Hey,

So i wanna check if my mouse pointer is over an area or a sprite. So i used the following

if (sprite.getBoundingRectangle().overlaps(Gdx.input.getX(), Gdx.input.getY()) {
    // do something
}

But i can't use the mouse X and Y with overlaps it seems. My first solution for this was to create a rectangle at the mouse X and Y and whenever that overlaps with another rectangle it'll do what i want, but then i found this solution and it seems easier and faster. So which one to use and how can i fix this? .-.

Thanks:)

if (sprite.getBoundingRectangle().contains(Gdx.input.getX(), Gdx.input.getY()) {
    // do something
}

Maybe use the contains method instead of the overlaps method. Remember if your using a camera u need to unproject the mouse coordinates first before passing them to the contains method.

Unprojection version:

Vector3 mousePosition = camera.unproject(new Vector3(Gdx.input.getX(), Gdx.input.getY(), 0f));

if (sprite.getBoundingRectangle().contains(mousePosition.x, mousePosition.y) {
    // do something
}

Yes i did unprojected the camera and i asked this because well i ask on the libgdx forums and someone told me that i have to use overlaps and that's why i was confused but i figured it out not thanks a bunch.
