POScene2d - Rotated actor not translated as expected
text
Body
copied!<p>I asked this at the libgdx forums but didn't get a response so I was hoping y'all could help me out:</p> <p>I have Actors that represent game pieces. What I'm trying to do is make it so the player can click-and-drag the tile to move it around the screen and rotate it multiple times before submitting the placeTile command. From what I understand of DragAndDrop it doesn't seem to be designed with my use case in mind so I figured I'd instead attach a dragListener listener to each game piece (code below). It works well for dragging, except I can't figure out how to set the 'minimum distance before drag starts' to 0... but that's not my main question (though any insights would be appreciated )</p> <p>Anyway, the big problem comes in when I rotate the actor, and then try to drag it: At 30 degrees rotation, drag acts almost like normal: at 60 degrees, very small movements of the mouse send the actor moving in a tight circle very quickly. Another 30 degrees, the tile actor exits the screen in 1-2 frames, moving in a wide arc. If the actor is rotated clockwise, it's movements are clockwise; same pattern for counter-clockwise.</p> <p>It looks like the translation of the actor is taking rotation into account; I guess my question is, is it possible to rotate an Actor/Group without the rotation affecting future translations? Alternatively, is there a better way to drag an Actor around the screen based on touch/mouse input? I included some code below: I imagine I'm screwing up something basic, but I can't figure out what:</p> <pre><code>// during initial stage creation tileActor.setOrigin(tileActor.getWidth() / 2, tileActor.getHeight() / 2); tileActor.addListener(new DragListener() { public void dragStart(InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer) { chosenTileActor = event.getTarget(); } public void drag(InputEvent event, float x, float y, int pointer) { Actor target = event.getTarget(); target.translate(x, y); } }); </code></pre> <p>And for the listener that deals with rotation via scrolling mouse wheel:</p> <pre><code>multiplexer.addProcessor(new InputAdapter() { @Override public boolean scrolled(int amt) { if (chosenTileActor == null) return false; else chosenTileActor.rotate(amt * 30); return true; } }); </code></pre> <p>Any pointers? Am I even going the right direction by using DragListener? </p> <p>Thanks for reading!</p>
