Character update/render methods

[S_Rank_Crazy]

Hey guys,


Been playing around with some of the sprite update methods and was wondering: Is there a way to stop the Scene_Map from updating its sprite logic, but still have the sprites animate?


I had overridden the Scene_Map.prototype.update method and called just


this._spriteset.update();


but no dice. Spriteset_Map seems to be how the sprites update, but the rendering seems to be done outside of that. I looked through all of the Scene update methods in the superclass hierarchy for Scene_Map but didn't see anything directly link to triggering a render pass. Even backtracked to pixi.js and had a look at the PIXI.Sprite class - I just got confused there.


Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

So I assume no one has ventured this far in to the RM/pixi.js implementation. Was a long shot anyway.

Rendering is done in SceneManager.renderScene(), which happens after all updates are done.

Hey, thanks for the reply.


I had ventured into the logic for the renderScene method, but looks like the issue I had was more in the area of not knowing what actually updates the sprites' render state, i.e. where the frame count is updated that determines which frame of an animation to render. By overriding a Scene's update method I'm seemingly stopping this process from happening, from what I gather the Spriteset.update method updates all child sprites, so if my custom Scene.update method calls the Spriteset.update method it should still update the sprites, right? Not sure what I'm missing.
