[itachi]

Hello!so i want to detect when the mouse is over a sprite and continue executing some code until the mouse exits the area...with mouseover it executes the code once and thats sadly not enough for me...with mousemove i cant execute code when the mouse just hovers in sprite...any help would be appreciated ty

Use a boolean value to indicate when mouse is on & check in render. Or add the render listener when pointerover happens & remove it with pointerout. Or if you dont prefer events you can do a hittest and see if current pointer position overlaps with your object.

For example

let isOn = false;
sprite.addEventListener("pointerover", ()=>isOn=true);
sprite.addEventListener("pointerout", ()=>isOn=false);

const onRender = ()=>{
  if(isOn){
    // do something.
  }
}

btw i was trying something like :

setInterval(function(){this.emit("do things");}.bind(this),1000);

do you have any idea why this failed?
