Title: easiest way to repeat a texture to fill a rectangle
Post by: dubesinhower on May 05, 2013, 04:41:59 am

i'm trying to use a texture as a background, but when i use a sprite set with a texture that is set to repeat, it only shows the texture one time and it doesn't repeat. am i not using this function correctly?

i also tried applying the texture to a rectangle shape, but it just stretches the texture to fill the box one time.

any tips would be appreciated!

You must use a textureRect which is bigger than the texture size, and set the texture as repeated (texture.setRepeated(true)).

This is explained in the tutorial.

the texture is set to repeat, and the area is huge compared to the texture. but it only stretches a single copy of the texture to fill the the rectangle.

edit: derp, didnt notice the need for textureRect as apposed to rectangleShape. ill check it out

edit: k figured it out. didn't know you had to set a sprite's textureRect to be the size of the rectangle i wanted to fill. thanks for the help!
