How do i get the position of the center of my sprite?

[gl0w]

Hello,

I want to get the position of the center of my sprite, so i have tried the following:

pac.SetCenter(0.5*BLOCKSIZE, 0.5*BLOCKSIZE);

But then when i use the pac.GetPosition().x/y it doesn't give me the center of the sprite, instead it gives me the upper left corner of the sprite.

How can i change this to work?

thanks

pac.GetPosition().x + pac.GetCenter().x?

pac.GetPosition().x + pac.GetCenter().x?

Hm.. well, never though about it. But i can try.

 I already tried using:
pac.TransformToGlobal(pac.GetCenter()).x;
pac.TransformToGlobal(pac.GetCenter()).y;

and then

PacPosX = pac.GetCenter().x
PacPosY = pac.GetCenter().y

but it doesn't work either.

thanks!

SFML 1.6 I guess :

Code: [Select]

pac.SetCenter(pac.GetSize().x / 2 , pac.GetSize().y / 2);

SFML 1.6 I guess :

Code: [Select]

pac.SetCenter(pac.GetSize().x / 2 , pac.GetSize().y / 2);

I tried that, with pac.SetCenter(0.5*BLOCKSIZE, 0.5*BLOCKSIZE);

And it actually set's the Center to 10/10, because i can see it on debug mode.
The problem is when i try to get the global position of the center on the screen with:

pac.TransformToGlobal(pac.GetCenter()).x;
pac.TransformToGlobal(pac.GetCenter()).y;

PacPosX = pac.GetCenter().x
PacPosY = pac.GetCenter().y

or

PacPosX = pac.GetPosition().x
PacPosX = pac.GetPosition().y

it still gives me the position of the upper left corner

SFML 1.6 here.

thanks

GetPosition() returns the position of the center, so it should be ok. However the position doesn't change when you set the center, instead it's the sprite that is moved on screen so that the position matches the new center.

Thanks for both of you. Really appreciated


pac.GetPosition().x + pac.GetCenter().x + pac.GetPosition().y + pac.GetCenter().y  works. I can get the center position of the sprite on the screen.

Not sure, if there is another way around for do that ?
