sprite_prefetch_multi(array);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| array | Array with the sprite indices to fetch |
Returns: N/A
This function can be used to prefetch (place into texture
memory) a number of texture pages that contain the sprites given.
You supply an array populated with the sprite indices (as defined
when you created the sprite asset) and the texture pages that they
are on will be loaded into memory.
NOTE: There is a performance hit as the texture is uploaded to texture memory on most devices, so it's recommended that you call sprite_preftech_multi on any required graphics at the start of a level to avoid any stalls.
spr_a[0] = spr_Player_Aura1;
spr_a[1] = spr_Player_Aura2;
spr_a[2] = spr_Player_Aura3;
spr_a[3] = spr_Player_Aura4;
sprite_prefetch_multi(spr_a);
The above code creates an array where each element holds a sprite index. This array is then used to place those sprite textures into memory.
