Looking for a GUI - objects and lines in the window

[nitekram]

I finally figured it out, but I think I need to create a list of things to do, and in what order - for dealing with GDI+ graphics, is there any WIKI, on how to use these functions. I mean the help files are helpful, but they really do not describe the order of things, and how to make something happen on a given control. Not complaining, just am having a very hard time figuring this out.

I am trying to further this example, but am stuck on getting the images to move (after being moved over another object). There is a msgbox('','','hit'), that when enabled, lets only one image move, the one that is being move on top of the original. I do not want the MsgBox to hit, but still want only the image that is being moved, to move to the correct position, but when I disable the msgbox - it moves both images.

To test this example...move an image to the right side of the screen. Now move another on top of it, making sure the mouse is over the first image (still working on the image and not the mouse, but it will come later)

So for those that I confused...I am trying to not allow images to move on top of each other - blocking them from staying over each other. For now, all I have is the mouse over the image working...so you have to release the second image, while the mouse is over the first image.

Here is the code...can someone suggest a way of working this out?

EDIT

Possible fix is to move the mouse - I replaced the msgbox with:

MouseMove($g_aCtrls[$x][10] - $aImagePos[2] - 50, $g_aCtrls[$x][11], 0)

 

EDIT 2

That does not seem to work, as the next image will not move  to the next position - moving 1, 2 and then 3 onto 2, does not move 3 away

Anyone know of a post that might help me out? Or any thoughts on how to change what I have to get what I would like to do?

[nitekram]

Seems I can not get that Math right...can anyone help me out. I feel I am close, but there is an area, beside the math part, that the image will align to, but it is not in my parameters - meaning the image will be closer to the blocked one, and then further away in areas around the corner of the blocked one.

I am trying to not allow the image to come in contact with the smaller square - that will be an image, but for testing wanted a square. The outer square is where I want the image to land (or not go past), but it bleeds into some areas, and then is further away around the corners of the outside square.

I will have next week a closer look to the collision problem. Meanwhile have a look here: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/170315-collision-detection-with-gdi/?do=findComment&comment=1245469

Maybe it will give you some more ideas.

[nitekram]

I was going to start a new post on this, but maybe someone will read this and fill in the blanks - since it appears that might be the fix

 

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_GDIPlus_PathIsVisiblePoint.htm

 

The graphic handle option, cuts off - there are a few help files with this same ending. Can someone fill in the blank?

That is twice I have been schooled lol, never thought of going to source - thanks, will look into this soon. 

[nitekram]

I was not able to understand the Path, so I started again with this, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out why it only works with the first image (the top one on the left). All the other ones, will allow for the any image to cover them. I have been at this for a few days, and no matter what I try, I cannot seem to get it right.

I do not believe this function -

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/libfunctions/_GDIPlus_PathIsVisiblePoint.htm

is what I was looking for, as I am only using the squares for a reference - meaning, I am going to be moving the images on the left to the right, and once placed, I do not want other images to over lap them by an offset of X. Reading what this function does, it works with lines and arcs, and such.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/530a2kct(v=vs.110).aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

I am still looking, though I thought I found a thread that would help, but lost it. It was random boxes floating down and when another came down it stopped at the top of the one below - though I do not remember if it was using the same function or not. And I have looked and still cannot find.

 

This is the closes I have gotten so far...I need to fine tune it.

forget to save moved control position

[nitekram]

That did not seem to work, as the images were able to overlap each other. I looked but could not find out where it was allowing it, as it appears the code is right, but maybe not the conditions?

[UEZ]

I understood that the controls should not overlap.

Edit: sorry, found the bug. I updated the code.

Edited July 8, 2015 by UEZ

[nitekram]

I tried yours, and it is not much different than the one I posted. Both still have issues when coming in from the corners - but it is workable. I am still going to look at it, as I have other stuff going to be added, and I will see how much it affects the script.

[LarsJ]

Optimizing the Collision function

Because the rectangles have the same size it's easy to optimize the Collision function. In order to check whether the right rectangle overlaps the left rectangle, it is enough to check if the midpoint of the right rectangle is inside the dotted rectangle.

The height and width of the dotted rectangle is twice the height and width of the solid. The midpoint of the dotted rectangle is the same as the midpoint of the solid.

The four lines in the Collision function can be reduced to one line where you check if the midpoint is inside the dotted rectangle.

You have to store information about the dotted rectangles and the midpoints in the arrays.

I will take a look at this tonight, but there are going to be different size rectangles, is that going to make a difference?

To be honest I didn't check in details what you did. So, the ideas were the same...

You have to store information about the dotted rectangles and the midpoints in the arrays.

That might be shorter and faster but with the 4 lines version you can check more or less which edge causes the collision if you need more details about the collision.

Anyhow, nice to know that "trick". I will add it, too.

I assume this should also work for different rectangle sizes as long as they are rectangles and not other more complex objects.

Edited July 8, 2015 by UEZ

[LarsJ]

nitekram, No, rectangles of different sizes will not make a crucial difference. But you will need to store information about all the dotted rectangles. I'll add an example in the weekend.

UEZ, Because there are many more checks without collision than checks with collision, it's important that the collision check is as fast as possible. For the most checks without collision the extra information is useless anyway. When you know, that there is a collision, you can calculate the extra information.

For more complex objects you can use the trick for the bounding rectangles. When you know that the bounding rectangles collides, you can make a more complex collision check for the objects.

Edited July 8, 2015 by LarsJ
Complex objects

[LarsJ]

Optimizing the Collision function 2

Code to determine whether a point is inside a rectangle is very simple and should certainly not be performed with a function call. Perform the calculation directly:

If $x1 < $mx And $mx < $x2 And $y1 < $my And $my < $y2 Then ; Collision

What are you using for the offset - half the size of the box (rectangle) that is moving or the stationary box?
