How can I assign texture to 3D buildings made with VertexArrays?

[Tigre Pablito]

Hello ladies and guys!

I would like that Quads (that are the 2D parts of my 3D buildings) have a texture, so the 3D buildings look a bit more like buildings ... I tried this but they just show the same old Color but darker

        private void AssignVertices(VertexArray array, Color color, float[] coords)
        {
            int a;
            array.Clear();            
            for (a = 0; a < coords.Length / 2; a++)
                array.Append(new Vertex(new Vector2f(coords[a * 2], coords[a * 2 + 1] + this.ship.Scroll), color, new Vector2f(0, 0)));
            array.Append(new Vertex(new Vector2f(coords[0], coords[1]), color, new Vector2f(0, 0)));
            RenderStates states = new RenderStates(Graphics.building);  // this is the Texture
            this.window.Draw(array, states);
        }
 

Maybe those who remember my Massacre space shooter game will understand better ...

Thanks in advance
Pablo

All your texture coordinates (3rd parameter of sf::Vertex) are 0, 0

What should they be? I put the same coords than the Quad's vertices and it is still the same ... just the old colors but darker ... I can't see the texture in the parallelepiped's faces ...

Thanks for replying

I saw in another post in the forum that Laurent said that texCoords are like a Sprite's TextureRect ... I have no doubt he's right, but I can't understand how ...

The TextureRect is a Rectangle which has a Vector2f Position and a Vector2f Size, like ( (x, y), (width, height) ) ... but, as I have Quads in my VertexArray, then I have 4 Vertices and then 8 numbers ... those 8 numbers, what should they be?

I want the Texture, which is 80x80, covers al the parallelepiped's faces (the 3D buildings), the faces are Quads

I will apreciate very much if someone solves my mistery

Instead of having a position and a size like in a texture rect, you give the texture coordinates of the 4 corner of your texture rect. (x, y) (x + width, y) (x + width, y + height) and (x, y + height)

Here's a random texture from google images.
Let's say you want to apply the little orange building on your quads (3rd building on the 2nd row).
Your 4 texture coordinates would be (256, 128) (top left corner of the wall), (384, 128) (top right corner), (384, 256) (bottom right corner), and (256, 256) (bottom left corner).

Thank you very much for your time, G.!

My error was that I added a 5th Vertex to the quad

You solved my issue
