Forums » Help » Font not drawing

Hello.

I have a UI entity that I want to draw things such as HP, MP and gold on. I copied the code form Impact's Hello World, but it doesn't seem to work.

EntityUiIdle = ig.Entity.extend({

	size: {x: 160, y: 32},

	animSheet: new ig.AnimationSheet('media/uiIdle.png', 160, 32),

	font: new ig.Font( 'media/04b03.font.png' ),

	
	init: function (x, y, settings) {
		this.parent(x, y, settings);

		this.addAnim('default', 1, [0]);

		ig.game.spawnEntity(EntityPortrait, 1, 102, this.zIndex + 1);
		ig.game.spawnEntity(EntityClass, 1, 93, this.zIndex + 1);

		ig.game.sortEntitiesDeferred();
	},

	update: function () {
		this.parent();

		this.font.draw("Hello World!!", 1, 110);
	}
});

Can someone please help me find out what's wrong?

Thanks in advance.

You should put your drawing of the font in a draw() method instead of update().

Just add this:

    draw: function () {
        this.parent();
        this.font.draw("Hello World!!", 1, 110);
    }

Oh, lol. Thanks that fixed it :)

Sure, glad I could help :)

I wish my problems were only that easy to solve :D
