Rendering Game AFTER update()

[liakos1992]

When changing a sprite's x and y in the update loop, the new position will not show until the next update(). This way, when I attach a health bar on a unit with velocity, while the unit is moving the health bar will always be behind that unit.

 

How can I have the rendering to be done AFTER the "update()" loop?

maybe you can set a bar's fixedToCamera property to true creating it with the nescessary starting coords

I want to render the game after update() for various reasons

As to the health bar, check out preUpdate, which is where the positions of things are calculated. Don't forget to call the base class' preUpdate method too... important stuff happens there.

 

As to rendering the game after update: that's a pretty fundamental change to how Phaser's rendering cycle works. "render after update" is the solution; what's the problem?
