Constructor

Phaser.Component. Core

new Core()

Core Component Features.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 12)

Public Properties

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.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 186)
See

<internal> components : Object

The components this Game Object has installed.

Internal:
  • This member is internal (protected) and may be modified or removed in the future.
Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 160)

debug : boolean

A debug flag designed for use with Game.enableStep.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 211)

events : Phaser.Events

All Phaser Game Objects have an Events class which contains all of the events that are dispatched when certain things happen to this Game Object, or any of its components.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 178)
See

exists : boolean

Controls if this Game Object is processed by the core game loop. If this Game Object has a physics body it also controls if its physics body is updated or not. When exists is set to false it will remove its physics body from the physics world if it has one. It also toggles the visible property to false as well.

Setting exists to true will add its physics body back in to the physics world, if it has one. It will also set the visible property to true.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 277)

[readonly] fresh : boolean

A Game Object is considered fresh if it has just been created or reset and is yet to receive a renderer transform update. This property is mostly used internally by the physics systems, but is exposed for the use of plugins.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 241)

game : Phaser.Game

A reference to the currently running Game.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 145)

key : string | Phaser.RenderTexture | Phaser.BitmapData | Phaser.Video | PIXI.Texture

The key of the image or texture used by this Game Object during rendering. If it is a string it's the string used to retrieve the texture from the Phaser Image Cache. It can also be an instance of a RenderTexture, BitmapData, Video or PIXI.Texture. If a Game Object is created without a key it is automatically assigned the key __default which is a 32x32 transparent PNG stored within the Cache. If a Game Object is given a key which doesn't exist in the Image Cache it is re-assigned the key __missing which is a 32x32 PNG of a green box with a line through it.

Type
Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 196)

name : string

A user defined name given to this Game Object. This value isn't ever used internally by Phaser, it is meant as a game level property.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 153)

pendingDestroy : boolean

A Game Object is that is pendingDestroy is flagged to have its destroy method called on the next logic update. You can set it directly to allow you to flag an object to be destroyed on its next update.

This is extremely useful if you wish to destroy an object from within one of its own callbacks such as with Buttons or other Input events.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 252)

[readonly] previousPosition : Phaser.Point

The position the Game Object was located in the previous frame.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 218)

[readonly] previousRotation : number

The rotation the Game Object was in set to in the previous frame. Value is in radians.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 225)

[readonly] renderOrderID : number

The render order ID is used internally by the renderer and Input Manager and should not be modified. This property is mostly used internally by the renderers, but is exposed for the use of plugins.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 233)

world : Phaser.Point

The world coordinates of this Game Object in pixels. Depending on where in the display list this Game Object is placed this value can differ from position, which contains the x/y coordinates relative to the Game Objects parent.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 204)

[readonly] z : number

The z depth of this Game Object within its parent Group. No two objects in a Group can have the same z value. This value is adjusted automatically whenever the Group hierarchy changes. If you wish to re-order the layering of a Game Object then see methods like Group.moveUp or Group.bringToTop.

Public Methods

<internal, static> init()

Initializes the mixin components.

The this context should be an instance of the component mixin target.

Internal:
  • This member is internal (protected) and may be modified or removed in the future.
Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 54)

<internal, static> install()

Installs / registers mixin components.

The this context should be that of the applicable object instance or prototype.

Internal:
  • This member is internal (protected) and may be modified or removed in the future.
Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 22)

<internal> postUpdate()

Internal method called by the World postUpdate cycle.

Internal:
  • This member is internal (protected) and may be modified or removed in the future.
Source code: gameobjects/components/Core.js (Line 331)

update()

Override this method in your own custom objects to handle any update requirements. It is called immediately after preUpdate and before postUpdate. Remember if this Game Object has any children you should call update on those too.
