Constructor

Phaser. Events

new Events(sprite)

The Events component is a collection of events fired by the parent Game Object.

Phaser uses what are known as 'Signals' for all event handling. All of the events in this class are signals you can subscribe to, much in the same way you'd "listen" for an event.

For example to tell when a Sprite has been added to a new group, you can bind a function to the onAddedToGroup signal:

sprite.events.onAddedToGroup.add(yourFunction, this);

Where yourFunction is the function you want called when this event occurs.

For more details about how signals work please see the Phaser.Signal class.

The Input-related events will only be dispatched if the Sprite has had inputEnabled set to true and the Animation-related events only apply to game objects with animations like Phaser.Sprite.

Parameters
Name Type Description
sprite Phaser.Sprite

A reference to the game object / Sprite that owns this Events object.

Public Properties

onAddedToGroup : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched when this Game Object is added to a new Group. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that was added to the Group. {Phaser.Group} The Group it was added to.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 84)

onAnimationComplete : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has the AnimationManager component, and an Animation has been stopped (via animation.stop() and the dispatchComplete argument has been set. You can also listen to Animation.onComplete rather than via the Game Objects events. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Animation} The Phaser.Animation that was stopped.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 249)

onAnimationLoop : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has the AnimationManager component, and an Animation has looped playback. You can also listen to Animation.onLoop rather than via the Game Objects events. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Animation} The Phaser.Animation that looped.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 260)

onAnimationStart : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has the AnimationManager component, and an Animation has been played. You can also listen to Animation.onStart rather than via the Game Objects events. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Animation} The Phaser.Animation that was started.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 238)

onDestroy : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched when the Game Object is destroyed. This happens when Sprite.destroy() is called, or Group.destroy() with destroyChildren set to true. It is sent one argument: {any} The Game Object that was destroyed.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 109)

onDragStart : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has been inputEnabled and enableDrag has been set. It is sent when a Phaser.Pointer starts to drag the Game Object, taking into consideration the various drag limitations that may be set. It is sent four arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Pointer} The Phaser.Pointer object that caused the event. {number} The x coordinate that the drag started from. {number} The y coordinate that the drag started from.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 202)

onDragStop : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has been inputEnabled and enableDrag has been set. It is sent when a Phaser.Pointer stops dragging the Game Object. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Pointer} The Phaser.Pointer object that caused the event.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 227)

onDragUpdate : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has been inputEnabled and enableDrag has been set. It is sent when a Phaser.Pointer is actively dragging the Game Object. Be warned: This is a high volume Signal. Be careful what you bind to it. It is sent six arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Pointer} The Phaser.Pointer object that caused the event. {number} The new x coordinate of the Game Object. {number} The new y coordinate of the Game Object. {Phaser.Point} A Point object that contains the point the Game Object was snapped to, if snapOnDrag has been enabled. {boolean} The fromStart boolean, indicates if this is the first update immediately after the drag has started.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 217)

onEnterBounds : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched when the Game Object returns within the Phaser.World bounds, having previously been outside of them. This signal is only if Sprite.checkWorldBounds is set to true. It is sent one argument: {any} The Game Object that entered the World bounds.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 146)

onInputDown : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has inputEnabled set to true, and receives a down event from a Phaser.Pointer. This effectively means the Pointer has been pressed down (but not yet released) on the Game Object. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Pointer} The Phaser.Pointer object that caused the event.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 177)

onInputOut : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has inputEnabled set to true, and receives an out event from a Phaser.Pointer, which was previously over it. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Pointer} The Phaser.Pointer object that caused the event.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 166)

onInputOver : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has inputEnabled set to true, and receives an over event from a Phaser.Pointer. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Pointer} The Phaser.Pointer object that caused the event.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 156)

onInputUp : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched if the Game Object has inputEnabled set to true, and receives an up event from a Phaser.Pointer. This effectively means the Pointer had been pressed down, and was then released on the Game Object. It is sent three arguments: {any} The Game Object that received the event. {Phaser.Pointer} The Phaser.Pointer object that caused the event. {boolean} isOver - Is the Pointer still over the Game Object?

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 189)

onKilled : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched when the Game Object is killed. This happens when Sprite.kill() is called. Please understand the difference between kill and destroy by looking at their respective methods. It is sent one argument: {any} The Game Object that was killed.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 119)

onOutOfBounds : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched when the Game Object leaves the Phaser.World bounds. This signal is only if Sprite.checkWorldBounds is set to true. It is sent one argument: {any} The Game Object that left the World bounds.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 137)

onRemovedFromGroup : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched when the Game Object is removed from a Group. It is sent two arguments: {any} The Game Object that was removed from the Group. {Phaser.Group} The Group it was removed from.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 93)

onRemovedFromWorld : Phaser.Signal

This method is deprecated and should not be used. It may be removed in the future.

This Signal is never used internally by Phaser and is now deprecated.

Deprecated:
  • Yes
Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 100)

onRevived : Phaser.Signal

This signal is dispatched when the Game Object is revived from a previously killed state. This happens when Sprite.revive() is called. It is sent one argument: {any} The Game Object that was revived.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 128)

parent : Phaser.Sprite

The Sprite that owns these events.

Source code: gameobjects/components/Events.js (Line 35)

Public Methods

destroy()

Removes all events.
