I have a rotating image and I'd like to get the coordinates of the rotated 4 corners, I need this to check collisions. I have drawn a square to show what I get using left / top / width / height of the image element.
I found this thread but I'm not sure what are xm and ym: Get new x,y coordinates of a point in a rotated image
I also tried to follow this example but even replacing the picture with a div and adding the dummy divs I end up with the same square: Get actual pixel coordinates of div after CSS3 transform
I think that my problem might be that I'm using perspective. Below you can see the picture of the best I could get so far (black border).
I have the following css:
.card {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 500px;
width: 20%;
border: 2px solid white;
}
.card-rotate {
animation: card-rotate;
animation-duration: 1500ms;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
}
@keyframes card-rotate {
0% { transform: perspective(400px) rotateY(-55deg) }
100% { transform: perspective(400px) rotateY(-75deg) }
}
***************** EDIT:
after using get getClientRects() I got closer, but still no quite what I need:
let card = document.querySelector(".card");
console.log(card.getClientRects());
// I relized that most of the following variables are useless, sorry for the confusion they were there for another attempt I made
let nwx = card.getClientRects()[0].left;
let nwy = card.getClientRects()[0].top;
let nex = card.getClientRects()[0].right;
let ney = card.getClientRects()[0].top;
let sex = card.getClientRects()[0].right; // also I got to name a variable sex, which is kind of cool
let sey = card.getClientRects()[0].bottom;
let swx = card.getClientRects()[0].left;
let swy = card.getClientRects()[0].bottom;
let path = document.getElementById("cardArea");
let pathString = "M" + nwx + " " + nwy;
pathString += " L" + nex + " " + ney;
pathString += " L" + sex + " " + sey;
pathString += " L" + swx + " " + swy;
pathString += " L" + nwx + " " + nwy;
path.setAttributeNS(null, "d", pathString);
