Movement

[flachead]

Hello, i'm back for more 

So my sprite moves to my mouse position ok, but when I let go of the mouse it reverts to its original position. I tried using sf::keyboard::iskeypressed in an if statement and the same thing happened. Am I missing something?

while ( mainWindow.isOpen() )
     {

       sf::Texture tFly;
       tFly.loadFromFile( "fly.png" );
       sf::Sprite sFly;
       sFly.setTexture( tFly );

         sf::Event event;

       while( mainWindow.pollEvent( event ) )
       {
         if( event.type == sf::Event::Closed )
            mainWindow.close();
       }
      
       if (sf::Mouse::isButtonPressed(sf::Mouse::Left))
       {
            sFly.setPosition(sf::Mouse::getPosition(mainWindow).x, sf::Mouse::getPosition(mainWindow).y);
       }
 
         // Clear screen
         mainWindow.clear();
       mainWindow.draw( sFly );
 
         // Update the window
         mainWindow.display();
     }

Thanks very much in advance. ( I've googled everywhere and couldn't see anything related. )

Why do you create a new Texture and Sprite in the game loop?
Sprites position is set at 0, 0 when you create it.

I don't know i'm just using trial and error lol.

EDIT: I see, I took it out of the main loop and now it works fine. Boy do I feel stupid Thanks very much for your help!

That may work for some simple task with a simple language, but C++ is not simple and game development is neither. You should get a good understanding of C++ by reading a good book, make sure to check the documentation and if face with a problem sit down and think about it before even doing anything with code.

Btw lol. is not a valid way to finish sentences in English.

I have a pretty good understanding of C++, but the best way for me to learn is to make mistakes I also have a pretty good book here that I use for reference if I get stuck. Thanks for the info though I will check out your list of books, and stop using "lol" at the end of my sentences bad habit!
