LÖVE

Hello everybody,
I was wondering how to set a point(with a x,y) in an image, so when the image change your position, the point in the image also changes its position in the same proportionality.

It is possible to do in Löve ? How can i do that ?

What? I dont understand what you mean, but I guess... Just calculate the position?

I'm guessing a simple would do it. (though this code is indeed unstructured, and a bit ugly because of that )

sorry, i've expressed myself badly ..(damn! google translate ¬¬' )

I wanted to create a point in an image (by point, understand something that has x and y coordinates and is relative to a image) and that this point accompany all image movements in which it is; For example, if the image moves up, this point also moves and remains in the same place relatives to the image. If the picture rotates, the point moves along

Code: Select all

-- use somewhere, like in love.load or another function you don't call every frame
img = love.graphics.newImage("whatever.png")
xImg = 100
yImg = 100
-- relative to image - coordinate offsets
oxPoint = 10
oyPoint = 15

-- ...

-- love.draw
love.graphics.draw(img,xImg,yImg)
-- important part
love.graphics.point(xImg+oxPoint,yImg+oyPoint)

would do it. (though this code is indeed unstructured, and a bit ugly because of that )

Something like this, but if the point is on top of an image like a rectangle, and the rectangle rotate aside, the point does not move relatively to the image, it is stopped. I have this problem

You never mentioned rotation though, but it should work as it is with moving the image by modifying xImg and yImg
Rotation is a bit trickier.

sorry, I have explained badly my doubt ..
I wanted to make a picture orbit over another image (the two images are circles).. i'll keep trying..
thank you

Pretty easy to do using a (dirty word) canvas.

Like this? The 7th and 8th variable changes where it's drawn from.

This is usually achieved using translation matrices. There's a bit of work to do to implement it on your own, but it's a basic requisite for 2d video games so there are quite a few tutorials out there explaining how to achieve it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translati ... eometry%29

As far as I know, the only existing Love functionality that can help with this is in the love.physics module. https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Body:getWorldPoints
But unless you actually need physics support in your game, it makes no sense to start creating bodies and fixtures just so you can use the transformation logic.

I doubt he even needs to calculate it, drawing might be enough already.
