My (messy) code is like this: [code] public boolean obstructpixel(int x, int y) { // modified by rbp if (!horizontalWrapable && (x < 0 || (x >> 4) >= getWidth())) return true; if (!verticalWrapable && (y < 0 || (y >> 4) >= getHeight())) return true; if(horizontalWrapable && x < 0) x+= (getWidth() << 4); if(horizontalWrapable && (x >> 4) >= getWidth()) x-= (getWidth() << 4); if(verticalWrapable && y < 0) y+= (getHeight() << 4); if(verticalWrapable && (y >> 4) >= getHeight()) y-= (getHeight() << 4); int t = obsLayer[((y >> 4) * getWidth()) + (x >> 4)]; if (tileset.GetObs(t, x & 15, y & 15) == 0) return false; return true; } [/code] In the same class, in the BlitLayer method, now you want to render the beginning of the map when you're close to its end, and vice-versa: Original code was something like: c = layer.GetTile(xtc + x, ytc + y); Now you need to change it to: [code] if(horizontalWrapable && verticalWrapable) // New code c = layer.GetTile((xtc + x+getWidth())%(getWidth()), (ytc + y+getHeight())%(getHeight())); else if(!horizontalWrapable && verticalWrapable) c = layer.GetTile((xtc + x), (ytc + y+getHeight())%(getHeight())); else if(horizontalWrapable && !verticalWrapable) c = layer.GetTile((xtc + x+getWidth())%(getWidth()), (ytc + y)); else if(!horizontalWrapable && !verticalWrapable) c = layer.GetTile(xtc + x, ytc + y); [/code] In the Entity class, the getx() and gey() methods need to "teleport" the entity to the beginning of the map, if they go past its end. Also, we need to adapt the waypoint, so the entity won't walk backwards when it reachs the end of the map (because the entity X is 100, and the waypointX 116 can be converted to 16, in a 100x100 map): [code] public int getx() { if(current_map.horizontalWrapable && (x/65536 > current_map.getWidth()<<4 || x < 0)) { x = (x + (current_map.getWidth()<<20)) % (current_map.getWidth()<<20); waypointx = (waypointx + (current_map.getWidth()<<4)) % (current_map.getWidth()<<4); } return x/65536; } public int gety() { if(current_map.verticalWrapable && (y/65536 > current_map.getHeight()<<4 || y < 0)) { y = (y + (current_map.getHeight()<<20)) % (current_map.getHeight()<<20); waypointy = (waypointy + (current_map.getHeight()<<4)) % (current_map.getHeight()<<4); } return y/65536; } [/code] Remember to make the class more OO, and all instances do entity.x and entity.y are converted to entity.getx() and entity.gety(). Finally, the draw method of entity needs to render the entities that are on the other side of the map: Instead of [code] int zx = getx() - xwin, zy = gety() - ywin; [/code] Change it to: [code] int zx = (getx() - xwin + (current_map.getWidth()<<4)) % (current_map.getWidth()<<4), zy = (gety() - ywin + ((current_map.getHeight()<<4))) % (current_map.getHeight()<<4); [/code] And that's it. It can be easily adapted to CPP code. Wraparound maps in Verge! Tested with my old Phantasy Star maps. Regards, Rafael, the Esper
