PIXI.interaction in RPG Maker MV

[R. Grey]

(I've seen many threads about PIXI in MV before, but not about this subject, so I make a new one. If someone already made one, I would be grateful if you link it below)

A group of people I'm collaborating with is using RPG Maker MV. I don't have much experience with this engine before, but IMHO, the engine performance is ... erm, not very good, and it also lacks many pointer/touch related events that I need.

I managed to convert the bitmap system to pure PIXI sprites. But,

sprite.interactive = true;
sprite.on('pointerdown', foo)

is still not working. I thought that maybe MV overrided PIXI somehow, so I take out all input classes of MV, 

TouchInput.init();
Input.init();
TouchInput.update();
Input.update();

still failed. Also tried manually updating plugins.interaction in the game loop. Same result.

So what is it that I am missing? Did MV override PIXI interaction with something else that I hadn't taken out, or do I need to update other certain PIXI classes in order to solve this problem?

To use pixi interaction in MV, there is a special hack. something-something put "pointer-events:none" on foreground div, I dont remember which

I've sent you a PM with contacts of people who know that issue.

don't use pixi interactive in the rmmv engine.
Also rmmv dev add note that made memory leak.

Stage.prototype.initialize = function() {

PIXI.display.Stage.call(this);

 

// The interactive flag causes a memory leak.

this.interactive = false;

};

 

just use event listener.

document.addEventListener('mousemove', mousemove_Editor);

document.addEventListener('mousedown', mousedown_Editor);

document.addEventListener('mouseup',mouseup_Editor);

document.addEventListener('wheel', wheel_Editor);

document.addEventListener('keydown', keydown_Editor); 

 

You can easily bind what you need to a method.
Or made Global array that old what you need.
they are very good performance.

 

You can also debug or check in you console for understand .

interactive memory leak was a thing back then when it was based on v3. Im not sure whether it leaks in v4.

I guess it true, I did not really get interested in the pixi interaction module.

Knowing that the event listener dom are rather simple and powerful.

There is a particular interest in using the pixi interaction module (performance, simpliciter) ?
