I can't figure this out for the life of me – my project was 100% fine until after installing the new templates (w/ clang). My project wouldn't build after the Xcode 5.1 update released a few weeks ago – through research I found that I had to recreate my project and through frustration I simply did that by recreating the files and pasting the code into a command line template project. Now I am having an issue with (some) sprites displaying.
Example: My player fires a bullet. Sometimes the texture is loaded to the bullet, sometimes it is not (white square), sometimes it is a gray line (?).
Here is a gif to show you exactly what I'm referring to:
the blinking spike is the texture that should be loaded ... as you can see, the texture is sometimes failing to load. I have other sprites, such as the player and enemy which don't fail at all:
I'm using a Textures class which holds a container for all the sprites to retrieve as reference:
Textures.h
namespace Textures
{
struct TextureObject
{
std::string t_name;
sf::Texture t_texture;
};
class TextureContainer
{
public:
void AddTexture(std::string textureFile);
void TextureList();
TextureContainer();
sf::Texture& SetTexture(std::string temp_name);
std::vector<TextureObject*> textureVector;
};
typedef std::vector<TextureObject*> ::iterator textureIter;
}
Textures.cpp
#include "Textures.h"
#include "ResourcePath.hpp"
namespace Textures{
void TextureContainer::AddTexture(std::string textureFile)
{
TextureObject* newTexture;
newTexture = new TextureObject;
newTexture->t_texture.loadFromFile("/Users/darionmccoy/Desktop/Dooberry/Platformer/Platformer/" + (textureFile));
newTexture->t_texture.setSmooth(false);
newTexture->t_name = textureFile;
textureVector.push_back(newTexture);
}
void TextureContainer::TextureList()
{
std::cout << "Loaded textures ..." << std::endl;
for (textureIter it = textureVector.begin(); it != textureVector.end(); it++)
{
std::cout << (*it)->t_name << std::endl;
}
}
TextureContainer::TextureContainer()
{
AddTexture("block.png");
AddTexture("spike.png");
AddTexture("icon.png");
AddTexture("blip.png");
AddTexture("blip_2.png");
AddTexture("blip_3.png");
AddTexture("bomb.png");
AddTexture("bomb_2.png");
AddTexture("smoke.png");
AddTexture("Pplayer.png");
AddTexture("cluster.png");
AddTexture("polygon.png");
AddTexture("circle.png");
AddTexture("grunt.png");
TextureList();
}
sf::Texture& TextureContainer::SetTexture(std::string temp_name)
{
for (textureIter it = textureVector.begin(); it != textureVector.end(); it++)
{
if((*it)->t_name == temp_name)
{
return (*it)->t_texture;
}
else if(it == textureVector.end() && (*it)->t_name != temp_name)
{
std::cout << "Texture not found" << std::endl;
}
}
}
}
Example of how the texture is set (the bullet):
Projectile::Projectile(Textures::TextureContainer& t_container) : Object (t_container)
{
Object::objectSprite.setTexture((t_container.SetTexture("spike.png")));
Object::objectSprite.setTextureRect(sf::IntRect(0, 0, 25, 8));
}
And the enemy:
Grunt::Grunt(Textures::TextureContainer& t_container) : Object (t_container)
{
objectSprite.setTexture((t_container.SetTexture("grunt.png")));
objectSprite.setTextureRect(sf::IntRect (0,0,20,30));
objectSprite.setPosition((rand() % 300 + 100),0);
}
I would think it is a constructor issue, but I am at a loss what to change since they are all initialized the same way (polymorphism).
I have 0 errors or warnings. Also, I'm on Osx 10.9.2 and Xcode 5.1. Thanks in advanced guys ... in the meantime, I'll try to get some clues.
