Question

I was going to use

GetInput()

for this code but I have to use something different instead. pollEvent gives me these errors:

error C2664: 'sf::Window::pollEvent' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'sf::Event &'
error C2664: 'sf::Window::pollEvent' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'sf::Event &'

The code is:

int x = camera->GetPosition().x + window->pollEvent(sf::Mouse::getPosition().x);
int y = camera->GetPosition().y + window->pollEvent(sf::Mouse::getPosition().y);

Thanks!

sf::Window::pollEvent() takes an argument of type Event& event, but you’re trying to pass sf::Mouse::getPosition().x/y. I have no clue why you’re calling window->pollEvent() at all, and from what it looks like you’re trying to do, you can just remove the function call and add sf::Mouse::getPosition().x/y directly.

Edit: Based on your comment, it looks like you want to something more like this:

sf::Event event;
while (window->pollEvent(event)) // Be sure to put this in your main event loop
{
    if (event.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed)
    {
        int x = camera->GetPosition().x + event.mouseButton.x;
        // ...
    }
}
