Help with white texture sprite issue

[MrSnappingTurtle]

Hi, I am trying to draw certain sprites, but they end up being drawn as white squares or even distorted. Everything that has been drawn as a white rectangle follows the following format:

Object
-Texture
-Sprite

Then the level has a list of objects.

It then returns the list by copy to the engine which draws it.

Here is the code for the trees:

The end result:


Other items are having the same issue such as the gun. The tiles aren't and they are the only ones stored in a regular array. Could that have something to do with it?

Thanks!

What should the white squares represent?

Also have you read this:

It's a rather bad idea to let your tree object hold the texture and this also most likely the origin of your problem, because once you push_back the tree, you're creating a copy of the tree, thus the texture reference will be lost and you get a white square.
Instead you should manager your resources outside of the class, for example with a resource holder.

Thanks man, it now hold a pointer to a texture inside an ImageManager class. That way when it's copied it still points to the same place. Thanks again!
