CCLayer::tick() is not being called

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi,

I’m porting from iOS and have a following inheritance:

class CABPageContent : public CCLayer ... class Page1_Layer : public CABPageContent

I expect that

virtual void tick(float dt);

should be called, but that’s not the case. Any ideas why?

#2

Did you override tick()?

#3

yes, I do override it

#4

Where do you schedule the function call?

Page1_Layer init()?

#5

Nowhere explicitly - I assume cocos takes over this task, I only call CCLayer::init() in my class init().

#6

All examples I have seen explicitly set the update/tick.

this~~>schedule, 1.0f/60.f);
Or
this~~>scheduleUpdate(); //assuming your function matches the expected format i.e. void ClassName::update(float dt)
