How to crop a RenderTexture

[starobrno]

Either there are serious flaws or im really stupid, i tried so many ways to somehow crop a renderTexture, but none worked, there are a few past entries in this forum and in other places that complain that you cant crop a rendertexture, all of the suggestions dont work currently.

(doesnt work)

 

 

No matter if i build a Rendertexture with 

 

rendertexture = tempContainer.generateTexture();

 

or with 

 

rendertexture .render(tempContainer);

 

i can display the rendertexture itself fine if i place it inside a sprite and add it to the stage.

But theres not a single technique i found to generate a subtexture it and then add it to the stage.

 

i tried new PIXI.Texture(rendertexture, x, y), i tried PIXI.Texture(rendertexture.baseTexture, x, y), i tried .crop, i tried .frame.

 

I don't know where to go from here.

 

Could anyone try if they can get it to work?

All i could accomplish is stretching it.

 

Thanks so much in advance, this is a core feature for my app and i appreciate any help!
