How are sf::Textures saved?
« on: May 02, 2013, 10:46:05 am »
To elaborate/be more specific, are sf::Textures copied into the sf::Sprite or does the sf::Texture need to always be reference-able by the variable?

Explanations? :D

Quote from: Sprite.cpp
void Sprite::setTexture(const Texture& texture, bool resetRect)
{
    ...

    m_texture = &texture;
}

Quote from: Sprite tutorial
When you set the texture of a sprite, all it does internally is to keep a pointer to the texture instance. Therefore, if the texture is destroyed or moves elsewhere in memory, the sprite ends up with an invalid texture pointer.

Does it answer your question?
