Two lil questions.

Johyn

Told you that it's a no time pressures project, specially about help, eh. :)

So yes, t'was the confusion player_map_position/player_position, but that being solved, I'm still going back to the same position in my map, when it's not the warp effect. That's strange, one area2D brings me back to the same position, and another brings me back there the first time, then warps back to the scene...

The camera allows me a better range, but I'm still moving the player, and I cannot pin it in the center of my 'hole'(inside an image/sprite covering the map) for minimap... Tried to inverse map and player sprites, but that's buggy, and it's still not pined...

So take your time to think about that, I've got plenty of others things to work on with that project, no hurry eh! :)

Johyn

Ok, sub added my 'holed' background and a camera with no drag margins to my player, and my minimap works fine at present. Just to find that remaining position now...

Johyn

Ok, thought about givin a predefined position in my map for the player, when comin back to it from the 'zones'. A position set close to the zones, wich is not the best, but it should be easier. Here's the code of my zone node2D for that:

`extends Node2D


export (String, FILE) var new_scene_path = null
export (Vector2) var new_scene_player_start_pos = null


func ready():
    set_process_input(true) 
				


func _input(event):
	set_process_input(true) 
	if event is InputEventMouseButton:
        if event.get_button_index() == BUTTON_RIGHT and event.is_pressed():
   								get_node("/root/Global").player_map_position = Vector2(-497,-164)
								get_tree().change_scene("res://Scenes/TESTMAP.tscn")`

But that doesn't work unfortunately... I'm still goin back to my initial position... An idea why so, if got the time?

The script above is on your player/thing-you-are-moving?

If so, I think the reason it's not changing positions is because you're not changing positions in _ready. This code should work:

func _ready(): set_process_input(true) var global = get_node("/root/Global") if (global.player_map_position != null): self.global_position = global.player_map_position "Optional. Will make it where you start at the initial position" "if you change scenes without setting player_map_position" global.player_map_position = null

You just need to add the code above to your player, and then it should start at the correct position (hopefully). :smile:

Johyn

No, actually it's in the node of my zone before changin scene back to the map, tryin to set the global singleton.Sry.

TwistedTwigleg

No, actually it's in the node of my zone before changin scene back to the map, tryin to set the global singleton.Sry.

No worries! I just was not sure.

Maybe in the player's _ready function print out the position to see if it's changing and/or being set? My hunch is something somewhere is not being set, or it's not being read in correctly.

Johyn

The player's position is back to theinitial one, with no concern for my get_node("/root/Global").player_map_position = Vector2(-497,-164) that should set it on my map when exitin the zone...

TwistedTwigleg

Hmm, strange. Can you post a picture/the-code from your player for debugging?

Johyn

Here's the script of my player:

extends KinematicBody2D

var left_mouse_down = false
var tween_node = null

func _ready():
	tween_node = get_node("Tween")
	
func _physics_process(delta):
	if Input.is_mouse_button_pressed(1):
		if left_mouse_down == false:
			var mouse_pos = get_global_mouse_position()
			tween_node.interpolate_property(self, "global_position", global_position, mouse_pos, 1, Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN)
			tween_node.start()
		left_mouse_down = true
	else:
		left_mouse_down = false

Maybe lackin stuff, as I was thinkin that all I had to do was setin the singleton player_map_position when exitin the zone to the player map. Wich would set it for the player once in the map. But the position is not taken into account...

TwistedTwigleg

Well, the reason the player isn't taking the position into account is because your not using it in the player. Thankfully it should be an easy fix!

extends KinematicBody2D
var left_mouse_down = false
var tween_node = null
""
""
func _ready():
    tween_node = get_node("Tween")
    var global = get_node("/root/Global")
    if (global.player_map_position != null):
        self.global_position = global.player_map_position
""
""
func _physics_process(delta):
    if Input.is_mouse_button_pressed(1):
        if left_mouse_down == false:
            var mouse_pos = get_global_mouse_position()
            tween_node.interpolate_property(self, "global_position", global_position, mouse_pos, 1, Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN)
            tween_node.start()
        left_mouse_down = true
    else:
        left_mouse_down = false

(I added some empty strings, "", to make the code easier to read on the forums)

I just added a few lines of code to _ready so it gets the global singleton and sets the position if it has one. That should hopefully make the player take the position into account.

Johyn

Finally, we made it! Thxs so much! :)

TwistedTwigleg

Yay!

Happy to help! :)
