how i get the x, y, width, height of something draw

[vitail]

if i draw in the main.lua a rectangle, like this

Code: Select all

player = love.graphics.rectangle('fill', x, y, 32, 32)

i can get something like the x, y position or width and height with a function or something in love?

love.graphics.rectangle doesn't return anything, so assigning the result to a variable is not useful. That function draws a rectangle, it doesn't create a rectangle object. Store x/y/w/h elsewhere and pass the values to the rectangle function instead.

no. Love doesn't store that information. You should store the x,y, width, and height yourself.

Code: Select all

local rects = {}

function love.load()
  table.insert(rects, {x=100,y=100,w=200,h=50})
  for i=1,10 do -- let's add 10 random rectangles
    table.insert(rects, {x=math.random(0,600),y=math.random(0,480),w=32,h=32})
  end
end

function love.draw()
  for index, rect in ipairs(rects) do 
    love.graphics.rectangle('fill',rect.x,rect.y,rect.w,rect.h) 
  end
end
