Title: Overload draw?
Post by: caelestis on January 13, 2010, 03:18:03 am

How would I overload the draw function for RenderWindow so that I can update the objects properties before I draw it? I'm a little noobish sorry.

You could update the properties of the Sprite before calling Draw?

You cannot overload a function in a foreign class without intruding it (and the surrounding namespace), which you shouldn't do.

Just write a free function that performs the required actions.

Code: [Select]

void UpdateAndDraw(sf::RenderWindow& Window, sf::Sprite& Sprite)
{
    // update Sprite here
    Window.Draw(Sprite);
}
