Well, technically, "si" in spanish means "if"

I'm still confused about the sprite class (I'm use to actionscript)

How do you change from one picture to another, like in a walk cycle?

I know that SFML is not a game engine (I came from actionscript)

But is there a way to do the same with a torus/doughnut-shaped health bar?

How would you display a simple health bar in SFML?

Window / That annoying little window

« on: April 28, 2011, 02:45:30 am »

My project is aimed at both scripters (who really need the console) and their end-users (who don't need/want to see the console). So at the moment I do have multiple build targets, but I'd be force to release two different versions of my program, one with the console and one without. If I could control that in the application itself, I could only give only one build and control that in the configuration file. It's not an absolute need, but it'd be neater if it's easy enough to control.

I'll have a look at Windows.h then. I hope it wouldn't break portability too much to do it this way though :?

It is probably not as easy as you wish. Once you have created a new console-window you  have for example to redirect the standard input and output streams to this window.
It is possible and described here, but it is rather complicated.

But I have an easy suggestion for you. Just create a console-application and if you don't want to show the console window, use

Code: [Select]


ShowWindow(GetConsoleWindow(), SW_HIDE);

to hide it(Further information).

I think hiding an existing console is easier than creating a new one .

So would

Code: [Select]

ShowWindow(GetConsoleWindow(), SW_SHOW); also work?

You don't need code to remove the console window

Project -> Properties -> Build Type -> it SHOULD say Console application, change it to Gui Application.
Make sure to set it to same on Debug AND release (on left) or whichever you prefer

Note: May require you to restart codeblocks, sometimes it does for me.

Hope this helps.

Wow, jeez, I comPLETELY forgot about the GUI application option :shock:

Thanks a bunch

I just started using SFML a few days ago :shock:

Whenever I run the code in Code::Blocks, the little CP-like window (I forgot what it's called) pops up along with the window that displays the images :evil:

How do you get rid of this window by code :?:

Graphics / Re: Events

« on: April 27, 2011, 11:50:44 pm »

Can you do this? :?

Code: [Select]


if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Shift)) {
    // Do here what you want to happen when the user presses shift
}


You can do it in a very similar way. Key Event has special variables to check, wether shift, control or alt was pressed or not.

Code: [Select]


if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && Event.Key.Shift )
{
    // Do here what you want to happen when the user presses shift
}

So this should work.

That fills the missing gaps. Thanks for everyone's contribution to this

Your explaination helped

And for the Events part, I just want to know how can you program a key listener so the user can press the SHIFT key and make it do something

There is no need for a key listener (Java programmer?). If you want something to happen when the user presses shift, you can do this (inside the event-loop):

Code: [Select]


if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::LShift)) {
    // Do here what you want to happen when the user presses shift
}


Can you only do it on one of the shift keys? :?:

Can you do this? :?

Code: [Select]


if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Shift)) {
    // Do here what you want to happen when the user presses shift
}


Or this?

 :idea:

Code: [Select]


if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && ((Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::LShift) || (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::RShift))  {
    // Do here what you want to happen when the user presses shift
}

Graphics / Sprite Help

« on: April 27, 2011, 03:48:43 pm »

I just started SFML a few days ago, and I need an explaination on the sprites tutorial :?

Is it saying that you take small sections of a sprite sheet and displaying them accordingly or is it saying that you have to upload all of the images and then displaying them :?:

Can someone also help explain the Event function? I'm kinda confused

I'm using Code::Blocks if that helps, which I doubt :wink:
