Few basics in cocos2d-x v3 Windows - cocos2d-x

Question

I have some basic questions about some Problems in cocos2d-x v3.
1.) when I create sprites like that:
cocos2d::Sprite *sprite1 = cocos2d::Sprite::create("test.png");
auto sprite2 = cocos2d::Sprite::create("test.png");
How I have to to erease them proplery? Should I use autorelease (it crashes when I use it after create it)? Can I for both variants just use:
sprite1->removeFromParentAndCleanup(true);
sprite2->removeFromParentAndCleanup(true);
2.) When I want an Animation have active in my HelloWorldScene, so that i can use it when i want, how can I do it? I tried something like that:
void HelloWorld::runAnimationWalk() {
auto spritebatch = cocos2d::SpriteBatchNode::create("robo.png");
auto cache = cocos2d::SpriteFrameCache::getInstance();
cache->addSpriteFramesWithFile("robo.plist");
//spritebatch->addChild(worker);
Vector<SpriteFrame *> animFrames(5);
char str[100] = {0};
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
sprintf(str, "robot%i.png", i);
cocos2d::SpriteFrame* frame = cache->getSpriteFrameByName( str );
animFrames.pushBack(frame);
}
auto animWalk = cocos2d::Animation::createWithSpriteFrames(animFrames, 0.1f);
vector<Worker>::iterator it = workerVector.begin();
for(int k = 0; k<workerVector.size();k++) {
if(it->getType() == 1)
it->getWorker()->runAction(RepeatForever::create(Animate::create(animWalk)));
it++;
}
}
That works, but i have to call the function always after I want to change the animation. I tried to save the spritebatch, cache etc... global, but the animation dissaperars after a few time.

Answer 1

Answer 1) Yes. This is a full scenario:
//Create
Sprite *sprite1 = cocos2d::Sprite::create("test.png");
this->addChild(sprite1);
// Deleter Later
sprite1->removeFromParent();
Answer 2) You can create an animation ( Animation* ) and run it on any sprite.
some note:
If you want the animation play again and again, you can make a infinite version of your animation with RepeatForever::create(YourAnimation).
If you want to create the animation but use(display) it later. you can create your Animation* and retain() it until you run it on some target(sprite). (don't forget ro release it when running on target)
