(SOLVED) Map System [Based on X,Y Locations for each player]

vitinho444 · Post by **vitinho444** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 3:16 pm

Hey all

I wanna know if there's some way of doing a "map system", bascily i need a image (dynamic (clickable)) with some dots (representing each village of a player) and then i would like to store a X and a Y to each dot like a $_POST to redirect to attack.php?x=y= so the player can attack other village..

Not sure if im explaining well, any questions reply

Anyone knows something?

This could be a very simple system, or a very complex system.

Could you explain in some more detail exactly what you want to achieve, how does the user interact with the map? Can the user see other players moving on the map? There are lots of things that need to be considered before starting something like this.

well, its something simple.
Actually its not for players, its for "villages" of the players.

Basicly a image with several points representing the players villages (i got the X,Y values for each one inside my database), then i want each dot with a $_POST so it can redirect to other page and catch at least the X and Y so i can make a query to identify the village.

using post won't have any security benefits.

oK I used that code inside my index.php where for now its just the news.

Here's a pic:
PIC: http://imageshack.us/f/813/mapqu.jpg/

And there are some problems.

Ok first, forget the "style" i fixed it after taking the print.

But there is one problem: I got only 3 villages registred and there are other ones "ghost" villages that aren't created.

I removed the /* */ from your code and added, but without the code between the comments the actual villages disappear from the map and there are only the ghosts ones...

Not sure why this is happening here's the code:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html>
<center>
<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
        #map {
            height: 600px;
            width: 800px;
            border: 1px dashed #000;
            margin: auto;
            overflow: hidden;
        }
        #map .village {
            position: relative;
            height: 50px;
            width: 50px;
        }
        #map .village a {
            height: 50px;
            width: 50px;
            background: #F00;
            border: #F00 1px solid;
            display: block;
        }

Your part is the last part of the code, and the igactivemenu is the area of the news and the area where the map should be displayed.

Thanks a lot for your code i see it works but just need to fix this problems.

Read the code and learn how it works. It's not all that difficult. The beauty of programming is that there's nearly never any harm in trial and error.

Well, im not understanding very well...

Can you explain me what part of the code is what?

Sorry for the time...

vitinho444 · Post by **vitinho444** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 3:47 pm

Ok i got it working like i want to.

But i got one last problem. I added the village name to each village showed on the map but i want to show the name only if i put my mouse over the village so it doesnt use too much space.

How can i do it?

Here's the new code:

Code: Select all

$mapDiv = '<div id="map">';

   $villageQuery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `aldeias`");
    while( $village = mysql_fetch_assoc($villageQuery) )
    {
        // village div should be aligned to center of its axes, not to the top right corner
        // therefore we take half the div height and width of its position

        $mapVillageX = $village['x'] - 25; // 25 = 50/2 (50px)
        $mapVillageY = $village['y'] - 25; // 25 = 50/2 (50px)
		
		$name = $village['nome'];

        $mapDiv .= '<div class="village" style="top: '. $mapVillageY .'px; left: '. $mapVillageX .'px">
                        <a href="village.php?x='. $village['x'] .'&y='. $village['y'] .'">'.$name.'<br>' . $village['x'] . "," . $village['y'] . '</a>
                    </div>';
    }
	
	echo $mapDiv . '</div>';

Thanks a lot for your help
