Hi there,
I’m trying to make a scrollable map in gdscript. The way I’m going about this is to use a bit pattern so I can distinguish between certain cases and make my camera move accordingly, depending on the position of the mouse. All possible cases are held in an enum defined on the top of my script and the pattern I want to modify is the scrollMask variable:
var scrollMask = 0
enum SCROLL_DIR { SCROLL_LEFT = 1, SCROLL_RIGHT = 2, SCROLL_TOP = 4, SCROLL_BOTTOM = 8 }
Now for the input handling, I implemented the _input method, checking the InputEventMouseMotion. Here I’d like to test if the mouse is close to the border of the screen and if that’s the case, adjust the scrollMask variable:
# check if we need not to scroll
# between left and right bounds
var between = event.position.x > scrollAreaDistance && event.position.x < get_node("Camera2D").get_viewport_rect().size.x - scrollAreaDistance
# between top and bottom bounds
between = between && event.position.y > scrollAreaDistance && event.position.y < get_node("Camera2D").get_viewport_rect().size.y - scrollAreaDistance
if (!between):
if (event.position.x < scrollAreaDistance):
scrollMask = scrollMask & SCROLL_DIR.SCROLL_LEFT
print("left")
if (event.position.x > get_node("Camera2D").get_viewport_rect().size.x - scrollAreaDistance):
scrollMask = scrollMask & SCROLL_DIR.SCROLL_RIGHT
print("right")
if (event.position.y < scrollAreaDistance):
scrollMask = scrollMask & SCROLL_DIR.SCROLL_TOP
print("top")
if (event.position.y > get_node("Camera2D").get_viewport_rect().size.y - scrollAreaDistance):
scrollMask = scrollMask & SCROLL_DIR.SCROLL_BOTTOM
print("bottom")
print("scrollMask: " + String(scrollMask))
else:
scrollMask = 0
However, the output I get is not what I’d expect:
What am I missing?
And if somebody has a better idea of how to achieve what I’d like to do, every hint is also appreciated
