sprite filled with white color

[lorence30]

it says that you will get white screen when the texture the sprite is pointing is no longer alive.

heres my constructor

WeirdAlien::WeirdAlien()
{
    _sprite.setTexture(loadAlien());
    alien_position[ctr].x = ctr * 32;
    ++ctr;
}

void drawAlien(const int alien_count,const std::vector<Alien*>alien,const bool isAlienAlive[6],sf::RenderWindow& game_window)
{
    for ( int a = 0; a < alien_count; a++ )
        if (isAlienAlive[a])
            game_window.draw(alien[a]->setSprite());
}

im still getting white square problem, why?

Can you give your full code? That which you've given references many functions which we can't see.

loadAlien returns a copy of an sf::Texture which gets instantly destroyed. Return an sf::Texture&
