Cant get Sprite position relative to view [solved]

[HailBee]

Here's what I have so far, I can get it working perfectly fine if the object to set the position on is the mouse but cant seem to work out how to do it with a sf::Sprite:

for(int i = 0; i < bomb.size(); i++)
      sf::Vector2f playerPos = playSprite.getPosition();
      int playX = playerPos.x;
      int playY = playerPos.y;
      sf::Vector2i convertedPos;
      convertedPos.x = playX;
      convertedPos.y = playY;
      sf::Vector2f worldPos = win.mapPixelToCoords(convertedPos);
      bomb[ i ]->getBullet().setPosition(worldPos.x, worldPos.y);

I didnt use win.getView() in the mapPixelToCoords function for my mouse but saw it in the documentation so giving it a shot during my debugging

Any help much appreciated

edit: removed irrelevant function

I'm not sure to understand what you want to achieve, but I can already tell you that passing a sprite position to the mapPixelToCoords is wrong: the sprite position is already in world coordinates, not in pixel coordinates (a typical example of what's in pixel coordinates is the mouse position).

The fact that you have to manually convert a Vector2f to a Vector2i is usually a good indicator that something's wrong.

When the player moves from 0,0 the placed sprites appear on an offset between 0,0 and the playerSprite's position.

I figured this was due to the view changing?

The function gets the sprites ready for a projectile move function that moves all bomb's and works perfectly when the player is at 0,0.

//maybe I should add my view stops moving when a player is beyond a given range(so that it isnt always centered)

[Laurent]

Your player and bombs positions are both in world coordinates, they can already interact with each other without intermediate conversions. I don't know why you want to use the view and pixel coordinates to update your logic, this is totally unrelated.

Thanks for the tip about it not being about the view but was just trying it to test it it worked, currently I have:

      
for(int i = 0; i < bomb.size(); i++)
   {
        sf::Vector2f playerPos = playSprite.getPosition();
             bomb->getBullet().setPosition(playerPos.x, playerPos.y);
    }

Which works fine but like I said only at 0,0 and then gets offset.


EDIT: Fixed, it was a problem with the movement of the sprite after it's position was set. Thanks for your tips.
