Detecting Mouse Inside Sprite

[7ark]

Hello, I recently started using SFML, not new to programming, though it's been a few months since I've used a lot of C++.

Trying to detect if the mouse pointer is within the bounds of a sprite, and I cannot seem to get it right. I have a custom view setup just like this

Code: [Select]

mainView.setSize(sf::Vector2f(GameSettings::width, GameSettings::height));
mainView.setCenter(sf::Vector2f(0, 0));

I have a GameObject class and such which contains a sprite, whose position is set in the constructor. In my main loop I'm updating a static reference to a sf::vector3f for the mouse position which I get with sf::Mouse::getPosition(window);

So later I attempt to determine if the mouse pointer is within the area of the sprite, but I've been having trouble getting it to detect correctly.
I am doing this

Code: [Select]

if (gameObject->GetSprite().getGlobalBounds().contains(Game::MousePosition()))
Where it gets the sprite, and Game::MousePosition() returns that mouse position from earlier.

I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

Since you modify the view, the screen to world space mapping isn't 1:1, thus you need to use mapPixelToCoords to get the mouse coordinates in world space.

Yeah, I actually ended up doing that without it working still. Found out the way I'm dealing with my transform is the problem. I have a sf::Transform on my Object class, which calls the renderer.draw(sprite, transform). So even tho I was scaling my object, the actual script size isn't actually smaller. So I need to find some way of actually changing the sprite.

Once you have the world co-ordinates of the mouse position, you can then transform them using the sprite's inverse transform and compare the then (un-)transformed mouse position with the sprite's local instead.
