I have a script that places tiles on the room at the mouse pos when you click but it gets off set because the screen coordinates are different than room coordinates.How would you get the xy position of the room underneath the cursor?
function game_start()
{
tileguide=Overlay.CreateGraphical(player.x, player.y,3);
}
function repeatedly_execute_always()
{
if(beforetilenum<100000)
{
beforetilenum+=1;
}
if(beforetilenum==100000)
{
beforetilenum=0;
}
if(tile[beforetilenum]==null)
{
tilenum=beforetilenum;
}
if(tileguide.Y<mouse.y&ileguide.X<mouse.x)
{
//bottom right
tileguide.X+=60;
tileguide.Y+=30;
}
if(tileguide.Y>mouse.y&ileguide.X>mouse.x)
{
//topleft
tileguide.X-=60;
tileguide.Y-=30;
}
if(tileguide.Y<mouse.y&ileguide.X>mouse.x)
{
//bottomleft
tileguide.X-=60;
tileguide.Y+=30;
}
if(tileguide.Y>mouse.y&ileguide.X<mouse.x)
{
//top right
tileguide.X+=60;
tileguide.Y-=30;
}
int dfg=3;
if(mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseLeft))
{
tile[tilenum]=Overlay.CreateRoomGraphical(tileguide.X, tileguide.Y, dfg);
File* tilemap;
tilemap=File.Open("tilemap.txt", eFileAppend);
String s;
s=String.Format("tile[tilenum]=Overlay.CreateRoomGraphical(%d,%d,%d);",tileguide.X, tileguide.Y, dfg);
tilemap.WriteRawLine(s);
tilemap.Close();
}
if(IsKeyPressed(eKeyRightArrow))
{
Game.Camera.X+=13;
}
if(IsKeyPressed(eKeyLeftArrow))
{
Game.Camera.X-=13;
}
if(IsKeyPressed(eKeyUpArrow))
{
Game.Camera.Y-=13;
}
if(IsKeyPressed(eKeyDownArrow))
{
Game.Camera.Y+=13;
}
}
The tileguide should be in the same place as the cursor but it should be able to send xy room position of tileguide to tile[tilenum].
Any thoughts on how to do this?
In a scrolling room you need to add GetViewportX() / GetViewportY() to mouse.x and mouse.y to get the right room coordinates.
Thankyou very much! :smiley:
Actually I just realized that theres Screen.screentoroompoint.
I don't know how I never saw that before.

To clarify, the new way to do this
since AGS 3.5.0 is:
Game.Camera.X and Y.
Also, if you are using a more complex room viewport/camera setup (with viewport offset and camera zooming), then there's Screen.ScreenToRoomPoint and Screen.RoomToScreenPoint functions.

Yes, of course, sorry. I still haven't used Game.Camera, so I forgot about it.
For some reason, I also didn't know about those Screen functions.
