I've looked at several examples of people creating tile maps, and I am unable to get the tile position where my mouse is pointed at.
I am using a spritebatch and GameTile[][] to create the map. Keep in mind that the tiles themselves are isometric and not actually a square.
The method renderMap() is where the map is actually is being rendered. createMap() just sets the initial GameTiles for an empty map.
The map is able to be dragged and zoomed in and out using Ortho camera.
Zooming out gives me an issue as well, the tiles seem to be shifted over on click
public class MapEditor implements GameScene {
private GameContext context;
private SpriteBatch batch;
private OrthographicCamera camera;
public static GameTile[][] tiles; //GameTile.WIDTH = 64 & GameTile.HEIGHT =48
public static final int MAP_WIDTH = 20;
public static final int MAP_HEIGHT = 36;
public MapEditor(GameContext context) {
this.context = context;
tiles = new GameTile[MAP_WIDTH][MAP_HEIGHT];
}
@Override
public void create() {
renderer = new ShapeRenderer();
this.batch = new SpriteBatch();
camera = new OrthographicCamera(Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
}
public void createMap() {
// Create the sea tiles
for (int x = 0; x < MAP_WIDTH; x++) {
for (int y = 0; y < MAP_HEIGHT; y++) {
if (y < 3 || y > 32) {
if(tiles[x][y] == null) {
tiles[x][y] = safezone;
}
}
else {
if(tiles[x][y] == null) {
tiles[x][y] = cell;
}
}
}
}
}
@Override
public void update(){
// update the camera
camera.update();
}
@Override
public void render() {
batch.setProjectionMatrix(camera.combined);
batch.begin();
Gdx.gl.glViewport(0,0, Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
renderMap();
batch.end();
}
public int getTileX(float x, float y) {
/*
* getRegionWidth() = TILE_WIDTH_HALF
* getRegionHeight() = TILE_HEIGHT_HALF
* these are the ones being added to worldCoords.x/y
*/
Vector3 worldCoords = camera.unproject(new Vector3(x, y, 0));
return (int)((TILE_WIDTH_HALF * ((-TILE_HEIGHT_HALF + (worldCoords.y + TILE_HEIGHT_HALF)) /
TILE_HEIGHT_HALF) + (worldCoords.x + TILE_WIDTH_HALF)) / TILE_WIDTH_HALF) / 2;
}
public int getTileY(float x, float y) {
/*

Vector3 worldCoords = camera.unproject(new Vector3(x, y, 0));
return (int)(((-TILE_HEIGHT_HALF * (TILE_WIDTH_HALF + (worldCoords.x + TILE_WIDTH_HALF)) /
TILE_WIDTH_HALF) + (worldCoords.y + TILE_HEIGHT_HALF)) / TILE_HEIGHT_HALF) / 2;
}
@Override
public boolean handleClick(float x, float y, int button) {
int tileX = getTileX(x,y);
int tileY = getTileY(x,y);
System.out.println("Tile:"+tileX + ","+tileY);
}
private void renderMap() {
for (int i = 0; i < tiles.length; i++) {
for(int j = 0; j < tiles[i].length; j++) {
TextureRegion region = tiles[i][j].getRegion();
int x = (i * GameTile.TILE_WIDTH / 2) - (j * GameTile.TILE_WIDTH / 2) - region.getRegionWidth() / 2;
int y = (i * GameTile.TILE_HEIGHT / 2) + (j * GameTile.TILE_HEIGHT / 2) - region.getRegionHeight() / 2;
if (canDraw(x, y, GameTile.TILE_WIDTH, GameTile.TILE_HEIGHT)) {
batch.draw(region, x, y);
}
