Hello, I am trying to make a game in SFML, and have this annoying texture problem. I have a load function in one of my implementation files, and it loads a texture from a .png, and stores it in a member variable (so it does not get garbage collected as soon as the function ends). I am aware of the white square problem, and I believe that is the error I am receiving. https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/graphics-sprite.php#the-white-square-problem (https://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.1/graphics-sprite.php#the-white-square-problem)
If I load my texture globally, it works. but I do not understand why it does not work, since the texture is a private member variable of the Screen class.
I have checked and the texture is loaded in properly, but when it is time to render in another function, It does not work. It works if I load my sprite in the render function from a texture, but that does not seem very efficient.
void Screen::titleScreenLoad()
{
if (!m_backgroundTexture.loadFromFile("assets/home_screen_background.png"))
{
std::exit(1);
}
sf::Sprite sprite(m_backgroundTexture);
m_vecOfSprites.push_back(sprite);
}
void Screen::titleScreenRender() const
{
for (int i = 0; i < m_vecOfSprites.size(); ++i) // loops through all sprites and displays
{
m_window->draw(m_vecOfSprites[i]);
}
m_window->display();
}
