Cocos2d-x v3 Cannot override forward function Draw

Question

//in my .h file
virtual void draw();

//in .cpp
void GameLayer:draw()
{
   Layer::draw();
   //draw code goes here
}

It shows cannot override forward function node::draw()

As far as I know, it was working on the old versions. Is there any new approach in cocos2d-x 3.0?

Thanks in advance.

m c++ is rusty but i think you just need to remove the .h declaration of the method, after all it's already declared in the node's header – Auklet

No boss, removing from .h shows the same error on .cpp – Barrettbarrette

Answer 1

in v3.0 overriding the draw() method has changed.

try in .h:

virtual void draw(Renderer* renderer, const kmMat4& transform, bool transformUpdated);

try in cpp:

void draw(Renderer* renderer, const kmMat4& transform, bool transformUpdated)
{

}

If you are running the latest version 3.1 from GitHub, this has changed. Replace kmMat4 with Matrix

Edit: maybe you need to namespace it: cocos2d::Renderer

I recall trying this in my proj and getting Renderer object not recognized as if that object is local to Node in cocos2d and not exposed by importing the cocos2d.h – Suborder

Can you somehow show me the errors? Renderer is very core. There should be no reason for it to not be "exposed" – Shandishandie

If I try to override this method I just get syntax error: identifier 'Renderer' while having #include cocos2d.h at the top. – Suborder
