Overlay glitching out?

[Irony]

Egon, can you make a wild guess what could be wrong if an overlay is not visible? It should be rendered on world.renderscene, right?

Debug code:

Code Select Expand


if (arrow==null) arrow = new Overlay(man.world, fb, "arrow");
arrow.setNewCoordinates(50, 50, 200, 200);
arrow.setVisibility(true);


Still, no overlay

[EgonOlsen]

Yes, it should. Try if http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/util/Overlay.html#setDepth(float) can help here.

This helps somewhat. I see it in one scene, but not in the next.
Do I have to do anything with the overlay when I switch cameras?

[EgonOlsen]

"Switch cameras" means setting another camera instance to the same world instance that the overlay belongs to?

[Irony]

World.setcamerato (if this answers the question?)
Btw, using ES 2.0 if this is relevant.

[EgonOlsen]

Yes, that's what i meant. Which version of jPCT-AE are you using? If it's not the latest, please upgrade and try again. If it is the latest...do you have a test case for me to look at to verify this problem?

[Irony]

Probably the latest. Already late today so I'll check on it and prepare a test code tomorrow. Thank you so far and good night

I am now disposing and recreating the overlay after scene change and together with the changed depth, it seems to work.

[EgonOlsen]

I'm still not sure, what the actual issue is...but if it works this way...
