line to problem, really jimmy?

[jimmynewguy]

Wow, why can't i do a line to x, y coordinates
ie:

Code: Select all

lineto(player.x, player.y);

i set the pen so it's not that, and it will work if i say line to 10, 100 but with .x and .y it wont. That makes no sense to me whatsoever. Even if i do

Code: Select all

int x2,y2;
x2 = player.x;
y2 = player.y;
lineto(x2, y2);

it wont work. Is there some reason to this?

Sorry if i sound mad, i'm a little worked up over this

It might be because of the canvas has its own xy plane... kind of. Check this, not sure what you are trying to draw with the line, so it could just be your initial... Does the line actually draw?

x2=abs(player.x-x); seems like it would work. Dunno about the negative xy's though,
y2=abs(player.y-y); i always just put my canvas at game center. Makes it easier.

Funny though, i was going to say more but someone called me in the middle of typing out my example, and during that time sky came in and posted ahead of me. lolol.

If you'd like, I could show you another method of making the line follow the actor.
