Help with using Rect

[Crazed]

Im trying to check collision between two sprites so I am doing:

Code: [Select]


rectA = player.GetSubRect();
rectB = portal.GetSubRect();
cout << rectA.Intersects(rectB);


Where rectA and rectB are IntRects.  No matter what Intersects is returning true.  Am I going about this the wrong way?

Have you checked all the numbers in the two rects with a debugger to make sure they are what you want them to be?
Edit: that function will get a rect defined as :mySubRect   (0, 0, Img.GetWidth(), Img.GetHeight()) therefore it will always collide.

Im still not really sure why my code above didnt work, is it because it uses relative coordinates when im expecting it to use global coordinates (which I dont see a purpose for it to be limited to relative..that makes it useless as far as I can tell!)

But I found some code for collision testing under the French Wiki's Code Source section (no I dont know French but it was the only resource I could find since its still unclear why my above method wont work.)

Now I am once again having a similar problem.

Code: [Select]


mouseX = game.GetInput().GetMouseX();
mouseY = game.GetInput().GetMouseY();

for(int i = 0; i < 36; i++)
{
if(!tiles[i].GetSubRect().Contains(mouseX, mouseY))
game.Draw(tiles[i]);
}


If a mouse is over a tile, as a test I was expecting it to just not be drawn.  But NO MATTER WHAT, that Contains method returns TRUE.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

I decided to dive in and make my own crude pixel-inside-sprite check.

Here is how I am checking if the mouse's coords are within the sprite.  I also show how I setup a few tiles (which are stored in an array of sprites).

Code: [Select]


tiles[0].SetPosition(0.0f, 400.0f);
tiles[0].SetRotation(45.0f);
tiles[1].SetPosition(48.0f, 400.0f-48.0f); //puts the 2nd tile by the 1st with
tiles[1].SetRotation(45.0f);                   //some space inbetween.

for(int i = 0; i < 36; i++)
{
    if(mouseX >= tiles[i].GetPosition().x)
        if(mouseX <= (tiles[i].GetSize().x + tiles[i].GetPosition().x))
     if(mouseY >= tiles[i].GetPosition().y)
       if(mouseY <= (tiles[i].GetSize().y + tiles[i].GetPosition().y))
     game.Draw(tiles[i]);
}


Im guessing that this isnt working because of the sprites being rotated.
But can someone please give me a solution!  There has to be a means to do this lol.  All I want to do is when the mouse is over a tile, then its going to highlight it, just like in a chess or checkers program.

EDIT:  Yep it is because of the tiles being rotated 45 degrees.  I undid this and it works perfectly.  Now can someone just help me figure out how to accomodate for the 45 degree rotation?

Use sf::Drawable::TransformToLocal on your points when comparing them.

Did you mean for that link to be a youtube video of Mirrors Edge? lol..
EDIT: Ok I see you fixed the link, thanks!  Would you mind applying that to my code because ive shown many variations of my code as it has progressed and I would like to see how you mean to use it.  thanks!

For example, if you have an object that's 100 by 100 pixels, then you can convert a global mouse coordinate using TransformToLocal. After the transform, you can test for a click inside the object by doing x >= 0 && x <= 100 && y >= 0 && y <= 100. This will work even if the 100 by 100 object is scaled and rotated. It's quite useful.

Code: [Select]

   sf::Vector2f Size  = tiles[i].GetSize();
    sf::Vector2f Point = tiles[i].TransformToLocal(sf::Vector2f(mouseX, mouseY));

    if (tiles[i].GetSubRect().Contains(Point))
        game.Draw(tiles[i]);

Thanks a lot!  I got it working.
But just for the record, Contains doesnt take a Vector2f, it takes 2 ints.
