duplicate group

[valentinaCom]

There is a way to duplicate a group?

 

I need 2 groups in my game, that contains the same objects (if I add something to one of them, it's need to be added to the other group too)

You mean like "linking" them together so they share the same children? No, currently this is not possible. Each object in PIXI may only have 0 or 1 parent.

 

**EDIT**

 

Well, it may not work but you can try to hack it together with something like "group2.children = group1.children" so two groups have a reference to the same array. That may work?

I have the same problem.

 

My workaround is to only have 1 "dummy-group" which contains all the children, and 2 array to store the children (the array representing your original 2 group).

I then apply the logic to the array.

 

here is a simple snippet for my List class.

List = function(){    this.arr = [];};List.prototype = {    add : function(child){        this.arr.push(child);    },      insertAt : function(child, idx){        this.arr.splice(idx, 0, child);    },    remove : function(child){        var idx = this.getID(child);        if(idx != -1){this.arr.splice(idx,1)};    },    removeAt : function(idx){        this.arr.splice(idx, 1);    },    getChild : function(idx){        return (idx < this.arr.length ? this.arr[idx] : null);    },    getID : function(child){        for(var i = 0; i < this.arr.length; i++){            if(this.arr[i] == child){                return i;            }        }        return -1;    },    toString : function(){        return this.arr.toString();    }};
