I have a sprite called Tool that moves with a speed represented as a float and in a direction represented as a Vector2. When I click the mouse on the screen the sprite change its direction and starts to move towards the mouseclick. In addition to that I rotate the sprite so that it is facing in the direction it is heading. However, when I add a camera that is suppose to follow the sprite so that the sprite is always centered on the screen, the sprite won't move in the given direction and the rotation isn't accurate anymore. This only happens when I add the Camera.View in the spriteBatch.Begin(). I was hoping anyone could maybe shed a light on what I am missing in my code, that would be highly appreciated.
Here is the camera class i use:
public class Camera
{
private const float zoomUpperLimit = 1.5f;
private const float zoomLowerLimit = 0.1f;
private float _zoom;
private Vector2 _pos;
private int ViewportWidth, ViewportHeight;
#region Properties
public float Zoom
{
get { return _zoom; }
set
{
_zoom = value;
if (_zoom < zoomLowerLimit)
_zoom = zoomLowerLimit;
if (_zoom > zoomUpperLimit)
_zoom = zoomUpperLimit;
}
}
public Rectangle Viewport
{
get
{
int width = (int)((ViewportWidth / _zoom));
int height = (int)((ViewportHeight / _zoom));
return new Rectangle((int)(_pos.X - width / 2), (int)(_pos.Y - height / 2), width, height);
}
}
public void Move(Vector2 amount)
{
_pos += amount;
}
public Vector2 Position
{
get { return _pos; }
set { _pos = value; }
}
public Matrix View
{
get
{
return Matrix.CreateTranslation(new Vector3(-_pos.X, -_pos.Y, 0)) *
Matrix.CreateScale(new Vector3(Zoom, Zoom, 1)) *
Matrix.CreateTranslation(new Vector3(ViewportWidth * 0.5f, ViewportHeight * 0.5f, 0));
}
}
#endregion
public Camera(Viewport viewport, float initialZoom)
{
_zoom = initialZoom;
_pos = Vector2.Zero;
ViewportWidth = viewport.Width;
ViewportHeight = viewport.Height;
}
}
And here is my Update and Draw-method:
protected override void Update (GameTime gameTime)
{
float elapsed = (float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds;
TouchCollection touchCollection = TouchPanel.GetState ();
foreach (TouchLocation tl in touchCollection) {
if (tl.State == TouchLocationState.Pressed || tl.State == TouchLocationState.Moved) {
//direction the tool shall move towards
direction = touchCollection [0].Position - toolPos;
if (direction != Vector2.Zero) {
direction.Normalize ();
}
//change the direction the tool is moving and find the rotationangle the texture must rotate to point in given direction
toolPos += (direction * speed * elapsed);
RotationAngle = (float)Math.Atan2 (direction.Y, direction.X);
}
}
if (direction != Vector2.Zero) {
direction.Normalize ();
}
//move tool in given direction
toolPos += (direction * speed * elapsed);
//change cameracentre to the tools position
Camera.Position = toolPos;
base.Update (gameTime);
}
protected override void Draw (GameTime gameTime)
{
graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear (Color.Blue);
spriteBatch.Begin (SpriteSortMode.BackToFront, BlendState.AlphaBlend, null, null, null, null, Camera.View);
spriteBatch.Draw (tool, new Vector2 (toolPos.X, toolPos.Y), null, Color.White, RotationAngle, originOfToolTexture, 1, SpriteEffects.None, 1);
spriteBatch.End ();
base.Draw (gameTime);
}
