texture and sprite

[lorence30]

Can i load more than one image to texture and set texture to sprite?

example:
sf::Texture texture;
texture.loadFromFile("image1.png");
texture.loadFromFile("image2.png");

does the image1 get destroyed? if not how can i choose which image i want to render.
example:
sprite.setTexture(texture.choosewhatiwanttoset("image1.png"));
sprite.setTexture(texture.choosewhatiwanttoset("image2.png"));
...
same question for sprite,
window.draw(sprite.choosewhatiwanttorender("image1.png"));

thanks

Short: No, yes.
Long: No you cannot load multiple "images" intro one sf::Texture, You can use/set sprite to draw a sf::Texture

does the image1 get destroyed? if not how can i choose which image i want to render.
Short: yes, ?
Long: The image1.png will be released/destroyed, and image2.png will be loaded.

Global answer: You probably want to make two sf::Texture and load each one with different image.
Then you can use sf::Sprite to chose which one you want to draw via sf::Sprite spr1; spr1.setTexture(...) function. That's how you can go around switching around what you want to draw.

You can use/set sprite to draw a sf::Texture
i mean can i set more then one texture to sprite without the previous texture getting destroyed,
but you already answered it in global answer.

thanks

@BaneTrapper

by the way, would you recommend having one sprite object for each tetxture object? so you will only load 1 time per texture, instead of one sprite for more than one texture

[BaneTrapper]

Sprites setTexture(...) function is cheap, you can use only one sprite, and change texture which you want to display/draw.

In the end it depends on what you want to do, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference doing it ether way.
