    A PathFollower Game Object.

    A PathFollower is a Sprite Game Object with some extra helpers to allow it to follow a Path automatically.

    Anything you can do with a standard Sprite can be done with this PathFollower, such as animate it, tint it, scale it and so on.

    PathFollowers are bound to a single Path at any one time and can traverse the length of the Path, from start to finish, forwards or backwards, or from any given point on the Path to its end. They can optionally rotate to face the direction of the path, be offset from the path coordinates or rotate independently of the Path.

      Returns GameObjects.PathFollower

    Properties

    active: boolean

    The active state of this Game Object. A Game Object with an active state of true is processed by the Scenes UpdateList, if added to it. An active object is one which is having its logic and internal systems updated.

    alpha: number

    The alpha value of the Game Object.

    This is a global value, impacting the entire Game Object, not just a region of it.

    alphaBottomLeft: number

    The alpha value starting from the bottom-left of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object.

    alphaBottomRight: number

    The alpha value starting from the bottom-right of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object.

    alphaTopLeft: number

    The alpha value starting from the top-left of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object.

    alphaTopRight: number

    The alpha value starting from the top-right of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object.

    angle: number

    The angle of this Game Object as expressed in degrees.

    Phaser uses a right-hand clockwise rotation system, where 0 is right, 90 is down, 180/-180 is left and -90 is up.

    If you prefer to work in radians, see the rotation property instead.

    The Animation State component of this Sprite.

    This component provides features to apply animations to this Sprite. It is responsible for playing, loading, queuing animations for later playback, mixing between animations and setting the current animation frame to this Sprite.

    blendMode: string | number | BlendModes

    Sets the Blend Mode being used by this Game Object.

    This can be a const, such as Phaser.BlendModes.SCREEN, or an integer, such as 4 (for Overlay)

    Under WebGL only the following Blend Modes are available:

    • NORMAL
    • ADD
    • MULTIPLY
    • SCREEN
    • ERASE

    Canvas has more available depending on browser support.

    You can also create your own custom Blend Modes in WebGL.

    Blend modes have different effects under Canvas and WebGL, and from browser to browser, depending on support. Blend Modes also cause a WebGL batch flush should it encounter a new blend mode. For these reasons try to be careful about the construction of your Scene and the frequency of which blend modes are used.

    If this Game Object is enabled for Arcade or Matter Physics then this property will contain a reference to a Physics Body.

    cameraFilter: number

    A bitmask that controls if this Game Object is drawn by a Camera or not. Not usually set directly, instead call Camera.ignore, however you can set this property directly using the Camera.id property:

    customRenderNodes: object

    Customized WebGL render nodes of this Game Object. RenderNodes are responsible for managing the rendering process of this Game Object. A default set of RenderNodes are coded into the engine, but they will check here first to see if a custom one exists.

    A Data Manager. It allows you to store, query and get key/value paired information specific to this Game Object. null by default. Automatically created if you use getData or setData or setDataEnabled.

    defaultRenderNodes: object

    The default RenderNodes for this Game Object. RenderNodes are responsible for managing the rendering process of this Game Object. These are the nodes that are used if no custom ones are set.

    RenderNodes are identified by a unique key for their role.

    Common role keys include:

    • 'Submitter': responsible for running other node roles for each element.
    • 'Transformer': responsible for providing vertex coordinates for an element.
    • 'Texturer': responsible for handling textures for an element.
    depth: number

    The depth of this Game Object within the Scene. Ensure this value is only ever set to a number data-type.

    The depth is also known as the 'z-index' in some environments, and allows you to change the rendering order of Game Objects, without actually moving their position in the display list.

    The default depth is zero. A Game Object with a higher depth value will always render in front of one with a lower value.

    Setting the depth will queue a depth sort event within the Scene.

    displayHeight: number

    The displayed height of this Game Object.

    This value takes into account the scale factor.

    Setting this value will adjust the Game Object's scale property.

    displayList: DisplayList | Layer

    Holds a reference to the Display List that contains this Game Object.

    This is set automatically when this Game Object is added to a Scene or Layer.

    You should treat this property as being read-only.

    displayOriginX: number

    The horizontal display origin of this Game Object. The origin is a normalized value between 0 and 1. The displayOrigin is a pixel value, based on the size of the Game Object combined with the origin.

    displayOriginY: number

    The vertical display origin of this Game Object. The origin is a normalized value between 0 and 1. The displayOrigin is a pixel value, based on the size of the Game Object combined with the origin.

    displayWidth: number

    The displayed width of this Game Object.

    This value takes into account the scale factor.

    Setting this value will adjust the Game Object's scale property.

    filterCamera: Cameras.Scene2D.Camera

    The Camera used for filters. You can use this to alter the perspective of filters. It is not necessary to use this camera for ordinary rendering.

    This is only available if you use the enableFilters method.

    Get the filters lists. This is an object with internal and external properties. Each list is a {@see Phaser.GameObjects.Components.FilterList} object.

    This is only available if you use the enableFilters method.

    filtersAutoFocus: boolean

    Whether filterCamera should update every frame to focus on the Game Object. Disable this if you want to manually control the camera.

    filtersFocusContext: boolean

    Whether the filters should focus on the context, rather than attempt to focus on the Game Object. This is enabled automatically when enabling filters on objects which don't have well-defined bounds.

    This effectively sets the internal filters to render the same way as the external filters.

    This is only used if filtersAutoFocus is enabled.

    The "context" is the framebuffer to which the Game Object is rendered. This is usually the main framebuffer, but might be another framebuffer. It can even be several different framebuffers if the Game Object is rendered multiple times.

    filtersForceComposite: boolean

    Whether the Filters component should always draw to a framebuffer, even if there are no active filters.

    flipX: boolean

    The horizontally flipped state of the Game Object.

    A Game Object that is flipped horizontally will render inversed on the horizontal axis. Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.

    flipY: boolean

    The vertically flipped state of the Game Object.

    A Game Object that is flipped vertically will render inversed on the vertical axis (i.e. upside down) Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.

    frame: Frame

    The Texture Frame this Game Object is using to render with.

    hasTransformComponent: boolean

    A property indicating that a Game Object has this component.

    height: number

    The native (un-scaled) height of this Game Object.

    Changing this value will not change the size that the Game Object is rendered in-game. For that you need to either set the scale of the Game Object (setScale) or use the displayHeight property.

    ignoreDestroy: boolean

    This Game Object will ignore all calls made to its destroy method if this flag is set to true. This includes calls that may come from a Group, Container or the Scene itself. While it allows you to persist a Game Object across Scenes, please understand you are entirely responsible for managing references to and from this Game Object.

    If this Game Object is enabled for input then this property will contain an InteractiveObject instance. Not usually set directly. Instead call GameObject.setInteractive().

    isCropped: boolean

    A boolean flag indicating if this Game Object is being cropped or not. You can toggle this at any time after setCrop has been called, to turn cropping on or off. Equally, calling setCrop with no arguments will reset the crop and disable it.

    isTinted: boolean

    Does this Game Object have a tint applied?

    It checks to see if the 4 tint properties are set to the value 0xffffff and that the tintFill property is false. This indicates that a Game Object isn't tinted.

    lighting: boolean

    Should this GameObject use lighting?

    This flag is used to set up WebGL shaders for rendering.

    The Mask this Game Object is using during render.

    maxFilterSize: Math.Vector2

    The maximum size of the base filter texture. Filters may use a larger texture after the base texture is rendered. The maximum texture size is 4096 in WebGL. You may set this lower to save memory or prevent resizing.

    name: string

    The name of this Game Object. Empty by default and never populated by Phaser, this is left for developers to use.

    originX: number

    The horizontal origin of this Game Object. The origin maps the relationship between the size and position of the Game Object. The default value is 0.5, meaning all Game Objects are positioned based on their center. Setting the value to 0 means the position now relates to the left of the Game Object. Set this value with setOrigin().

    originY: number

    The vertical origin of this Game Object. The origin maps the relationship between the size and position of the Game Object. The default value is 0.5, meaning all Game Objects are positioned based on their center. Setting the value to 0 means the position now relates to the top of the Game Object. Set this value with setOrigin().

    parentContainer: GameObjects.Container

    The parent Container of this Game Object, if it has one.

    path: Path

    The Path this PathFollower is following. It can only follow one Path at a time.

    pathConfig: PathConfig

    Settings for the PathFollower.

    pathDelta: Math.Vector2

    The distance the follower has traveled from the previous point to the current one, at the last update.

    pathOffset: Math.Vector2

    An additional vector to add to the PathFollowers position, allowing you to offset it from the Path coordinates.

    pathRotationOffset: number

    If the PathFollower is rotating to match the Path (@see Phaser.GameObjects.PathFollower#rotateToPath) this value is added to the rotation value. This allows you to rotate objects to a path but control the angle of the rotation as well.

    pathTween: Tween

    The Tween used for following the Path.

    pathVector: Math.Vector2

    A Vector2 that stores the current point of the path the follower is on.

    renderFilters: boolean

    Whether any filters should be rendered on this Game Object. This is true by default, even if there are no filters yet. Disable this to skip filter rendering.

    Use willRenderFilters() to see if there are any active filters.

    renderFlags: number

    The flags that are compared against RENDER_MASK to determine if this Game Object will render or not. The bits are 0001 | 0010 | 0100 | 1000 set by the components Visible, Alpha, Transform and Texture respectively. If those components are not used by your custom class then you can use this bitmask as you wish.

    renderNodeData: object

    An object to store render node specific data in, to be read by the render nodes this Game Object uses.

    Render nodes store their data under their own name, not their role.

    rotateToPath: boolean

    Should the PathFollower automatically rotate to point in the direction of the Path?

    rotation: number

    The angle of this Game Object in radians.

    Phaser uses a right-hand clockwise rotation system, where 0 is right, PI/2 is down, +-PI is left and -PI/2 is up.

    If you prefer to work in degrees, see the angle property instead.

    scale: number

    This is a special setter that allows you to set both the horizontal and vertical scale of this Game Object to the same value, at the same time. When reading this value the result returned is (scaleX + scaleY) / 2.

    Use of this property implies you wish the horizontal and vertical scales to be equal to each other. If this isn't the case, use the scaleX or scaleY properties instead.

    scaleX: number

    The horizontal scale of this Game Object.

    scaleY: number

    The vertical scale of this Game Object.

    scene: Scene

    A reference to the Scene to which this Game Object belongs.

    Game Objects can only belong to one Scene.

    You should consider this property as being read-only. You cannot move a Game Object to another Scene by simply changing it.

    scrollFactorX: number

    The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object.

    The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.

    When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.

    A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.

    Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.

    scrollFactorY: number

    The vertical scroll factor of this Game Object.

    The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.

    When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.

    A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.

    Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.

    selfShadow: Object

    Should this GameObject use self-shadowing? Self-shadowing is only enabled if lighting is enabled.

    The game config option render.selfShadow is used if this is not a boolean.

    This flag is used to set up WebGL shaders for rendering.

    state: string | number

    The current state of this Game Object.

    Phaser itself will never modify this value, although plugins may do so.

    Use this property to track the state of a Game Object during its lifetime. For example, it could change from a state of 'moving', to 'attacking', to 'dead'. The state value should be an integer (ideally mapped to a constant in your game code), or a string. These are recommended to keep it light and simple, with fast comparisons. If you need to store complex data about your Game Object, look at using the Data Component instead.

    tabIndex: number

    The Tab Index of the Game Object. Reserved for future use by plugins and the Input Manager.

    The Texture this Game Object is using to render with.

    tint: number

    The tint value being applied to the whole of the Game Object. Return tintTopLeft when read this tint property.

    tintBottomLeft: number

    The tint value being applied to the bottom-left vertice of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object. The value should be set as a hex number, i.e. 0xff0000 for red, or 0xff00ff for purple.

    tintBottomRight: number

    The tint value being applied to the bottom-right vertice of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object. The value should be set as a hex number, i.e. 0xff0000 for red, or 0xff00ff for purple.

    tintFill: boolean

    The tint fill mode.

    false = An additive tint (the default), where vertices colors are blended with the texture. true = A fill tint, where the vertices colors replace the texture, but respects texture alpha.

    tintTopLeft: number

    The tint value being applied to the top-left vertice of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object. The value should be set as a hex number, i.e. 0xff0000 for red, or 0xff00ff for purple.

    tintTopRight: number

    The tint value being applied to the top-right vertice of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object. The value should be set as a hex number, i.e. 0xff0000 for red, or 0xff00ff for purple.

    type: string

    A textual representation of this Game Object, i.e. sprite. Used internally by Phaser but is available for your own custom classes to populate.

    vertexRoundMode: string

    The current vertex rounding mode of this Game Object. This is used by the WebGL Renderer to determine how to round the vertex positions. It can have several values:

    • off - No rounding is applied.
    • safe - Rounding is applied if the object is 'safe'.
    • safeAuto - Rounding is applied if the object is 'safe' and the camera has roundPixels enabled.
    • full - Rounding is always applied.
    • fullAuto - Rounding is always applied if the camera has roundPixels enabled.

    A 'safe' object is one that is not rotated or scaled by any transform matrix while rendering. The effective transform is a simple translation. In such cases, rounding will affect all vertices the same way.

    Using full rounding can cause vertices to wobble, because they might not be aligned to the pixel grid. Full rounding gives a janky look like PS1 games.

    You can use other values if you want to create your own custom rounding modes.

    visible: boolean

    The visible state of the Game Object.

    An invisible Game Object will skip rendering, but will still process update logic.

    w: number

    The w position of this Game Object.

    width: number

    The native (un-scaled) width of this Game Object.

    Changing this value will not change the size that the Game Object is rendered in-game. For that you need to either set the scale of the Game Object (setScale) or use the displayWidth property.

    x: number

    The x position of this Game Object.

    y: number

    The y position of this Game Object.

    z: number

    The z position of this Game Object.

    Note: The z position does not control the rendering order of 2D Game Objects. Use Phaser.GameObjects.Components.Depth#depth instead.

    RENDER_MASK: number

    The bitmask that GameObject.renderFlags is compared against to determine if the Game Object will render or not.

    Methods

    • This callback is invoked when this Game Object is added to a Scene.

      Can be overriden by custom Game Objects, but be aware of some Game Objects that will use this, such as Sprites, to add themselves into the Update List.

      You can also listen for the ADDED_TO_SCENE event from this Game Object.

      Returns void

    • Add a listener for a given event.

      Parameters

      • event: string | symbol

        The event name.

      • fn: Function

        The listener function.

      • Optionalcontext: any

        The context to invoke the listener with. Default this.

      Returns this

    • Add a render step.

      The first render step in _renderSteps is run first. It should call the next render step in the list. This allows render steps to control the rendering flow.

      Parameters

      • fn: RenderWebGLStep

        The render step function to add.

      • Optionalindex: number

        The index in the render list to add the step to. Omit to add to the end.

      Returns this

    • Adds this Game Object to the given Display List.

      If no Display List is specified, it will default to the Display List owned by the Scene to which this Game Object belongs.

      A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may move freely between them.

      If this Game Object is already on another Display List when this method is called, it will first be removed from it, before being added to the new list.

      You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.

      If a Game Object isn't on any display list, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarly disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.

      Parameters

      • OptionaldisplayList: DisplayList | Layer

        The Display List to add to. Defaults to the Scene Display List.

      Returns this

    • Adds this Game Object to the Update List belonging to the Scene.

      When a Game Object is added to the Update List it will have its preUpdate method called every game frame. This method is passed two parameters: delta and time.

      If you wish to run your own logic within preUpdate then you should always call super.preUpdate(time, delta) within it, or it may fail to process required operations, such as Sprite animations.

      Returns this

    • Sets an animation, or an array of animations, to be played immediately after the current one completes or stops.

      The current animation must enter a 'completed' state for this to happen, i.e. finish all of its repeats, delays, etc, or have the stop method called directly on it.

      An animation set to repeat forever will never enter a completed state.

      You can chain a new animation at any point, including before the current one starts playing, during it, or when it ends (via its animationcomplete event).

      Chained animations are specific to a Game Object, meaning different Game Objects can have different chained animations without impacting the animation they're playing.

      Call this method with no arguments to reset all currently chained animations.

      When playing an animation on a Sprite it will first check to see if it can find a matching key locally within the Sprite. If it can, it will play the local animation. If not, it will then search the global Animation Manager and look for it there.

      Parameters

      Returns this

    • Clears all alpha values associated with this Game Object.

      Immediately sets the alpha levels back to 1 (fully opaque).

      Returns this

    • Clears all tint values associated with this Game Object.

      Immediately sets the color values back to 0xffffff and the tint type to 'additive', which results in no visible change to the texture.

      Returns this

    • Destroys this Game Object removing it from the Display List and Update List and severing all ties to parent resources.

      Also removes itself from the Input Manager and Physics Manager if previously enabled.

      Use this to remove a Game Object from your game if you don't ever plan to use it again. As long as no reference to it exists within your own code it should become free for garbage collection by the browser.

      If you just want to temporarily disable an object then look at using the Game Object Pool instead of destroying it, as destroyed objects cannot be resurrected.

      Parameters

      • OptionalfromScene: boolean

        True if this Game Object is being destroyed by the Scene, false if not. Default false.

      Returns void

    • If this Game Object has previously been enabled for input, this will disable it.

      An object that is disabled for input stops processing or being considered for input events, but can be turned back on again at any time by simply calling setInteractive() with no arguments provided.

      If want to completely remove interaction from this Game Object then use removeInteractive instead.

      Parameters

      • OptionalresetCursor: boolean

        Should the currently active Input cursor, if any, be reset to the default cursor? Default false.

      Returns this

    • Calls each of the listeners registered for a given event.

      Parameters

      • event: string | symbol

        The event name.

      • ...args: any[]

        Additional arguments that will be passed to the event handler.

      Returns boolean

    • Enable this Game Object to have filters.

      You need to call this method if you want to use the filterCamera and filters properties. It sets up the necessary data structures. You may disable filter rendering with the renderFilters property.

      This is a WebGL only feature. It will return early if not available.

      Returns this

    • Return an array listing the events for which the emitter has registered listeners.

      Returns (string | symbol)[]

    • Focus the filter camera. This sets the size and position of the filter camera to match the GameObject. This is called automatically on render if filtersAutoFocus is enabled.

      This will focus on the GameObject's raw dimensions if available. If the GameObject has no dimensions, this will focus on the context: the camera belonging to the DrawingContext used to render the GameObject. Context focus occurs during rendering, as the context is not known until then.

      Returns this

    • Manually override the focus of the filter camera. This allows you to set the size and position of the filter camera manually. It deactivates filtersAutoFocus when called.

      The camera will set scroll to place the game object at the given position within a rectangle of the given width and height. For example, calling focusFiltersOverride(400, 200, 800, 600) will focus the camera to place the object's center 100 pixels above the center of the camera (which is at 400x300).

      Parameters

      • Optionalx: number

        The x-coordinate of the focus point, relative to the filter size. Default is the center.

      • Optionaly: number

        The y-coordinate of the focus point, relative to the filter size. Default is the center.

      • Optionalwidth: number

        The width of the focus area. Default is the filter width.

      • Optionalheight: number

        The height of the focus area. Default is the filter height.

      Returns this

    • Gets the bottom-center coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.

      The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers, unless the includeParent argument is set to true.

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • Optionaloutput: O

        An object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.

      • OptionalincludeParent: boolean

        If this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.

      Returns O

    • Gets the bottom-left corner coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.

      The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers, unless the includeParent argument is set to true.

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • Optionaloutput: O

        An object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.

      • OptionalincludeParent: boolean

        If this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.

      Returns O

    • Gets the bottom-right corner coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.

      The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers, unless the includeParent argument is set to true.

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • Optionaloutput: O

        An object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.

      • OptionalincludeParent: boolean

        If this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.

      Returns O

    • Gets the bounds of this Game Object, regardless of origin.

      The values are stored and returned in a Rectangle, or Rectangle-like, object.

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • Optionaloutput: O

        An object to store the values in. If not provided a new Rectangle will be created.

      Returns O

    • Gets the center coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.

      The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers, unless the includeParent argument is set to true.

      Type Parameters

      Parameters

      • Optionaloutput: O

        An object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.

      • OptionalincludeParent: boolean

        If this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.

      Returns O

    • Retrieves the value for the given key in this Game Objects Data Manager, or undefined if it doesn't exist.

      You can also access values via the values object. For example, if you had a key called gold you can do either:

      sprite.getData('gold');
      

      Or access the value directly:

      sprite.data.values.gold;
      

      You can also pass in an array of keys, in which case an array of values will be returned:

      sprite.getData([ 'gold', 'armor', 'health' ]);
      

      This approach is useful for destructuring arrays in ES6.

      Parameters

      • key: string | string[]

        The key of the value to retrieve, or an array of keys.

      Returns any

    • Returns a reference to the underlying display list array that contains this Game Object, which will be either the Scene's Display List or the internal list belonging to its parent Container, if it has one.

      If this Game Object is not on a display list or in a container, it will return null.

      You should be very careful with this method, and understand that it returns a direct reference to the internal array used by the Display List. Mutating this array directly can cause all kinds of subtle and difficult to debug issues in your game.

      Returns GameObject[]

    • Returns an array containing the display list index of either this Game Object, or if it has one, its parent Container. It then iterates up through all of the parent containers until it hits the root of the display list (which is index 0 in the returned array).

      Used internally by the InputPlugin but also useful if you wish to find out the display depth of this Game Object and all of its ancestors.

      Returns number[]

    • Gets the left-center coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.

      The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers, unless the includeParent argument is set to true.

      Type Parameters

      Returns Math.Vector2

    • Gets the sum total rotation of all of this Game Objects parent Containers.

      The returned value is in radians and will be zero if this Game Object has no parent container.

      Returns number

    • Gets the right-center coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.

      The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers, unless the includeParent argument is set to true.

    • Increase a value for the given key within this Game Objects Data Manager. If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is increased from 0.

      If the Game Object has not been enabled for data (via setDataEnabled) then it will be enabled before setting the value.

      If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is created.

      When the value is first set, a setdata event is emitted from this Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Internal update handler that advances this PathFollower along the path.

      Called automatically by the Scene step, should not typically be called directly.

      Returns void

    • Pauses this PathFollower. It will still continue to render, but it will remain motionless at the point on the Path at which you paused it.

      Returns this

    • Start playing the given animation on this Sprite.

      Animations in Phaser can either belong to the global Animation Manager, or specifically to this Sprite.

      The benefit of a global animation is that multiple Sprites can all play the same animation, without having to duplicate the data. You can just create it once and then play it on any Sprite.

      The following code shows how to create a global repeating animation. The animation will be created from all of the frames within the sprite sheet that was loaded with the key 'muybridge':

      var config = {
      key: 'run',
      frames: 'muybridge',
      frameRate: 15,
      repeat: -1
      };

      // This code should be run from within a Scene:
      this.anims.create(config);

      However, if you wish to create an animation that is unique to this Sprite, and this Sprite alone, you can call the Animation.create method instead. It accepts the exact same parameters as when creating a global animation, however the resulting data is kept locally in this Sprite.

      With the animation created, either globally or locally, you can now play it on this Sprite:

      this.add.sprite(x, y).play('run');
      

      Alternatively, if you wish to run it at a different frame rate, for example, you can pass a config object instead:

      this.add.sprite(x, y).play({ key: 'run', frameRate: 24 });
      

      When playing an animation on a Sprite it will first check to see if it can find a matching key locally within the Sprite. If it can, it will play the local animation. If not, it will then search the global Animation Manager and look for it there.

      If you need a Sprite to be able to play both local and global animations, make sure they don't have conflicting keys.

      See the documentation for the PlayAnimationConfig config object for more details about this.

      Also, see the documentation in the Animation Manager for further details on creating animations.

      Parameters

      • key: string | Animations.Animation | PlayAnimationConfig

        The string-based key of the animation to play, or an Animation instance, or a PlayAnimationConfig object.

      • OptionalignoreIfPlaying: boolean

        If an animation is already playing then ignore this call. Default false.

      Returns this

    • Waits for the specified delay, in milliseconds, then starts playback of the given animation.

      If the animation also has a delay value set in its config, it will be added to the delay given here.

      If an animation is already running and a new animation is given to this method, it will wait for the given delay before starting the new animation.

      If no animation is currently running, the given one begins after the delay.

      When playing an animation on a Sprite it will first check to see if it can find a matching key locally within the Sprite. If it can, it will play the local animation. If not, it will then search the global Animation Manager and look for it there.

      Prior to Phaser 3.50 this method was called 'delayedPlay'.

      Parameters

      • key: string | Animations.Animation | PlayAnimationConfig

        The string-based key of the animation to play, or an Animation instance, or a PlayAnimationConfig object.

      • delay: number

        The delay, in milliseconds, to wait before starting the animation playing.

      Returns this

    • Waits for the current animation to complete the repeatCount number of repeat cycles, then starts playback of the given animation.

      You can use this to ensure there are no harsh jumps between two sets of animations, i.e. going from an idle animation to a walking animation, by making them blend smoothly into each other.

      If no animation is currently running, the given one will start immediately.

      When playing an animation on a Sprite it will first check to see if it can find a matching key locally within the Sprite. If it can, it will play the local animation. If not, it will then search the global Animation Manager and look for it there.

      Parameters

      • key: string | Animations.Animation | PlayAnimationConfig

        The string-based key of the animation to play, or an Animation instance, or a PlayAnimationConfig object.

      • OptionalrepeatCount: number

        How many times should the animation repeat before the next one starts? Default 1.

      Returns this

    • Start playing the given animation on this Sprite, in reverse.

      Animations in Phaser can either belong to the global Animation Manager, or specifically to this Sprite.

      The benefit of a global animation is that multiple Sprites can all play the same animation, without having to duplicate the data. You can just create it once and then play it on any Sprite.

      The following code shows how to create a global repeating animation. The animation will be created from all of the frames within the sprite sheet that was loaded with the key 'muybridge':

      var config = {
      key: 'run',
      frames: 'muybridge',
      frameRate: 15,
      repeat: -1
      };

      // This code should be run from within a Scene:
      this.anims.create(config);

      However, if you wish to create an animation that is unique to this Sprite, and this Sprite alone, you can call the Animation.create method instead. It accepts the exact same parameters as when creating a global animation, however the resulting data is kept locally in this Sprite.

      With the animation created, either globally or locally, you can now play it on this Sprite:

      this.add.sprite(x, y).playReverse('run');
      

      Alternatively, if you wish to run it at a different frame rate, for example, you can pass a config object instead:

      this.add.sprite(x, y).playReverse({ key: 'run', frameRate: 24 });
      

      When playing an animation on a Sprite it will first check to see if it can find a matching key locally within the Sprite. If it can, it will play the local animation. If not, it will then search the global Animation Manager and look for it there.

      Also, see the documentation in the Animation Manager for further details on creating animations.

      Parameters

      • key: string | Animations.Animation | PlayAnimationConfig

        The string-based key of the animation to play, or an Animation instance, or a PlayAnimationConfig object.

      • OptionalignoreIfPlaying: boolean

        If an animation is already playing then ignore this call. Default false.

      Returns this

    • Internal update handler that advances this PathFollower along the path.

      Called automatically by the Scene step, should not typically be called directly.

      Parameters

      • time: number

        The current timestamp as generated by the Request Animation Frame or SetTimeout.

      • delta: number

        The delta time, in ms, elapsed since the last frame.

      Returns void

    • Remove all listeners, or those of the specified event.

      Parameters

      • Optionalevent: string | symbol

        The event name.

      Returns this

    • This callback is invoked when this Game Object is removed from a Scene.

      Can be overriden by custom Game Objects, but be aware of some Game Objects that will use this, such as Sprites, to removed themselves from the Update List.

      You can also listen for the REMOVED_FROM_SCENE event from this Game Object.

      Returns void

    • Removes this Game Object from the Display List it is currently on.

      A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may move freely removed and added back at a later stage.

      You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.

      If a Game Object isn't on any Display List, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarly disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.

      Returns this

    • Removes this Game Object from the Scene's Update List.

      When a Game Object is on the Update List, it will have its preUpdate method called every game frame. Calling this method will remove it from the list, preventing this.

      Removing a Game Object from the Update List will stop most internal functions working. For example, removing a Sprite from the Update List will prevent it from being able to run animations.

      Returns this

    • If this Game Object has previously been enabled for input, this will queue it for removal, causing it to no longer be interactive. The removal happens on the next game step, it is not immediate.

      The Interactive Object that was assigned to this Game Object will be destroyed, removed from the Input Manager and cleared from this Game Object.

      If you wish to re-enable this Game Object at a later date you will need to re-create its InteractiveObject by calling setInteractive again.

      If you wish to only temporarily stop an object from receiving input then use disableInteractive instead, as that toggles the interactive state, where-as this erases it completely.

      If you wish to resize a hit area, don't remove and then set it as being interactive. Instead, access the hitarea object directly and resize the shape being used. I.e.: sprite.input.hitArea.setSize(width, height) (assuming the shape is a Rectangle, which it is by default.)

      Parameters

      • OptionalresetCursor: boolean

        Should the currently active Input cursor, if any, be reset to the default cursor? Default false.

      Returns this

    • Remove the listeners of a given event.

      Parameters

      • event: string | symbol

        The event name.

      • Optionalfn: Function

        Only remove the listeners that match this function.

      • Optionalcontext: any

        Only remove the listeners that have this context.

      • Optionalonce: boolean

        Only remove one-time listeners.

      Returns this

    • Run a step in the render process. This is called automatically by the Render module.

      In most cases, it just runs the renderWebGL function.

      When _renderSteps has more than one entry, such as when Filters are enabled for this object, it allows those processes to defer renderWebGL and otherwise manage the flow of rendering.

      Parameters

      • renderer: WebGLRenderer

        The WebGL Renderer instance to render with.

      • gameObject: GameObject

        The Game Object being rendered.

      • drawingContext: DrawingContext

        The current drawing context.

      • OptionalparentMatrix: TransformMatrix

        The parent matrix of the Game Object, if it has one.

      • OptionalrenderStep: number

        Which step of the rendering process should be run? Default 0.

      • OptionaldisplayList: GameObject[]

        The display list which is currently being rendered. If not provided, it will be created with the Game Object.

      • OptionaldisplayListIndex: number

        The index of the Game Object within the display list. Default 0.

      Returns void

    • Resets the horizontal and vertical flipped state of this Game Object back to their default un-flipped state.

      Returns this

    • Move this Game Object so that it appears above the given Game Object.

      This means it will render immediately after the other object in the display list.

      Both objects must belong to the same display list, or parent container.

      This method does not change this Game Objects depth value, it simply alters its list position.

      Parameters

      • gameObject: GameObject

        The Game Object that this Game Object will be moved to be above.

      Returns this

    • Sets the active property of this Game Object and returns this Game Object for further chaining. A Game Object with its active property set to true will be updated by the Scenes UpdateList.

      Parameters

      • value: boolean

        True if this Game Object should be set as active, false if not.

      Returns this

    • Set the Alpha level of this Game Object. The alpha controls the opacity of the Game Object as it renders. Alpha values are provided as a float between 0, fully transparent, and 1, fully opaque.

      If your game is running under WebGL you can optionally specify four different alpha values, each of which correspond to the four corners of the Game Object. Under Canvas only the topLeft value given is used.

      Parameters

      • OptionaltopLeft: number

        The alpha value used for the top-left of the Game Object. If this is the only value given it's applied across the whole Game Object. Default 1.

      • OptionaltopRight: number

        The alpha value used for the top-right of the Game Object. WebGL only.

      • OptionalbottomLeft: number

        The alpha value used for the bottom-left of the Game Object. WebGL only.

      • OptionalbottomRight: number

        The alpha value used for the bottom-right of the Game Object. WebGL only.

      Returns this

    • Sets the angle of this Game Object.

      Parameters

      • Optionaldegrees: number

        The rotation of this Game Object, in degrees. Default 0.

      Returns this

    • Move this Game Object so that it appears below the given Game Object.

      This means it will render immediately under the other object in the display list.

      Both objects must belong to the same display list, or parent container.

      This method does not change this Game Objects depth value, it simply alters its list position.

      Parameters

      • gameObject: GameObject

        The Game Object that this Game Object will be moved to be below.

      Returns this

    • Sets the Blend Mode being used by this Game Object.

      This can be a const, such as Phaser.BlendModes.SCREEN, or an integer, such as 4 (for Overlay)

      Under WebGL only the following Blend Modes are available:

      • NORMAL
      • ADD
      • MULTIPLY
      • SCREEN
      • ERASE (only works when rendering to a framebuffer, like a Render Texture)

      Canvas has more available depending on browser support.

      You can also create your own custom Blend Modes in WebGL.

      Blend modes have different effects under Canvas and WebGL, and from browser to browser, depending on support. Blend Modes also cause a WebGL batch flush should it encounter a new blend mode. For these reasons try to be careful about the construction of your Scene and the frequency in which blend modes are used.

      Parameters

      • value: string | number | BlendModes

        The BlendMode value. Either a string, a CONST or a number.

      Returns this

    • Applies a crop to a texture based Game Object, such as a Sprite or Image.

      The crop is a rectangle that limits the area of the texture frame that is visible during rendering.

      Cropping a Game Object does not change its size, dimensions, physics body or hit area, it just changes what is shown when rendered.

      The crop size as well as coordinates can not exceed the the size of the texture frame.

      The crop coordinates are relative to the texture frame, not the Game Object, meaning 0 x 0 is the top-left.

      Therefore, if you had a Game Object that had an 800x600 sized texture, and you wanted to show only the left half of it, you could call setCrop(0, 0, 400, 600).

      It is also scaled to match the Game Object scale automatically. Therefore a crop rectangle of 100x50 would crop an area of 200x100 when applied to a Game Object that had a scale factor of 2.

      You can either pass in numeric values directly, or you can provide a single Rectangle object as the first argument.

      Call this method with no arguments at all to reset the crop, or toggle the property isCropped to false.

      You should do this if the crop rectangle becomes the same size as the frame itself, as it will allow the renderer to skip several internal calculations.

      Parameters

      • Optionalx: number | Geom.Rectangle

        The x coordinate to start the crop from. Cannot be negative or exceed the Frame width. Or a Phaser.Geom.Rectangle object, in which case the rest of the arguments are ignored.

      • Optionaly: number

        The y coordinate to start the crop from. Cannot be negative or exceed the Frame height.

      • Optionalwidth: number

        The width of the crop rectangle in pixels. Cannot exceed the Frame width.

      • Optionalheight: number

        The height of the crop rectangle in pixels. Cannot exceed the Frame height.

      Returns this

    • Allows you to store a key value pair within this Game Objects Data Manager.

      If the Game Object has not been enabled for data (via setDataEnabled) then it will be enabled before setting the value.

      If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is created.

      sprite.setData('name', 'Red Gem Stone');
      

      You can also pass in an object of key value pairs as the first argument:

      sprite.setData({ name: 'Red Gem Stone', level: 2, owner: 'Link', gold: 50 });
      

      To get a value back again you can call getData:

      sprite.getData('gold');
      

      Or you can access the value directly via the values property, where it works like any other variable:

      sprite.data.values.gold += 50;
      

      When the value is first set, a setdata event is emitted from this Game Object.

      If the key already exists, a changedata event is emitted instead, along an event named after the key. For example, if you updated an existing key called PlayerLives then it would emit the event changedata-PlayerLives. These events will be emitted regardless if you use this method to set the value, or the direct values setter.

      Please note that the data keys are case-sensitive and must be valid JavaScript Object property strings. This means the keys gold and Gold are treated as two unique values within the Data Manager.

      Type Parameters

      • T extends unknown

      Parameters

      • key: string | T

        The key to set the value for. Or an object of key value pairs. If an object the data argument is ignored.

      • Optionaldata: any

        The value to set for the given key. If an object is provided as the key this argument is ignored.

      Returns this

    • The depth of this Game Object within the Scene.

      The depth is also known as the 'z-index' in some environments, and allows you to change the rendering order of Game Objects, without actually moving their position in the display list.

      The default depth is zero. A Game Object with a higher depth value will always render in front of one with a lower value.

      Setting the depth will queue a depth sort event within the Scene.

      Parameters

      • value: number

        The depth of this Game Object. Ensure this value is only ever a number data-type.

      Returns this

    • Sets the display origin of this Game Object. The difference between this and setting the origin is that you can use pixel values for setting the display origin.

      Parameters

      • Optionalx: number

        The horizontal display origin value. Default 0.

      • Optionaly: number

        The vertical display origin value. If not defined it will be set to the value of x. Default x.

      Returns this

    • Sets the display size of this Game Object.

      Calling this will adjust the scale.

      Parameters

      • width: number

        The width of this Game Object.

      • height: number

        The height of this Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Set whether filters should be updated every frame. Sets the filtersAutoFocus property.

      Parameters

      • value: boolean

        Whether filters should be updated every frame.

      Returns this

    • Set whether the filters should focus on the context. Sets the filtersFocusContext property.

      Parameters

      • value: boolean

        Whether the filters should focus on the context.

      Returns this

    • Set whether the filters should always draw to a framebuffer. Sets the filtersForceComposite property.

      Parameters

      • value: boolean

        Whether the object should always draw to a framebuffer, even if there are no active filters.

      Returns this

    • Set the base size of the filter camera. This is the size of the texture that internal filters will be drawn to. External filters are drawn to the size of the context (usually the game canvas).

      This is typically the size of the GameObject. It is set automatically when the Game Object is rendered and filtersAutoFocus is enabled. Turn off auto focus to set it manually.

      Technically, larger framebuffers may be used to provide padding. This is the size of the final framebuffer used for "internal" rendering.

      Parameters

      • width: number

        Base width of the filter texture.

      • height: number

        Base height of the filter texture.

      Returns this

    • Sets the horizontal and vertical flipped state of this Game Object.

      A Game Object that is flipped will render inversed on the flipped axis. Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.

      Parameters

      • x: boolean

        The horizontal flipped state. false for no flip, or true to be flipped.

      • y: boolean

        The horizontal flipped state. false for no flip, or true to be flipped.

      Returns this

    • Sets the horizontal flipped state of this Game Object.

      A Game Object that is flipped horizontally will render inversed on the horizontal axis. Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.

      Parameters

      • value: boolean

        The flipped state. false for no flip, or true to be flipped.

      Returns this

    • Sets the vertical flipped state of this Game Object.

      Parameters

      • value: boolean

        The flipped state. false for no flip, or true to be flipped.

      Returns this

    • Sets the frame this Game Object will use to render with.

      If you pass a string or index then the Frame has to belong to the current Texture being used by this Game Object.

      If you pass a Frame instance, then the Texture being used by this Game Object will also be updated.

      Calling setFrame will modify the width and height properties of your Game Object.

      It will also change the origin if the Frame has a custom pivot point, as exported from packages like Texture Packer.

      Parameters

      • frame: string | number | Frame

        The name or index of the frame within the Texture, or a Frame instance.

      • OptionalupdateSize: boolean

        Should this call adjust the size of the Game Object? Default true.

      • OptionalupdateOrigin: boolean

        Should this call adjust the origin of the Game Object? Default true.

      Returns this

    • Pass this Game Object to the Input Manager to enable it for Input.

      Input works by using hit areas, these are nearly always geometric shapes, such as rectangles or circles, that act as the hit area for the Game Object. However, you can provide your own hit area shape and callback, should you wish to handle some more advanced input detection.

      If no arguments are provided it will try and create a rectangle hit area based on the texture frame the Game Object is using. If this isn't a texture-bound object, such as a Graphics or BitmapText object, this will fail, and you'll need to provide a specific shape for it to use.

      You can also provide an Input Configuration Object as the only argument to this method.

      Parameters

      • OptionalhitArea: any

        Either an input configuration object, or a geometric shape that defines the hit area for the Game Object. If not given it will try to create a Rectangle based on the texture frame.

      • Optionalcallback: HitAreaCallback

        The callback that determines if the pointer is within the Hit Area shape or not. If you provide a shape you must also provide a callback.

      • OptionaldropZone: boolean

        Should this Game Object be treated as a drop zone target? Default false.

      Returns this

    • Sets whether this GameObject should use lighting.

      Parameters

      • enable: boolean

        true to use lighting, or false to disable it.

      Returns this

    • Sets the mask that this Game Object will use to render with.

      The mask must have been previously created and must be a GeometryMask. This only works in the Canvas Renderer. In WebGL, use a Mask filter instead (see Phaser.GameObjects.Components.FilterList#addMask).

      If a mask is already set on this Game Object it will be immediately replaced.

      Masks are positioned in global space and are not relative to the Game Object to which they are applied. The reason for this is that multiple Game Objects can all share the same mask.

      Masks have no impact on physics or input detection. They are purely a rendering component that allows you to limit what is visible during the render pass.

      Parameters

      • mask: GeometryMask

        The mask this Game Object will use when rendering.

      Returns this

    • Sets the name property of this Game Object and returns this Game Object for further chaining. The name property is not populated by Phaser and is presented for your own use.

      Parameters

      • value: string

        The name to be given to this Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Sets the origin of this Game Object.

      The values are given in the range 0 to 1.

      Parameters

      • Optionalx: number

        The horizontal origin value. Default 0.5.

      • Optionaly: number

        The vertical origin value. If not defined it will be set to the value of x. Default x.

      Returns this

    • Sets the position of this Game Object.

      Parameters

      • Optionalx: number

        The x position of this Game Object. Default 0.

      • Optionaly: number

        The y position of this Game Object. If not set it will use the x value. Default x.

      • Optionalz: number

        The z position of this Game Object. Default 0.

      • Optionalw: number

        The w position of this Game Object. Default 0.

      Returns this

    • Sets the position of this Game Object to be a random position within the confines of the given area.

      If no area is specified a random position between 0 x 0 and the game width x height is used instead.

      The position does not factor in the size of this Game Object, meaning that only the origin is guaranteed to be within the area.

      Parameters

      • Optionalx: number

        The x position of the top-left of the random area. Default 0.

      • Optionaly: number

        The y position of the top-left of the random area. Default 0.

      • Optionalwidth: number

        The width of the random area.

      • Optionalheight: number

        The height of the random area.

      Returns this

      Returns this

    • Adds an entry to the renderNodeData object of this game object.

      If key is not set, it is created. If it is set, it is updated.

      If value is undefined and key exists, the key is removed.

      Parameters

      Also sets the relevant render node data object, if specified.

      If the node cannot be set, no changes are made.

      Parameters

      • key: string

        The key of the role to set the render node for.

      • renderNode: string | RenderNode

        The render node to set on this Game Object. Either a string, or a RenderNode instance. If null, the render node is removed, along with its data.

      • OptionalrenderNodeData: object

        An object to store render node specific data in, to be read by the render nodes this Game Object uses.

      • OptionalcopyData: boolean

      • Optionaloffset: number

        Rotation offset in degrees. Default 0.

      Returns this

    • Sets the rotation of this Game Object.

      Parameters

      • Optionalradians: number

        The rotation of this Game Object, in radians. Default 0.

      Returns this

    • Sets the scale of this Game Object.

      Parameters

      • Optionalx: number

        The horizontal scale of this Game Object. Default 1.

      • Optionaly: number

        The vertical scale of this Game Object. If not set it will use the x value. Default x.

      Returns this

    • Sets the scroll factor of this Game Object.

      The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.

      When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.

      A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.

      Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.

      Parameters

      • x: number

        The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object.

      • Optionaly: number

        The vertical scroll factor of this Game Object. If not set it will use the x value. Default x.

      Returns this

      Parameters

      • Optionalenabled: boolean

        true to use self-shadowing, false to disable it, null to use the game default from config.render.selfShadow, or undefined to keep the setting.

      • Optionalpenumbra: number

        The penumbra value for the shadow. Lower is sharper but more jagged. Default is 0.5.

      • OptionaldiffuseFlatThreshold: number

        The texture brightness threshold at which the diffuse lighting will be considered flat. Range is 0-1. Default is 1/3.

      Returns this

    • Sets the internal size of this Game Object, as used for frame or physics body creation.

      This will not change the size that the Game Object is rendered in-game. For that you need to either set the scale of the Game Object (setScale) or call the setDisplaySize method, which is the same thing as changing the scale but allows you to do so by giving pixel values.

      If you have enabled this Game Object for input, changing the size will not change the size of the hit area. To do this you should adjust the input.hitArea object directly.

      Parameters

      • width: number

        The width of this Game Object.

      • height: number

        The height of this Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Sets the size of this Game Object to be that of the given Frame.

      This will not change the size that the Game Object is rendered in-game. For that you need to either set the scale of the Game Object (setScale) or call the setDisplaySize method, which is the same thing as changing the scale but allows you to do so by giving pixel values.

      If you have enabled this Game Object for input, changing the size will not change the size of the hit area. To do this you should adjust the input.hitArea object directly.

      Parameters

      • Optionalframe: boolean | Frame

        The frame to base the size of this Game Object on.

      Returns this

    • Sets the current state of this Game Object.

      Phaser itself will never modify the State of a Game Object, although plugins may do so.

      For example, a Game Object could change from a state of 'moving', to 'attacking', to 'dead'. The state value should typically be an integer (ideally mapped to a constant in your game code), but could also be a string. It is recommended to keep it light and simple. If you need to store complex data about your Game Object, look at using the Data Component instead.

      Parameters

      • value: string | number

        The state of the Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Sets the texture and frame this Game Object will use to render with.

      Textures are referenced by their string-based keys, as stored in the Texture Manager.

      Parameters

      • key: string

        The key of the texture to be used, as stored in the Texture Manager.

      • Optionalframe: string | number

        The name or index of the frame within the Texture.

      Returns this

    • Sets an additive tint on this Game Object.

      The tint works by taking the pixel color values from the Game Objects texture, and then multiplying it by the color value of the tint. You can provide either one color value, in which case the whole Game Object will be tinted in that color. Or you can provide a color per corner. The colors are blended together across the extent of the Game Object.

      To modify the tint color once set, either call this method again with new values or use the tint property to set all colors at once. Or, use the properties tintTopLeft, tintTopRight, tintBottomLeftandtintBottomRight` to set the corner color values independently.

      To remove a tint call clearTint.

      To swap this from being an additive tint to a fill based tint set the property tintFill to true.

      Parameters

      • OptionaltopLeft: number

        The tint being applied to the top-left of the Game Object. If no other values are given this value is applied evenly, tinting the whole Game Object. Default 0xffffff.

      • OptionaltopRight: number

        The tint being applied to the top-right of the Game Object.

      • OptionalbottomLeft: number

        The tint being applied to the bottom-left of the Game Object.

      • OptionalbottomRight: number

        The tint being applied to the bottom-right of the Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Sets a fill-based tint on this Game Object.

      Unlike an additive tint, a fill-tint literally replaces the pixel colors from the texture with those in the tint. You can use this for effects such as making a player flash 'white' if hit by something. You can provide either one color value, in which case the whole Game Object will be rendered in that color. Or you can provide a color per corner. The colors are blended together across the extent of the Game Object.

      To modify the tint color once set, either call this method again with new values or use the tint property to set all colors at once. Or, use the properties tintTopLeft, tintTopRight, tintBottomLeftandtintBottomRight` to set the corner color values independently.

      To remove a tint call clearTint.

      To swap this from being a fill-tint to an additive tint set the property tintFill to false.

      Parameters

      • OptionaltopLeft: number

        The tint being applied to the top-left of the Game Object. If not other values are given this value is applied evenly, tinting the whole Game Object. Default 0xffffff.

      • OptionaltopRight: number

        The tint being applied to the top-right of the Game Object.

      • OptionalbottomLeft: number

        The tint being applied to the bottom-left of the Game Object.

      • OptionalbottomRight: number

        The tint being applied to the bottom-right of the Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Sets this Game Object to the back of the display list, or the back of its parent container.

      Being at the back means it will render below everything else.

      This method does not change this Game Objects depth value, it simply alters its list position.

      Returns this

    • Sets this Game Object to be at the top of the display list, or the top of its parent container.

      Being at the top means it will render on-top of everything else.

      This method does not change this Game Objects depth value, it simply alters its list position.

      Returns this

    • Sets the vertex round mode of this Game Object. This is used by the WebGL Renderer to determine how to round the vertex positions.

      Parameters

      • mode: string

        The vertex round mode to set. Can be 'off', 'safe', 'safeAuto', 'full' or 'fullAuto'.

      Returns this

    • Sets the visibility of this Game Object.

      An invisible Game Object will skip rendering, but will still process update logic.

      Parameters

      • value: boolean

        The visible state of the Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Sets the w position of this Game Object.

      Returns this

    • Immediately stops the current animation from playing and dispatches the ANIMATION_STOP events.

      If no animation is playing, no event will be dispatched.

      If there is another animation queued (via the chain method) then it will start playing immediately.

      Returns this

    • Stops the current animation from playing after the specified time delay, given in milliseconds.

      It then dispatches the ANIMATION_STOP event.

      If no animation is running, no events will be dispatched.

      If there is another animation in the queue (set via the chain method) then it will start playing, when the current one stops.

      Parameters

      This will invoke any 'stop' conditions that may exist on the Path, or for the follower.

      Returns this

    • Stops the current animation from playing when it next sets the given frame. If this frame doesn't exist within the animation it will not stop it from playing.

      It then dispatches the ANIMATION_STOP event.

      If no animation is running, no events will be dispatched.

      If there is another animation in the queue (set via the chain method) then it will start playing, when the current one stops.

      Parameters

      Returns this

    • Toggle a boolean value for the given key within this Game Objects Data Manager. If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is toggled from false.

      If the Game Object has not been enabled for data (via setDataEnabled) then it will be enabled before setting the value.

      If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is created.

      When the value is first set, a setdata event is emitted from this Game Object.

      Parameters

      • key: string

        The key to toggle the value for.

      Returns this

    • Toggles the horizontal flipped state of this Game Object.

      A Game Object that is flipped horizontally will render inversed on the horizontal axis. Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.

      Returns this
