Getting troubles with drawText (invisible)

[ScarPunk]

Hello every one.

Today i am working on raycast, and a wanted to draw key value of an entity, but unfortunately it's doesn't draw text ;(

Here is a screenshot of the render:

 

As you can see i am drawing first fps (who works)

then draw the line

and to finish draw keyvalue of the hit box (Fail)

 

Here is my code:

bool App::Loop()
{
	//quit ?
	if (window->Closed() or window->KeyHit(Key::Escape))return false;

	Red->Move();
	Green->Move();
	Blue->Move();
	world->Update();

	if (window->KeyDown(Key::Right))
	{
		camera->SetRotation(Vec3(camera->GetRotation().x, camera->GetRotation().y + 4, camera->GetRotation().z));
	}

	//REFRESH STUFF
	Time::Update();
	context->SetColor(0, 0, 0, 0);
	context->Clear();
	world->Render();


	//DRAW FPS
	context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Alpha);
	context->SetColor(255, 0, 0, 1);
	context->DrawText("FPS : " + String(Time::UPS()), 10, 20);

	//DRAW LINE
	context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Solid);
	context->SetColor((world->Pick(rayCastFirst, rayCastEnd, pickInfo) ? (rayCastColorOn) : (rayCastColorOff)));
	context->DrawLine(camera->Project(rayCastFirst).x, camera->Project(rayCastFirst).y, camera->Project(rayCastEnd).x, camera->Project(rayCastEnd).y);

	//set sphere to hit
	hitSphere->SetPosition((world->Pick(rayCastFirst, rayCastEnd, pickInfo,0,true)) ? (pickInfo.position) : (rayCastFirst) );
	
	//if hit DRAW KEY VALUE
	if (world->Pick(rayCastFirst, rayCastEnd, pickInfo, 0, true))
	{
		//fail
		context->SetColor(1, 1, 1, 1);
		context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Alpha);
		context->DrawText(pickInfo.entity->GetKeyValue("Color"), 20, 40);

	}


	context->Sync(true);

	return true;
}

 

Any reply will be appreciate ?

Try printing some other text first, that will tell you if the world->pick has succeeded.  And maybe the entity doesn't have keyvalue named Color?

I put the DrawText(Keyvalue) before drawing the line, it's work but i don't know why it's doesn't works after drawing a line ?‍♂️

Try setting the same color as when drawing the FPS. You currently draw with an almost black color.

Ah I see it now, your doing a pick again but this time the sphere is in the way. Try setting the spheres pick mode to '0' I think it is... or what would be better is to do the check once.

bool success = world->Pick(rayCastFirst, rayCastEnd, pickInfo, 0, true);

//Now use pickInfo

I tried both solutions without success but i find a fix !

I need to draw the keyvalue before drawing the line.

This is good but i don't know why it's work ;(

Glad you got it working.  Your code at the moment is very inefficient.  You should structure it like this;

...	
world->Render();


//DRAW FPS
context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Alpha);
context->SetColor(1, 0, 0, 1);								//Use values 0.0 to 1.0
context->DrawText("FPS : " + String(Time::UPS()), 10, 20);

PickInfo pickInfo;
bool success = world->Pick(rayCastFirst, rayCastEnd, pickInfo);
if(success == true)
{
      //DRAW LINE
      Vec3 firstPos = camera->Project(rayCastFirst);
      Vec3 lastPos = camera->Project(rayCastEnd); 
      context->DrawLine(firstPos.x, firstPos.y, lastPos.x, lastPos.y);

      //DRAW KEY VALUE
      context->SetColor(1, 1, 1, 1);
      context->DrawText(pickInfo.entity->GetKeyValue("Color"), 20, 40);
}

//set sphere to hit
hitSphere->SetPosition((success == true) ? (pickInfo.position) : (rayCastFirst));

context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Solid);
context->Sync(true);

...

It works thanks
