[sfml2]Mouse pos in 2d world! [SOLVED]

[player931402]

I need to rework my classes for update my little engine but today i'm encountered in an error:


I run those "check" codes for finding the position of the mouse and :

This show the position of the mouse on desktop

sf::Vector2i mousepos = sf::Mouse::getPosition();

This show the position of the mouse on window

sf::Vector2i mousepos = sf::Mouse::getPosition(window);

But what code need I to run for know what is the position of the mouse on my 2D world ?


For example, now the funtion return that my mouse is on position (0,0) (i placed it at left-top) but in my world it's in position (213,352);
How can I find the 2D coords position of mouse with a sf::(mouse ?)::function ?

Use the convertCoords() function of the sf::RenderTarget (i.e. sf::RenderWindow). If you want the transformation for a specific sf::View you can also supply that view as second parameter.

mmm

i tried

                sf::Vector2i mousepos = sf::Mouse::getPosition(window);
                window.convertCoords(mousepos,window.getView());

and without window.getview() too, but still giving wrong coord.

convertCoords doesn't transform the given coordinates, it returns a new point.

sf::Vector2f converted = window.convertCoords(mousepos);

Note that calling it with window.getView() is useless, it always takes the current view by default.
