sprintf(text, "%d", x) always gives 0

Hi,

Why do I always get 0 in text? What is the best way to compare the x and y coordinate of an actor with screen boundaries?

x is an float variable.
So, use:

Code: Select all

sprintf(text, "%f", x);

Or:

Code: Select all

textNumber = x;

What is the best way to compare the x and y coordinate of an actor with screen boundaries?

You can compare the xscreen and yscreen of the actor with the width and height of the view.

Hmm...did you want to check some actor x and y coordinate by displaying their values on screen?

Code: Select all

int i=actor.x;
int j=actor.y;
sprintf(text,"%i,%i",i,j);

You can't just add them directly.

%i will not work. It is a float. Will use %f like maks mentioned.

Whats the reason for x to be float? As far as i know xmouse is integer. I am confused. Is there a document where I can find the types?

In the fisrt GAme Editor versions the x and y was integer.
But some games need screpts like " x += 0.5;". So x and y are promoted to double vars.
The xmouse and ymouse keep integer (the mouse always returns integer coordinates).

I am confused. Is there a document where I can find the types?

Only in the code:
