Pixi override method with typescript

[ozgun]

Hello,

I want to use Container's method in my typescript class. How can i do this? Like this:

public addChild( child:PIXI.Container ):PIXI.Container 
		{
            super.addChild(child);

			child.x = 0;
			child.y = -(child.height / 2);
			
			var holder:PIXI.Container = new PIXI.Container();
			this._itemDictionary[ child.name ] = holder;
			
			super.addChild( holder );
			holder.addChild( child );
			holder.alpha = 0;
			this.positionItems();
			
			return child;
		}

Whats stopping you? Except that there might be several children passed there

VSCode gives me this attached error

Did you actually look at signature of original method in d.ts file? PixiJS handles cases when several children are mentioned in the method.

Ok I've handled it. Thank you.

public addChild(...child:PIXI.DisplayObject[]): PIXI.DisplayObject {
        child[0].x = 0;
        child[0].y = -((child[0] as PIXI.Container).height / 2);

        var holder: PIXI.Container = new PIXI.Container();
        this._itemDictionary[child[0].name] = holder;

        super.addChild(holder);
        holder.addChild(child[0]);
        holder.alpha = 0;
        this.positionItems();

        return child[0];
    }

btw, there's "renderable=false" / "renderable=true" switch, alternative to "alpha=0". ITs checked in all "render()" methods in Container .

Ok. Thank you.
