Bullet shooting in mouse direction

What jumps from A to B when what is clicked?

#42

I’m trying to say when I want the bullet to shoot at the mouse after one mouse click :expressionless:

#43

So use InputProcessor:


@Override
public boolean touchDown (int x, int y, int pointer, int button) {
   if (button == Buttons.LEFT) {
      Entity ball = new Entity(cannonBallTexture);
      entities.add(ball);
      return true;
   }
   return false;
}
#44

Wasn’t too sure where to use that method. I removed the pointer parameter because I don’t know what to put in it. I used it and still no change in results

touchDown(Gdx.input.getX(), Gdx.input.getY(), 0);

You don’t call it yourself, and you can’t change the method signature.

If you read the libGDX wiki page I linked, you would see this:

Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(inputProcessor);

[quote]From this point on, all new input events will be pushed to the MyInputProcessor instance. Events are dispatched right before the call to ApplicationListener.render(), on the rendering thread.

Just make your TestScreen implement InputProcessor, and set it as the main event handler.

Unnecessary, I figured it out. Another lesson learned, read the code. I just had to comment this part of the Entity class.

if (!screenBounds.contains(position.x, position.y))
         reset();

so it wouldn’t reset.
