[Sakurazaki]

Hi!

I've this code to split one image in multiple sprites.

I need to know if this is the best way, or if I'm doing it right.

Thanks!

You're doing it totally wrong

1. The sprites refers to a sf::Texture which no longer exists after the function ends. It won't be able to show anything from this texture. Please read the tutorial, this issue is clearly described.

2. You don't need to create one texture for each area that you want to assign to a sprite. Just use the textureRect property of sf::Sprite, and use a single big texture for all the sprites.

Well, I just read this tutorial:

http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/graphics-sprite.php

So what i basically have to do, is in these steps:

load texture from file.
to my sprite call sprite.settexture(texture)
and then call setTextureRect to cut the texture to only what i want to show.

Is this right?

[Laurent]

Yes. And make sure to keep the sf::Texture instance alive as long as it is used by the sprites.
