Hello, I am trying to make a topdown shooter game, but my problem is that I can’t make the player rotate correctly. The main camera is following the player, but whenever the camera moves, this.input.mousePointer.worldX and worldY don’t update if I don’t move the pointer. So I searched for this pro…

What are you trying to do? If you are trying to get a reticle, there is an example for that but here is how I would do it using event listeners: this.input.on('pointermove', function(pointer) { reticle.x = pointer.x + this.cameras.main.scrollX; reticle.y = pointer.y + this.cameras.main.scrollY;…

Thats the thing, I don’t want reticles

Oh sorry. Do you just want to get the position of the mouse? somewhere in global scope: var mouseX = 0; var mouseY = 0; In create(): this.input.on('pointermove', function(pointer) { mouseX = pointer.x + this.cameras.main.scrollX; mouseY = pointer.y + this.cameras.main.scrollY; });

If you wanted a more “right” way to do this then you can use vectors but they are a little difficult to wrap your head around if you’re a beginner. somewhere in global scope: vec2 mouse = (0,0) In create(): this.input.on('pointermove', function(pointer) { mouse.x = pointer.x + this.cameras.mai…

Unfortunately, it has the same result. It works okay when you constantly move the mouse, but when you don’t and just move the camera, the x, y of the pointer don’t refresh.

Ohhhhh. Yeah that totally makes sense. Sorry I misunderstood a little. Put mouse.x = pointer.x + this.cameras.main.scrollX; mouse.y = pointer.y + this.cameras.main.scrollY; somewhere inside your update() function, and get rid of the mouse move listener. That’s my bad. This answer assumes your us…

Where do i get the pointer.x and pointer.y from then?

You should be access the variable(s) from anywhere if you declared it globally. You can declare it globally by putting it in a script tag in your html. e.g. // index.html <script>var mouseX; varMouseY;</script>

yes that’s the mouseX, mouseY but what about the pointer.x in this "mouseX = pointer.x + this.cameras.main.scrollX

Of course. Give me one second I have to find it in the docs
