Graphics / Re: how to set background.

« on: July 13, 2021, 07:20:50 pm »

The problem here is that while using the .setTexture() function and an sf::Texture the .setTexture() function expects to be given a pointer so:

RenderWindow window(VideoMode(1024, 786, 32), "Test 32");

        Texture texture;
        texture.loadFromFile("background.png");
        Sprite sprite;
        Vector2u size = texture.getSize();
        sprite.setTexture(&texture);  //This is where you add an & to designate texture as a pointer
        sprite.setOrigin(size.x / 2, size.y / 2);

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                Event e;
                while (window.pollEvent(e))
                {
                        if (e.type == Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }
                window.draw(sprite);
                window.display();
        }
