[Solved] Face Location in Scrolling Room.

[glurex]

Hi

I realize I have a problem with "face location" in scrolling rooms (in "normal" rooms it works great). I set FaceLocation to get coordinates from mouse, so when the cursor interacts with something like a character, hotspot, object... in some specific side of the room the player character turns that direction.
I suspect that this problem in scrolling rooms have to do with room coordinates being different to screen coordinates. So instead of the classic

Code: ags

player.FaceLocation(mouse.x, mouse.y);

I write this:

Code: ags

player.FaceLocation(mouse.x - (Game.Camera.X), mouse.y - (Game.Camera.Y));

But didn't work at all, and now I'm pretty confuse about it

It should be

Code: ags

player.FaceLocation(mouse.x + (Game.Camera.X), mouse.y + (Game.Camera.Y));

It should be

Code: ags

player.FaceLocation(mouse.x + (Game.Camera.X), mouse.y + (Game.Camera.Y));

Many thanks CW!

Screen coordinates are limited to the screen size while a scrolling room's coordinates can be much larger. Therefore you need to add the camera coords to go from screen coordinates to room coordinates, subtract them to go from room to screen.

And no need to put Game.Camera.X in parens btw.

Thanks! Now I understand what I was doing wrong.

That's right, good observation. It was a remainder of a primitive idea (I wanted to add some pixels of "distance", but later I discarded that idea.) and I forgot to remove them.
