gifted-whale-78169
09/12/2022, 2:09 PMBut it looks like it's in the same state as spritesheet animations, barely any documentation and zero examples - g

09/12/2022, 3:59 PMI know the wait can be longer than you wish, but these things take time to do (and are done when I have bandwidth for that). Patience is key here, those samples will be available for everyone eventually 🤞 - f

09/12/2022, 6:21 PMand what about the thing with the scene overlay or subscene or whatever it's called? i think i remember it being discussed here a while ago but i can't find it - b
billowy-waiter-28954
09/12/2022, 9:46 PMYou simply use app.scenes.set(someIdentifier, scene) - b
billowy-waiter-28954
09/12/2022, 9:47 PMAnd to have control on which scene is above witch one, you set the scenes depth property, like any other visual - b

09/13/2022, 12:01 AMso what are the pros and cons of using a scene vs. just another Visual? - b

09/13/2022, 8:33 PMScene brings a lifecycle with preload, create, update methods that you just have to override - b
billowy-waiter-28954
09/13/2022, 8:33 PMIt provides an
object out of the box as wellassets - b
billowy-waiter-28954
09/13/2022, 8:34 PMSo it depends if you need those features or not - f

but I can't find where it getsallall - b
billowy-waiter-28954
09/14/2022, 10:23 AMThere is no garante provided by Ceramic but update us called in the order scenes were created - b
billowy-waiter-28954
09/14/2022, 10:25 AMIf you want to have control over the update order, you can set autoUpdate to false in your sub-scenes and call you sub-scenes update() methods from your main scene update() - g
