SFML 2.0 Text scrolling

[Cronnoc]

I have screen scrolling working but i want to have text scroll with the screen. because at the moment my player moves and the screen scrolls but the text doesn't.

[Cronnoc]

hello?

[firedraco]

Text has a position like everything else; you'll have move it along if you want it to follow the screen.

[Cronnoc]

can i have an implementation

[Zephilinox]

screen moved
move text by same amount

[Cronnoc]

Implementation in code

[N36fSL3A]

Just add the velocity of the camera to the text x & y coordinates.

Your question is vague to the point of uselessness and I suspect you could find your answer by googling a sufficiently non-vague set of search terms.

Well i tried doing that in various ways . but i am getting errors .

intially i i wrote

Code: [Select]


while (Text.Position() ! = 100 )
Text.Move( 0 ,App.GetFrameTime() * SCROLL_SPEED) ;


I mean , i wanted the scrolling to take place till a certain position

but how do i get to know the position ? I was going through the documentation , but could understand much from it.

[Cronnoc]

has anyone got it to work

[Cronnoc]

ok let me change the question. does anyone know how to make text stay on the screen regardless of if the screen scrolls

[Lachlan Easton]

It depends on how the screen is scrolling.

[Cronnoc]

it scrolls along a background when the players x/y co-ordinates are in the centre of the screen.

[Cronnoc]

and i want it to be stuck to the view not the screen

You can set the position of the text relative to the view, then.
Assuming you have your RenderTarget and a Text object to draw, just something like:

// set to very top left of the view
text.setPostion(target.getView().getCenter().x - target.getView().getSize().x/2,
                target.getView().getCenter().y - target.getView().getSize().y/2);
