Saving Sprite Position

Question

I have a sprite that when reaches a certain position it gets removed:

 if(sprite.getY()>=700){
      enemyIterator.remove();
      Pools.free(sprite);
}

I wan't to save the last position of the sprite before it gets removed,I tried sprite.getX() and sprite.getY() but those are only usable while the sprite is in the game.

Answer 1

Based on provided additional information. Sprite methods getX() and getY() returns float values. So you can assign values returned by these methods to variables of type float for later use.

float lastX, lastY;

if(sprite.getY()>=700){
  lastX = sprite.getX();
  lastY = sprite.getY();
  enemyIterator.remove();
  Pools.free(sprite);
}

System.out.println("Removed sprite coordinates where: " + lastX + ", " + lastY);

Answer 2

Maybe you can't get the last position where the sprite is , but you can save the last position what you draw in this frame , you always need to set a position when you draw every frame and if something happen , catch the last position , for example .

private Rectangle bordes;

public Ball(float x, float y,int isMoved) {
    ..........
        texture = new Texture(Gdx.files.internal("bola.png"));
        bordes = new Rectangle(x, y, texture.getWidth(), texture.getHeight());
    ..........
    }

public void draw(SpriteBatch batch) { 
    //where i draw my last texture or sprite  was bordes.x bordes.y in this frame
        batch.draw(texture, bordes.x, bordes.y, texture.getWidth(), texture.getHeight());
    }

public vois getLastPosition(){

lastX = bordes.x;
lastY = bordes.y;

}
