Drawing things on viewport

[N_K]

Hi all,

Is there a way to draw text/sprites onto an sf::View? I use the view as a camera, instead of scrolling the game map, I move the viewport. But when I try to display some text, it will be drawn on the map, not on the viewport, and it will go out of sight when I move the camera. Or do I have to transform the text element(s) at the same speed and in the same direction as the viewport itself?

Use a second view which remains stationary to draw your UI.

Thanks, although I've gone a different way, I've found out that this is explained in View.hpp: set up the camera, draw the things that are supposed to be observed through the camera, then use renderWindow.setView(renderWindow.getDefaultView()) to return to the default view, then draw the things that are supposed to be drawn on the screen.

This is the same as thePyro_13 suggested, you use a second view that is stationary, in your case the default view.
Keep in mind that if you resize the window the code might 'break', since the dedault view doesn't change with the window size.
