[SFML2] SetX/SetY disappeared ?

[Phanoo]

Hi

I've downloaded the latest SFML2 RC build and I cannot find these useful functions, are they hidden somewhere or temporarily disabled for some reason?

I was a good user of them, I think having "s.SetPosition(s.GetPosition().x,y)" everywhere I need to set only X or Y position of an object is not clean and make the code harder to read (and probably a little bit slower due to the getposition() call)

Yes they do not exist anymore as the documentation would also show. The design decision is a good thing though, it keeps the interface clean. If you have to change often the position, it's adivced to use a vecotr to make the position change and then just hand that over to sprite.
About performance you don't need to fear anything.

Thank you

For the vector trick, do you mean I have to use a vector to store/modify coordinates, then put "s.setPosition(vector[0],vector[1])" in the main loop ?

[eXpl0it3r]

Hehe, no I was refering to sf::Vector2 which holds the x and y coordinate and every size-function has an argument list for vector so you can just use .setPosition(myVec).
If you don't use already vecotrs for your entities/objects then you maybe need to rethink your design.

Agree with eXpl0it3r here. I used to be pretty much seperate X/Y mindset, but vectors are so much cleaner.
