I'm trying to move an object (DarkCube using Darkengine plugin) to wherever the mouse is clicked.

I can make the object move in reaction to the clict event np.
just it's about 4 miles off screen.

what is the ratio between a DarkObjects co-ords and those returned by the mouse.



this moves it a long way off screen.

soes anyone have any advice on this?

cheers

The delta between the two should be easy to figure out if I know the value of moving 1 unit whatever it is in the object.Move(float x, float y, float z) method.

in my 800 x 600 game window moving an object like so.

object.move(1, 0, 0); = nearly to the edge of the screen.

is there anyway to know how many pixels 1 unit equals?

ok,

I have attached a demo of the movement issues I've been having in another thread - "Windows Form - Moveable Cube".

you can see from the code attached in that thread that I have guesstimated that 1 Move Unit (don't know a better term for this) = roughly 250 pixels.

it has allowed me to get pretty close in the move object to current mouse position. but it's just off a little bit.. especially in the Y axis.

maybe seeing the source code will help with this issue a little bit. I'm sure theres some functions out there already to return the move units in pixels.


cheers

Have you dig into the code snippets forum? Maybe there is something there that helps you...
