Trying to move the player

albert albert

Hi Everybody,

I am bussy with a gam: Quest and try to move picturebox1. But the output is very strange.

I am using 4 buttons to move the player.

Here is the project.

THX!!

Accepted answer
It may be logical -but it's not practical
I removed mover class - mainly because it was easier for me to get the player moving
Put it back in, but make sure that the move method gets player current position and the player gets the movement info back

yes, or 10. But My intention is to move the player and then to move the annemies

but this method seems logical:

[code]
public Point Move(Direction direction, Rectangle boundaries)
{
Point newLocation = location;
switch (direction)
{
case Player.Direction.right:
newLocation.X += MoveInterval;
// if (newLocation.X + MoveInterval <= boundaries.Right)
// newLocation.X += MoveInterval;
break;
case Player.Direction.left:
if(newLocation.X - MoveInterval >= boundaries.Left)
newLocation.X -= MoveInterval;
break;
case Player.Direction.up:
if (newLocation.Y - MoveInterval >= boundaries.Top)
newLocation.Y -= MoveInterval;
break;
case Player.Direction.down:
if (newLocation.Y + MoveInterval <= boundaries.Bottom)
newLocation.Y += MoveInterval;
break;
default:break;
}
return newLocation;
[/code]

I did a small test for the down button(I pressed several times on the button) and it seems the player doesnt move, output:

[output]
{X=278,Y=132}
{X=278,Y=132}
{X=278,Y=132}
{X=278,Y=132}
{X=278,Y=132}
{X=278,Y=132}
[/output]

How do you want the player to move ? 5 pixels at a time ?

But I if u put a breakpoint on the move method u see that the line will be reached. What u suggest than?

The player is moving - to point (0,0)
In class mover.move, you are not supplying an intial point to add to moveInterval
The movement of the player is way too complicated
