General / Re: sf::Texture to sf::RectangleShape

Thanks for the heads up there, yeah there is more to the code than this but Im currently working on the resource manager aswell I just wanted to make sure that this worked.

And i have quite alot done allready, but I will definatly look into the VertexArray. The map will not move either so its a static tilemap which only shows that one picture. I just made it like this so I can have more levels as I go.

General / sf::Texture to sf::RectangleShape

« on: December 07, 2012, 02:53:56 pm »

Hi, im new to the forums:)

Im working on a tower defence and as of now im writing the tiled map code, this takes a map.txt with numbers in it and draw the map from that.

What im having troubles with is how i can use textures together with shapes!

Here is the current code for that:

void DrawMap(sf::RenderWindow &Window)
{
        sf::RectangleShape rect;
        rect.setSize(sf::Vector2f(BLOCKSIZE,BLOCKSIZE));
        sf::Texture rectTexture;
        for(int i = 0; i < mapSizeX; i++)
        {
                for(int j = 0; j < mapSizeY; j++)
                {
                        if(mapFile[i][j] == 0) //if the value of the map is 0 then we draw this
                                rectTexture.loadFromFile("Dirt.png");
                                        //set texture of the rectangle 0
                        else if(mapFile[i][j] == 1)//if the value of the map is 1 then we draw this
                                rectTexture.loadFromFile("Grass.png");//set texture of the rectangle 1
                //we can add more statements if we want more nunmbers for our map
               
               
                        rect.setPosition(i * BLOCKSIZE, j * BLOCKSIZE);
                        rect.setTexture(rectTexture); // Im getting an error here, cant convert
//from sf:: texture to sf::const texture
                        Window.draw(rect);

                }
        }
}

So do i need to change it to sprites maybe cant rectangular shapes have a texture only a color? Because I used sf::Color and that worked fine
