[SOLVED] A Simple Question About width, height, halfWidth, halfHeight

(Bora Kasap) #1

That one works perfect:

x = FP.world.getInstance("playerx").x;

Also that one works perfect too:

x = FP.world.getInstance("playerx").x + 20;

But when i use this:

x = FP.world.getInstance("playerx").x + FP.world.getInstance("playerx").halfWidth;

it returns the same value with this one:

x = FP.world.getInstance("playerx").x

My guess is that you never set the width of your player’s hitbox, and you’re expecting it to return the width of the image.

You can set the hitbox to the size of the image like this:

graphic = myImage; // or spritemap, or whatever.
setHitboxTo(graphic);

It worked. Just a few minutes ago, i was set hitbox like that:

setHitBox(width, height);

Now, it seems thats the problem. I wasn’t know width and height are belongs to hitbox.

Thanks so much.

yo, storing your player instance on a local variable will make this a bit better!

var player:Entity = world.getInstance("playerx");
x = player.x + player.halfWidth;```
