I am making a 2d plat former esc game and I have my game translate my characters x and y cords so my character is always in the middle of the screen, it seems however that mouseX and mouseY do not translate... how would I convert the mouseX and mouseY cords?
here is my translation code
void draw() {
background(100);
if (updateBlocks == true) {
updateBlocks();
}
pushMatrix();
translate(-player.location.x + 320, -player.location.y + 320);
mx = mouseX -player.location.x + 320;
my = mouseY -player.location.y + 320;
for(int a = 0; a < mapWidth; a ++) {
for(int b = 0; b < mapHeight; b ++) {
if(mx >= 16 * a && mx <= 16 * a + 16 && my >= 16 * b && my <= 16 * b + 16) {
map[a][b] = 1;
updateBlocks();
break;
}
}
}
for (int a = validBlocks.size()-1; a >= 0; a --) {
PVector validBlock = validBlocks.get(a);
rect(validBlock.x, validBlock.y, 16, 16);
}
player.update();
player.display();
popMatrix();
}
Yes, mouseX and mouseY are in terms of your window, regardless of your transformation matrix (translate, rotate, etc). (0, 0) is at the top-left corner no matter what's going on in your screen.
You have to translate that point yourself. In your case, some basic subtraction will do.
