Members

alive : boolean

A useful flag to control if the Game Object is alive or dead.

This is set automatically by the Health components damage method should the object run out of health. Or you can toggle it via your game code.

This property is mostly just provided to be used by your game - it doesn't effect rendering or logic updates. However you can use Group.getFirstAlive in conjunction with this property for fast object pooling and recycling.

Type:

• boolean

Inherited From:

• Phaser.Component.LifeSpan#alive

Default Value:

• true

Source:

src/gameobjects/components/LifeSpan.js line 55

alpha : number

The alpha value of this DisplayObject. A value of 1 is fully opaque. A value of 0 is transparent. Please note that an object with an alpha value of 0 is skipped during the render pass.

The value of this property does not reflect any alpha values set further up the display list. To obtain that value please see the worldAlpha property.

Type:

• number

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#alpha

Default Value:

• 1

Source:

src/pixi/display/DisplayObject.js line 73

angle : number

The angle property is the rotation of the Game Object in degrees from its original orientation.

Values from 0 to 180 represent clockwise rotation; values from 0 to -180 represent counterclockwise rotation.

Values outside this range are added to or subtracted from 360 to obtain a value within the range. For example, the statement player.angle = 450 is the same as player.angle = 90.

If you wish to work in radians instead of degrees you can use the property rotation instead. Working in radians is slightly faster as it doesn't have to perform any calculations.

Type:

• number

Inherited From:

• Phaser.Component.Angle#angle

Source:

src/gameobjects/components/Angle.js line 29

animations : Phaser.AnimationManager

If the Game Object is enabled for animation (such as a Phaser.Sprite) this is a reference to its AnimationManager instance. Through it you can create, play, pause and stop animations.

Type:

• Phaser.AnimationManager

Inherited From:

• Phaser.Component.Core#animations

Source:

src/gameobjects/components/Core.js line 186

See:

• Phaser.AnimationManager

autoCull : boolean

A Game Object with autoCull set to true will check its bounds against the World Camera every frame. If it is not intersecting the Camera bounds at any point then it has its renderable property set to false. This keeps the Game Object alive and still processing updates, but forces it to skip the render step entirely.

This is a relatively expensive operation, especially if enabled on hundreds of Game Objects. So enable it only if you know it's required, or you have tested performance and find it acceptable.

Type:

• boolean

Inherited From:

• Phaser.Component.AutoCull#autoCull

blendMode : Number

The blend mode to be applied to the graphic shape. Apply a value of PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL to reset the blend mode.

Type:

• Number

Default Value:

• PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL;

Source:

src/gameobjects/Graphics.js line 131

body : Phaser.Physics.Arcade.Body | Phaser.Physics.P2.Body | Phaser.Physics.Ninja.Body | null

body is the Game Objects physics body. Once a Game Object is enabled for physics you access all associated properties and methods via it.

By default Game Objects won't add themselves to any physics system and their body property will be null.

To enable this Game Object for physics you need to call game.physics.enable(object, system) where object is this object and system is the Physics system you are using. If none is given it defaults to Phaser.Physics.Arcade.

You can alternatively call game.physics.arcade.enable(object), or add this Game Object to a physics enabled Group.

Important: Enabling a Game Object for P2 or Ninja physics will automatically set its anchor property to 0.5, so the physics body is centered on the Game Object.

If you need a different result then adjust or re-create the Body shape offsets manually or reset the anchor after enabling physics.

boundsPadding : Number

The bounds' padding used for bounds calculation.

Type:

• Number

Source:

src/gameobjects/Graphics.js line 165

cacheAsBitmap : boolean

Sets if this DisplayObject should be cached as a bitmap.

When invoked it will take a snapshot of the DisplayObject, as it is at that moment, and store it in a RenderTexture. This is then used whenever this DisplayObject is rendered. It can provide a performance benefit for complex, but static, DisplayObjects. I.e. those with lots of children.

Transparent areas adjoining the edges may be removed (#283).

Cached Bitmaps do not track their parents. If you update a property of this DisplayObject, it will not re-generate the cached bitmap automatically. To do that you need to call DisplayObject.updateCache.

To remove a cached bitmap, set this property to null. Cache this DisplayObject as a Bitmap. Set to null to remove an existing cached bitmap.

Type:

• boolean

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#cacheAsBitmap

Inherited From:

• Phaser.Component.Bounds#centerY

Source:

src/gameobjects/components/Bounds.js line 76

checkWorldBounds : boolean

If this is set to true the Game Object checks if it is within the World bounds each frame.

When it is no longer intersecting the world bounds it dispatches the onOutOfBounds event.

If it was previously out of bounds but is now intersecting the world bounds again it dispatches the onEnterBounds event.

It also optionally kills the Game Object if outOfBoundsKill is true.

When checkWorldBounds is enabled it forces the Game Object to calculate its full bounds every frame.

This is a relatively expensive operation, especially if enabled on hundreds of Game Objects. So enable it only if you know it's required, or you have tested performance and find it acceptable.

Source:

src/pixi/display/DisplayObject.js line 740

fixedToCamera : boolean

A Game Object that is "fixed" to the camera is rendered at a given x/y offsets from the top left of the camera. The offsets are stored in the cameraOffset property, which is initialized with the current object coordinates.

The values are adjusted at the rendering stage, overriding the Game Objects actual world position.

The end result is that the Game Object will appear to be 'fixed' to the camera, regardless of where in the game world the camera is viewing. This is useful if for example this Game Object is a UI item that you wish to be visible at all times regardless where in the world the camera is.

Note that the cameraOffset values are in addition to any parent of this Game Object on the display list.

Be careful not to set fixedToCamera on Game Objects which are in Groups that already have fixedToCamera enabled on them.

input : Phaser.InputHandler | null

The Input Handler for this Game Object.

By default it is disabled. If you wish this Game Object to process input events you should enable it with: inputEnabled = true.

After you have done this, this property will be a reference to the Phaser InputHandler.

Type:

• Phaser.InputHandler | null

Inherited From:

• Phaser.Component.InputEnabled#input

Source:

src/gameobjects/components/InputEnabled.js line 24

inputEnabled : boolean

By default a Game Object won't process any input events. By setting inputEnabled to true a Phaser.InputHandler is created for this Game Object and it will then start to process click / touch events and more.

You can then access the Input Handler via this.input.

Note that Input related events are dispatched from this.events, i.e.: events.onInputDown.

If you set this property to false it will stop the Input Handler from processing any more input events.

If you want to temporarily disable input for a Game Object, then it's better to set input.enabled = false, as it won't reset any of the Input Handlers internal properties. You can then toggle this back on as needed.

Source:

src/pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js line 41

Returns:

The child that was added.

Type

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
child	DisplayObject	The child to add
index	Number	The index to place the child in

alignIn(container [, position] [, offsetX] [, offsetY])

Aligns this Game Object within another Game Object, or Rectangle, known as the 'container', to one of 9 possible positions.

The container must be a Game Object, or Phaser.Rectangle object. This can include properties such as World.bounds or Camera.view, for aligning Game Objects within the world and camera bounds. Or it can include other Sprites, Images, Text objects, BitmapText, TileSprites or Buttons.

Please note that aligning a Sprite to another Game Object does not make it a child of the container. It simply modifies its position coordinates so it aligns with it.

The position constants you can use are:

Phaser.TOP_LEFT, Phaser.TOP_CENTER, Phaser.TOP_RIGHT, Phaser.LEFT_CENTER, Phaser.CENTER, Phaser.RIGHT_CENTER, Phaser.BOTTOM_LEFT, Phaser.BOTTOM_CENTER and Phaser.BOTTOM_RIGHT.

The Game Objects are placed in such a way that their bounds align with the container, taking into consideration rotation, scale and the anchor property. This allows you to neatly align Game Objects, irrespective of their position value.

The optional offsetX and offsetY arguments allow you to apply extra spacing to the final aligned position of the Game Object. For example:

sprite.alignIn(background, Phaser.BOTTOM_RIGHT, -20, -20)

Would align the sprite to the bottom-right, but moved 20 pixels in from the corner. Think of the offsets as applying an adjustment to the containers bounds before the alignment takes place. So providing a negative offset will 'shrink' the container bounds by that amount, and providing a positive one expands it.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
container	Phaser.Rectangle | Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Image | Phaser.Text | Phaser.BitmapText | Phaser.Button | Phaser.Graphics | Phaser.TileSprite			The Game Object or Rectangle with which to align this Game Object to. Can also include properties such as World.bounds or Camera.view.
position	integer	<optional>		The position constant. One of Phaser.TOP_LEFT (default), Phaser.TOP_CENTER, Phaser.TOP_RIGHT, Phaser.LEFT_CENTER, Phaser.CENTER, Phaser.RIGHT_CENTER, Phaser.BOTTOM_LEFT, Phaser.BOTTOM_CENTER or Phaser.BOTTOM_RIGHT.
offsetX	integer	<optional>	0	A horizontal adjustment of the Containers bounds, applied to the aligned position of the Game Object. Use a negative value to shrink the bounds, positive to increase it.
offsetY	integer	<optional>	0	A vertical adjustment of the Containers bounds, applied to the aligned position of the Game Object. Use a negative value to shrink the bounds, positive to increase it.

alignTo(parent [, position] [, offsetX] [, offsetY])

Aligns this Game Object to the side of another Game Object, or Rectangle, known as the 'parent', in one of 11 possible positions.

The parent must be a Game Object, or Phaser.Rectangle object. This can include properties such as World.bounds or Camera.view, for aligning Game Objects within the world and camera bounds. Or it can include other Sprites, Images, Text objects, BitmapText, TileSprites or Buttons.

Please note that aligning a Sprite to another Game Object does not make it a child of the parent. It simply modifies its position coordinates so it aligns with it.

The position constants you can use are:

Phaser.TOP_LEFT (default), Phaser.TOP_CENTER, Phaser.TOP_RIGHT, Phaser.LEFT_TOP, Phaser.LEFT_CENTER, Phaser.LEFT_BOTTOM, Phaser.RIGHT_TOP, Phaser.RIGHT_CENTER, Phaser.RIGHT_BOTTOM, Phaser.BOTTOM_LEFT, Phaser.BOTTOM_CENTER and Phaser.BOTTOM_RIGHT.

The Game Objects are placed in such a way that their bounds align with the parent, taking into consideration rotation, scale and the anchor property. This allows you to neatly align Game Objects, irrespective of their position value.

The optional offsetX and offsetY arguments allow you to apply extra spacing to the final aligned position of the Game Object. For example:

sprite.alignTo(background, Phaser.BOTTOM_RIGHT, -20, -20)

Would align the sprite to the bottom-right, but moved 20 pixels in from the corner. Think of the offsets as applying an adjustment to the parents bounds before the alignment takes place. So providing a negative offset will 'shrink' the parent bounds by that amount, and providing a positive one expands it.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
parent	Phaser.Rectangle | Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Image | Phaser.Text | Phaser.BitmapText | Phaser.Button | Phaser.Graphics | Phaser.TileSprite			The Game Object or Rectangle with which to align this Game Object to. Can also include properties such as World.bounds or Camera.view.
position	integer	<optional>		The position constant. One of Phaser.TOP_LEFT, Phaser.TOP_CENTER, Phaser.TOP_RIGHT, Phaser.LEFT_TOP, Phaser.LEFT_CENTER, Phaser.LEFT_BOTTOM, Phaser.RIGHT_TOP, Phaser.RIGHT_CENTER, Phaser.RIGHT_BOTTOM, Phaser.BOTTOM_LEFT, Phaser.BOTTOM_CENTER or Phaser.BOTTOM_RIGHT.
offsetX	integer	<optional>	0	A horizontal adjustment of the Containers bounds, applied to the aligned position of the Game Object. Use a negative value to shrink the bounds, positive to increase it.
offsetY	integer	<optional>	0	A vertical adjustment of the Containers bounds, applied to the aligned position of the Game Object. Use a negative value to shrink the bounds, positive to increase it.
