Audio / Re: No compile errors, yet no sound.

« on: November 29, 2018, 08:08:41 pm »

Hey.
Your SoundBuffer and Sound are destroyed at the end of the scope they are declared in (like any local variable). In your code they are destroyed just after "s.play();" so it doesn't even have enough time for you to hear it.
Declare them somewhere else where their lifetime is longer.

Hello, thanks for the answer.

When calling sound.play(), isn't a new thread aumatically created to play that sound and when it ends the thread dies?

What approach could I use to play a sound whenever the player clicks left mouse button? I don't know, I might be missing something still...

if (sf::Mouse::isButtonPressed(sf::Mouse::Left))
        {
                if (gameState->mPlayerFireCooldown <= 0.0f)
                {
                        // ...
                       
                        sf::SoundBuffer w;
                        w.loadFromFile("../assets/shot.wav");
                        sf::Sound s;
                        s.setBuffer(w);
                        s.play();
                }
}

Seems normal. Isn't it? I've spent thetwo hours on google and couldn't find a solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

General / Re: Is there a way to move your mouse cursor with joystick's analog?

You can set the mouse position. To be honest though that just seems like a hack, so you don't have to write more code to handle joystick events properly.

Mh. So, what do you suggest to achieve a sort of input independent cursor system?

General / Is there a way to move your mouse cursor with joystick's analog?

« on: November 11, 2018, 07:40:08 pm »

At the moment, I am handling every event with only the mouse. Including button clicks, hover in, out etc.

I was wondering if it is possible to treat the joystick as a second mouse: if the analog moves, so does the mouse cursor. Is there a way to do so?

Another possible approach I though: create a gameobject with the resemblence of a mouse cursor and move it alongside either mouse input or joystick input. But, in this case, what happens to my events? How would I translate

if (event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Right)

?

I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that's just the input I was looking for!

I came up with another solution, doesn't look clean. But it works:

if (event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Right)
                        {
                                if (event.mouseButton.x >= m_rect.getPosition().x
                                        && event.mouseButton.x <= m_rect.getPosition().x + m_rect.getSize().x
                                        && event.mouseButton.y >= m_rect.getPosition().y
                                        && event.mouseButton.y <= m_rect.getPosition().y + m_rect.getSize().y)
                                {
                                        std::cout << "the right button was pressed" << std::endl;
                                        std::cout << "mouse x: " << event.mouseButton.x << std::endl;
                                        std::cout << "mouse y: " << event.mouseButton.y << std::endl;
                                }
                        }

I dont know if there is a cleaner way, but at least I can proceed for now. Thanks again for your kind help!

Why are you trying to cast the mouse's position to a FloatRect? The contains function accepts a point, not a rectangle.

Isn't the mouse's position a X/Y coordinate on the screen? If it isn't how do I get a point out of its position?

I know there are dozens of threads already, and I have read all of them. That's why I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

I have a Button class:

class RectButton : public Widget
        {
        public:
                  virtual InputEventState ProcessInput(const InputEvent& event) override;
//more stuff

        private:
                float m_sizeX;
                float m_sizeY;
                sf::RectangleShape m_rect;
 

InputEventState RectButton::ProcessInput(const InputEvent & event)
{
        if (event.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed)
        {
                if (event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Right)
                {
                        if (// what do I put here?)
                        {
                                std::cout << "the right button was pressed" << std::endl;
                                std::cout << "mouse x: " << event.mouseButton.x << std::endl;
                                std::cout << "mouse y: " << event.mouseButton.y << std::endl;
                        }
                }
        }
return InputEventState();
}

I know for sure I should put something like:

if (m_rect.getGlobalBound().contains(static_cast<sf::FloatRect>(sf::Mouse::getPosition())))

But, even there, I cannot convert FloatRect to Vector2f. Sorry, I'm 100% lost.

Thanks in advance.
