.setOutlineThickness(4);


        sf::Font font;
        if (!font.loadFromFile("arial.ttf"))
        {
                // error...
                printf("ariel.ttf not found");
        }

        //create word that says stim
        sf::Text stimText;
        stimText.setFont(font); // select the font
        stimText.setString("Stim ");    // set the string to display
        stimText.setCharacterSize(16); // in pixels, not points!
        stimText.setPosition(3, 52);
        stimText.setColor(sf::Color(255, 255, 255, 255));       // set the color       
       
        }

        //actually adding everything we created to the window
        gui.clear(sf::Color(0, 0, 0, 255)); // clear tms control gui
        gui.draw(light, sf::RenderStates());
        gui.draw(stimText, sf::RenderStates());
        gui.display(); //show
       
        sf::Text intense;
        intense.setFont(font); //select the font
        //tried setting the string here
        intense.setCharacterSize(16);   // in pixels, not points!
        intense.setPosition(3, 75);             //moves it to the bottom left box below the word stim
        intense.setColor(sf::Color(255, 255, 255, 255));        // set the color
       
        //will use later to display stimulation intesities on the gui
        //gui.draw(intense, sf::RenderStates());

        while (gui.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event event;

                while (gui.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                gui.close();

                        if (event.type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) { //was a key pressed?
                                if (event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Up) //was up pressed?
                                {                              
                                      score = score + 1;       
                                }

                                if (event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Down) //was down pressed
                                {
                                       score = score - 1;
                                }

                                 }
                        } //end of if there was a keyboard press

                        if (event.type == sf::Event::TextEntered) { //was text typed
                                //do stuff
                        }
                }

                        if (localPosition.x >0 && localPosition.x < 61
                                && localPosition.y > 0 && localPosition.y<50){
                                //top left box
                                currentClick = &topLeft;
                                light.setPosition(topLeft.x, topLeft.y);
                        }
                        if (localPosition.x >60 && localPosition.x < 120
                                && localPosition.y > 0 && localPosition.y<50) {
                                //top right box :
                                currentClick = &topRight;
                                light.setPosition(topRight.x, topRight.y);
                                //can also do light.setPosition((*currentClick).x, (*currentClick).y);
                        }
                       
                        if (localPosition.x >61 && localPosition.x < 120
                                && localPosition.y > 50 && localPosition.y<100) {
                                //bottom right box :arm tms 2
                                currentClick = &bottomRight;
                                light.setPosition(bottomRight.x, bottomRight.y);

                //AN ATTEMPT TO DYNAMICALLY CHANGE THE INTENSITY
                intense.setString("A.");
                intense.setString("B.");
               
                gui.clear(sf::Color(0, 0, 0, 255)); // black screen
                gui.draw(light, sf::RenderStates());
                gui.draw(stimText, sf::RenderStates());
                gui.draw(intense, sf::RenderStates());

                gui.display(); //NOTE: anytime you display you have to redraw EVERYTHING you want on the screen
                //don't expect anythign to stay
        } //end gui window while loop
 

Note: I tried to simply the code that  i have down to the basics and only include the parts that I thought would be relevant to this problem. In my program there are no compile/build/basic errors.

Potential Issue that may or may not be relevant: There is a problem that may be related to this issue or its just a problem with sfml. I find that using sf::Text in general has some weird requirements. For example, I can only start my string with a capital letter or @ symbol and I can only end it with a space/period. If I end it with a number, I get the same error I said above even if I only set the string once in a completely legal way. I've never heard of a programming language where the contents of the string have the ability to cause an error so I find that this is the strangest thing about sfml.


Please help. I've been struggling with this for quite some time now and I could really use assistance.
