Detect single mouseclick - move sprite

mollekake · 2013-02-25T14:56:42

Hello everybody! I'm a bit new to this whole game programming, and pretty new to xna/c# aswell. I've been doing some hobby-programming with c#, but nothing large. I know some java, and have made a couple plugins for minecraft/bukkit, so hopefully i will grasp the c# language quicker. I want to make a point-and-click game in 2D. I will be doing my pixelart myself, and it will be extreamly basic So here's my problem: I want the spreite to move along the X axis on the screen when i click once with the mouse. If i click again, it will move to the new position. But i can't get it to detect a single click. I can make the sprite move when i hold down the mouse-button. i found this one way with google's help, but i don't understand how that should work: It doesn't anyway. var currentMouseState = Mouse.GetState(); var lastMouseState = currentMouseState; ... if (lastMouseState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Released && currentMouseState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed) { Console.WriteLine("should move"); Position += direction * 5; } i am ofcourse missing a bunch of code, but the console still don't output "should move".

Well it is kinda wrong, that if line detects when the mouse is clicked and the last state was unclicked.

i changed it to this to be correct:


if (newState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Released && oldState.LeftButton == ButtonState.Pressed)
