I'm having some issues with implementing the engine with my camera. Basically my camera and the light engine don't line up, or the light engine will cancel out the cameras zoom and stuff like that. I'm not using HUMP but a different one that includes parallax and camera boundaries. The damn camera works wonderfully until I try to put the lights through it. Heres the code for the camera:
Code: Select all
camera = {}
camera._x = 0
camera._y = 0
camera.scaleX = 1
camera.scaleY = 1
camera.rotation = 0
camera.layers = {}
--creates layers for parralax
function camera:newLayer(scale, func)
table.insert(self.layers, {draw = func, scale = scale})
table.sort(self.layers, function(a,b) return a.scale < b.scale end)
end
--draws the parralax layers
function camera:draw()
local bx, by = self._x, self._y
for _, v in ipairs(self.layers) do
self._x = bx *v.scale
self._y = by *v.scale
camera:set()
v.draw()
camera:unset()
end
end
--attaches the camear
function camera:set()
love.graphics.push()
love.graphics.rotate(-self.rotation)
love.graphics.scale(self.scaleX, self.scaleY)
love.graphics.translate(-self._x, -self._y)
end
--detaches the camera
function camera:unset()
love.graphics.pop()
end
--moves the camera
function camera:move(dx, dy)
self._x = self._x + (dx or 0)
self._y = self._y + (dy or 0)
end
function camera:rotate(dr)
self.rotation = self.rotation + dr
end
function camera:scale(sx, sy)
sx = sx or 1
self.scaleX = self.scaleX * sx
self.scaleY = self.scaleY * (sy or sx)
end
function camera:setX(value)
if self._bounds then
self._x = math.clamp(value, self._bounds.x1, self._bounds.x2)
else
self._x = value
end
end
function camera:setY(value)
if self._bounds then
self._y = math.clamp(value, self._bounds.y1, self._bounds.y2)
else
self._y = value
end
end
function camera:setPosition(x, y)
if x then self:setX(x) end
if y then self:setY(y) end
end
function camera:setScale(sx, sy)
self.scaleX = sx or self.scaleX
self.scaleY = sy or self.scaleY
end
function camera:getBounds()
return unpack(self._bounds)
end
function camera:getPos()
return self._x, self._y
end
--sets the bounding box for the camera
function camera:setBounds(x1, y1, x2, y2)
self._bounds = { x1 = x1, y1 = y1, x2 = x2, y2 = y2 }
end
Heres the snippet where my draw is
Code: Select all
function love.draw()
lightWorld:draw(function()
camera:draw()
camera:set()
--normal drawing stuff here--
end)
camera:unset()
end
Yeah, I know I"m calling the lightWorld:draw before the camera:set while having the function end before the camera is unset, but It's the only way I can get it to work at all.
any help would be appreciated>
. Thanks for keeping the plugin alive! Another suggestion would be to implement z-map, although from my perspective that looks to be difficult to implement based on the current structure of the plugin(Unless I am too dumb to see that it's already implemented).
