setTextureRect() not changing the sprite

[MrSnappingTurtle]

Hi,

So in my header file for the player I have this code:

const std::array<sf::IntRect, 3> INTERACT
        {{
                sf::IntRect(11, 0, 11, 10),
                sf::IntRect(22, 0, 11, 10),
                sf::IntRect(11, 0, 11, 10)
        }};

And then in the source file I have this inside the update function:

 if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Space) && animationState != interact)
        {
                 animationState = interact;

                 for (int i = 0; i < INTERACT.size(); i++)
                 {
                         sf::Clock frameTimer;
                         sprite.setTextureRect(INTERACT[i]);
                         std::cout << "Sprite: " << i << "should have changed..." << std::endl;
                         //Waits to iterate the next frame
                         while (frameTimer.getElapsedTime().asMilliseconds() < 100) {}
                 }

                 animationState = idle;
                 std::cout << "done!";
        }

Now, the problem is that the sprite.setTextureRect(INTERACT(i)) part does not work. The cout does run so I know that the function is being called. If I hold down the spacebar, however, it will eventually be showing just the last frame. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

You aren't drawing the sprite anywhere in that function, so it just cycles through the texture rects without putting anything on screen.

Not directly related to you problem, but don't use while (frameTimer.getElapsedTime().asMilliseconds() < 100) {}. Instead use sf::sleep. This way, instead of having a process using 100% of the CPU for nothing, others processes can do stuff.
