Problem with intersections
« on: February 17, 2022, 03:04:29 pm »
Hi.
I'm using SFML.Net, the c# bindings for sfml, and I'm getting a weird logic error.

Here's my code:
public static bool IsColliding(Entity enity1, Entity entity2)
        {
            if (enity1.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds().Intersects(entity2.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds()))
            {
                Console.WriteLine(enity1.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds().Intersects(entity2.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds()));
                Console.WriteLine(enity1.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds().Left + ", " + entity2.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds().Left);
                Console.WriteLine(enity1.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds().Top + ", " + entity2.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds().Top);
                return true;
            }
           
            return false;
           
        }
(how do I format code?)

As you can see, it's a simple function, which returns true if the sprites collide, and false if they don't. I also added some writeline() statements for debug.

Weirdly, this is the output I get:

True
342, 260
-40, 350

How? How is it returning true if the rectangles are obviously not intersecting?

(Also, this is my first time at the forum, so forgive me if this is not a correct type of problem in the correct type of section, etc.

You need to check the full rect, just checking top left values doesn't specify how large the sprites actually are.

var bounds1 = enity1.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds();
Consoel.WriteLine($"{bounds1.Left}, {bounds1.Top}, {bounds1.Width}, {bounds1.Height}");

var bounds2 = enity2.GetSprite().GetGlobalBounds();
Consoel.WriteLine($"{bounds2.Left}, {bounds2.Top}, {bounds2.Width}, {bounds2.Height}");

This should give you a clearer understanding.
Of course you can also always use your debugger to see the values returned.
