Hi,

in my project I am using a flickable with a SpriteSequence and some other items inside. I also added a SpriteBatchContainer to control the arrangement of the items and the Spritesequence. When I flick now, the Spritesequence is moving much faster, than the other items.

Here is some code to try:

<code class="language-qml">import VPlay 1.0
import QtQuick 1.1

GameWindow {
    activeScene: scene

    width: 960
    height: 640
    
    Scene {
        id: scene

        Flickable{
            id: flickable
            width: parent.width
            height: parent.height
            contentHeight: background.height
            contentWidth: background.width

            Rectangle{
                id: background
                color: "blue"
                width: 1000
                height: 1000
                z: 1


            SpriteBatchContainer{
                id: container
                z: 2
            }

                MySprite{
                    id: sprite
                    x: 500
                    y: 500
                    width: 100
                    height: 100
                }


                Rectangle{
                    id: testRect
                    color: "red"
                    width: 70
                    height: 100
                    x: 480
                    y: 480
                    z: 3
                    opacity: 0.5
                }


            }//Background


        }//Flickable
        
    }//Scene
}

When you comment out the SpriteBatchContainer, the Spritesequence is placed/moving correctly, but I need a way to make the arrangement of the Spritesequence.

Thanks,

Hi Heini,

the SpriteBatchContainer must not be placed inside the Flickable, as the position of the SpriteSequence then gets calculated wrong like you are experiencing it.

Can you put the Images that you are using to overlay the SpriteSequence in a Spritesheet too? Then you can order them correctly, it will however not work with Rectangles.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

like suggested, I made it now by putting all images to stay on top in a SpriteSheet and it seems to work. It was a tricky part, because I have also an onscreen display and a screen popping up after finishing a level, that should cover the scene (with the sprites) but also be able to show some text. I wish, z-sorting with sprites would be easier…

However, after adding the Spritesheet, i get now lots (hundrets?) of “cocos2d : getActionByTag: Target not found” in the console output. What does this mean?

 

Cheers

Hi Heini,

sorry for sprites & spritebatch handling being a bit tedious – we will improve that in the ucpoming major update. The log output got added by accident in the previous release, you can ignore it right now and we’ll remove it in the next daily build coming next week!

Cheers, Chris
