Class: Video

Phaser.GameObjects. Video

A Video Game Object.

This Game Object is capable of handling playback of a previously loaded video from the Phaser Video Cache, or playing a video based on a given URL. Videos can be either local, or streamed.

preload () {
  this.load.video('pixar', 'nemo.mp4');
}

create () {
  this.add.video(400, 300, 'pixar');
}

To all intents and purposes, a video is a standard Game Object, just like a Sprite. And as such, you can do all the usual things to it, such as scaling, rotating, cropping, tinting, making interactive, giving a physics body, etc.

Transparent videos are also possible via the WebM file format. Providing the video file has was encoded with an alpha channel, and providing the browser supports WebM playback (not all of them do), then it will render in-game with full transparency.

Autoplaying Videos

Videos can only autoplay if the browser has been unlocked with an interaction, or satisfies the MEI settings. The policies that control autoplaying are vast and vary between browser. You can, and should, read more about it here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Autoplay_guide

If your video doesn't contain any audio, then set the noAudio parameter to true when the video is loaded, and it will often allow the video to play immediately:

preload () {
  this.load.video('pixar', 'nemo.mp4', 'loadeddata', false, true);
}

The 5th parameter in the load call tells Phaser that the video doesn't contain any audio tracks. Video without audio can autoplay without requiring a user interaction. Video with audio cannot do this unless it satisfies the browsers MEI settings. See the MDN Autoplay Guide for further details.

Note that due to a bug in IE11 you cannot play a video texture to a Sprite in WebGL. For IE11 force Canvas mode.

More details about video playback and the supported media formats can be found on MDN:

blendMode :Phaser.BlendModes|string

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:

  • ADD

  • 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.

Inherited From:
Source: src/gameobjects/GameObject.js (Line 38)

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.

  • 1
Source: src/gameobjects/components/ScrollFactor.js (Line 16)

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.

Type:
Since: 3.20.0
Source: src/gameobjects/video/Video.js (Line 154)

state :number|string

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.

Markers allow you to split a video up into sequences, delineated by a start and end time, given in seconds.

You can then play back specific markers via the playMarker method.

Note that marker timing is not frame-perfect. You should construct your videos in such a way that you allow for plenty of extra padding before and after each sequence to allow for discrepancies in browser seek and currentTime accuracy.

See https://github.com/w3c/media-and-entertainment/issues/4 for more details about this issue.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
key string

A unique name to give this marker.
markerIn number

The time, in seconds, representing the start of this marker.
markerOut number

The time, in seconds, representing the end of this marker.

Returns:

This Video Game Object for method chaining.

Type
Phaser.GameObjects.Video

changeSource(key [, autoplay] [, loop] [, markerIn] [, markerOut])

This method allows you to change the source of the current video element. It works by first stopping the current video, if playing. Then deleting the video texture, if one has been created. Finally, it makes a new video texture and starts playback of the new source through the existing video element.

The reason you may wish to do this is because videos that require interaction to unlock, remain in an unlocked state, even if you change the source of the video. By changing the source to a new video you avoid having to go through the unlock process again.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
key string

The key of the Video this Game Object will swap to playing, as stored in the Video Cache.
autoplay boolean <optional>
 true

Should the video start playing immediately, once the swap is complete?
loop boolean <optional>
 false

Should the video loop automatically when it reaches the end? Please note that not all browsers support seamless video looping for all encoding formats.
markerIn number <optional>

Optional in marker time, in seconds, for playback of a sequence of the video.
markerOut number <optional>

Optional out marker time, in seconds, for playback of a sequence of the video.

createBitmapMask( [renderable])

Creates and returns a Bitmap Mask. This mask can be used by any Game Object, including this one.

Note: Bitmap Masks only work on WebGL. Geometry Masks work on both WebGL and Canvas.

To create the mask you need to pass in a reference to a renderable Game Object. A renderable Game Object is one that uses a texture to render with, such as an Image, Sprite, Render Texture or BitmapText.

If you do not provide a renderable object, and this Game Object has a texture, it will use itself as the object. This means you can call this method to create a Bitmap Mask from any renderable Game Object.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
renderable Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject <optional>

A renderable Game Object that uses a texture, such as a Sprite.
Since: 3.6.2
Inherited From:
Source: src/gameobjects/components/Mask.js (Line 80)
Returns:

This Bitmap Mask that was created.

Type
Phaser.Display.Masks.BitmapMask

createGeometryMask( [graphics])

Creates and returns a Geometry Mask. This mask can be used by any Game Object, including this one.

To create the mask you need to pass in a reference to a Graphics Game Object.

If you do not provide a graphics object, and this Game Object is an instance of a Graphics object, then it will use itself to create the mask.

This means you can call this method to create a Geometry Mask from any Graphics Game Object.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
graphics Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics <optional>

A Graphics Game Object. The geometry within it will be used as the mask.
Since: 3.6.2
Inherited From:
Source: src/gameobjects/components/Mask.js (Line 112)
Returns:

This Geometry Mask that was created.

Type
Phaser.Display.Masks.GeometryMask

destroy()

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.

Since: 3.0.0
Inherited From:
Source: src/gameobjects/GameObject.js (Line 661)
Fires:

disableInteractive()

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.

play( [loop] [, markerIn] [, markerOut])

Starts this video playing.

If the video is already playing, or has been queued to play with changeSource then this method just returns.

Videos can only autoplay if the browser has been unlocked. This happens if you have interacted with the browser, i.e. by clicking on it or pressing a key, or due to server settings. The policies that control autoplaying are vast and vary between browser. You can read more here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Autoplay_guide

If your video doesn't contain any audio, then set the noAudio parameter to true when the video is loaded, and it will often allow the video to play immediately:

preload () {
  this.load.video('pixar', 'nemo.mp4', 'loadeddata', false, true);
}

The 5th parameter in the load call tells Phaser that the video doesn't contain any audio tracks. Video without audio can autoplay without requiring a user interaction. Video with audio cannot do this unless it satisfies the browsers MEI settings. See the MDN Autoplay Guide for details.

If you need audio in your videos, then you'll have to consider the fact that the video cannot start playing until the user has interacted with the browser, into your game flow.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
loop boolean <optional>
 false

Should the video loop automatically when it reaches the end? Please note that not all browsers support seamless video looping for all encoding formats.
markerIn number <optional>

Optional in marker time, in seconds, for playback of a sequence of the video.
markerOut number <optional>

Optional out marker time, in seconds, for playback of a sequence of the video.

Since: 3.20.0
Source: src/gameobjects/video/Video.js (Line 962)
Fires:

playMarker(key [, loop])

Plays a pre-defined sequence in this video.

Markers allow you to split a video up into sequences, delineated by a start and end time, given in seconds and specified via the addMarker method.

Note that marker timing is not frame-perfect. You should construct your videos in such a way that you allow for plenty of extra padding before and after each sequence to allow for discrepancies in browser seek and currentTime accuracy.

See https://github.com/w3c/media-and-entertainment/issues/4 for more details about this issue.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
key string

The name of the marker sequence to play.
loop boolean <optional>
 false

Should the video loop automatically when it reaches the end? Please note that not all browsers support seamless video looping for all encoding formats.

removedFromScene()

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.

Since: 3.50.0
Inherited From:
Source: src/gameobjects/GameObject.js (Line 563)

removeInteractive()

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.)

saveSnapshotTexture(key)

Stores a copy of this Videos snapshotTexture in the Texture Manager using the given key.

This texture is created when the snapshot or snapshotArea methods are called.

After doing this, any texture based Game Object, such as a Sprite, can use the contents of the snapshot by using the texture key:

var vid = this.add.video(0, 0, 'intro');

vid.snapshot();

vid.saveSnapshotTexture('doodle');

this.add.image(400, 300, 'doodle');

Updating the contents of the snapshotTexture, for example by calling snapshot again, will automatically update any Game Object that is using it as a texture. Calling saveSnapshotTexture again will not save another copy of the same texture, it will just rename the existing one.

By default it will create a single base texture. You can add frames to the texture by using the Texture.add method. After doing this, you can then allow Game Objects to use a specific frame.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
key string

The unique key to store the texture as within the global Texture Manager.
Since: 3.20.0
Source: src/gameobjects/video/Video.js (Line 753)
Returns:

The Texture that was saved.

Type
Phaser.Textures.CanvasTexture

saveTexture(key [, flipY])

Stores this Video in the Texture Manager using the given key as a dynamic texture, which any texture-based Game Object, such as a Sprite, can use as its texture:

var vid = this.add.video(0, 0, 'intro');

vid.play();

vid.saveTexture('doodle');

this.add.image(400, 300, 'doodle');

The saved texture is automatically updated as the video plays. If you pause this video, or change its source, then the saved texture updates instantly.

Calling saveTexture again will not save another copy of the same texture, it will just rename the existing one.

By default it will create a single base texture. You can add frames to the texture by using the Texture.add method. After doing this, you can then allow Game Objects to use a specific frame.

If you intend to save the texture so you can use it as the input for a Shader, you may need to set the flipY parameter to true if you find the video renders upside down in your shader.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
key string

The unique key to store the texture as within the global Texture Manager.
flipY boolean <optional>
 false

Should the WebGL Texture set UNPACK_MULTIPLY_FLIP_Y during upload?
Since: 3.20.0
Source: src/gameobjects/video/Video.js (Line 1665)
Returns:

Type
Phaser.Textures.Texture

seekTo(value)

Seeks to a given point in the video. The value is given as a float between 0 and 1, where 0 represents the start of the video and 1 represents the end.

Seeking only works if the video has a duration, so will not work for live streams.

When seeking begins, this video will emit a seeking event. When the video completes seeking (i.e. reaches its designated timestamp) it will emit a seeked event.

If you wish to seek based on time instead, use the Video.setCurrentTime method.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
value number

The point in the video to seek to. A value between 0 and 1.

setAlpha( [topLeft] [, topRight] [, bottomLeft] [, bottomRight])

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:
Name Type Argument Default Description
topLeft number <optional>
 1

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.
topRight number <optional>

The alpha value used for the top-right of the Game Object. WebGL only.
bottomLeft number <optional>

The alpha value used for the bottom-left of the Game Object. WebGL only.
bottomRight number <optional>

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

setBlendMode(value)

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:

  • 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:
Name Type Description
value string | Phaser.BlendModes

The BlendMode value. Either a string or a CONST.

Type
Phaser.GameObjects.Video

setCrop( [x] [, y] [, width] [, height])

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 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 rect 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:
Name Type Argument Description
x number | Phaser.Geom.Rectangle <optional>

The x coordinate to start the crop from. Or a Phaser.Geom.Rectangle object, in which case the rest of the arguments are ignored.
y number <optional>

The y coordinate to start the crop from.
width number <optional>

The width of the crop rectangle in pixels.
height number <optional>

The height of the crop rectangle in pixels.

Type
Phaser.GameObjects.Video

setCurrentTime(value)

Seeks to a given playback time in the video. The value is given in seconds or as a string.

Seeking only works if the video has a duration, so will not work for live streams.

When seeking begins, this video will emit a seeking event. When the video completes seeking (i.e. reaches its designated timestamp) it will emit a seeked event.

You can provide a string prefixed with either a + or a -, such as +2.5 or -2.5. In this case it will seek to +/- the value given, relative to the current time.

If you wish to seek based on a duration percentage instead, use the Video.seekTo method.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
value string | number

The playback time to seek to in seconds. Can be expressed as a string, such as +2 to seek 2 seconds ahead from the current time.
Since: 3.20.0
Source: src/gameobjects/video/Video.js (Line 1242)
Returns:

Type
Phaser.GameObjects.Video

setData(key [, data])

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.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
key string | object

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

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

setDepth(value)

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:

setFrame(frame [, updateSize] [, updateOrigin])

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

The Frame has to belong to the current Texture being used.

It can be either a string or an index.

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:
Name Type Argument Default Description
frame string | number

setInteractive( [hitArea] [, callback] [, dropZone])

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:
Name Type Argument Default Description
hitArea Phaser.Types.Input.InputConfiguration | any <optional>

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.
callback Phaser.Types.Input.HitAreaCallback <optional>

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.
dropZone boolean <optional>
 false

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

setMask(mask)

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

The mask must have been previously created and can be either a GeometryMask or a BitmapMask. Note: Bitmap Masks only work on WebGL. Geometry Masks work on both WebGL and Canvas.

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:
Name Type Description
mask Phaser.Display.Masks.BitmapMask | Phaser.Display.Masks.GeometryMask

The mask this Game Object will use when rendering.

When the renderer processes this Game Object, it iterates through the post pipelines in the order in which they appear in the array. If you are stacking together multiple effects, be aware that the order is important.

If you call this method multiple times, the new pipelines will be appended to any existing post pipelines already set. Use the resetPostPipeline method to clear them first, if required.

You can optionally also sets the pipelineData property, if the parameter is given.

Both the pipeline and post pipelines share the pipeline data object together.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
pipelines string | Array.<string> | function | Array.<function()> | Phaser.Renderer.WebGL.Pipelines.PostFXPipeline | Array.<Phaser.Renderer.WebGL.Pipelines.PostFXPipeline>

Either the string-based name of the pipeline, or a pipeline instance, or class, or an array of them.
pipelineData object <optional>

Optional pipeline data object that is deep copied into the pipelineData property of this Game Object.
copyData boolean <optional>
 true

Should the pipeline data object be deep copied into the pipelineData property of this Game Object? If false it will be set by reference instead.

setRandomPosition( [x] [, y] [, width] [, height])

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:
Name Type Argument Default Description
x number <optional>
 0

The x position of the top-left of the random area.
y number <optional>
 0

The y position of the top-left of the random area.
width number <optional>

The width of the random area.
height number <optional>

The height of the random area.

Type
Phaser.GameObjects.Video

setScrollFactor(x [, y])

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:
Name Type Argument Default Description
x number

The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object.
y number <optional>
 x

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

Type
Phaser.GameObjects.Video

setSize(width, height)

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:
Name Type Description
width number

The width of this Game Object.
height number

The height of this Game Object.
Since: 3.0.0
Inherited From:
Source: src/gameobjects/components/Size.js (Line 131)
Returns:

setSizeToFrame(frame)

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:

setState(value)

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:
Name Type Description
value number | string

The state of the Game Object.

setTint( [topLeft] [, topRight] [, bottomLeft] [, bottomRight])

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:
Name Type Argument Default Description
topLeft number <optional>
 0xffffff

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.
topRight number <optional>

The tint being applied to the top-right of the Game Object.
bottomLeft number <optional>

The tint being applied to the bottom-left of the Game Object.
bottomRight number <optional>

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

setTintFill( [topLeft] [, topRight] [, bottomLeft] [, bottomRight])

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:
Name Type Argument Default Description
topLeft number <optional>
 0xffffff

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.
topRight number <optional>

The tint being applied to the top-right of the Game Object.
bottomLeft number <optional>

The tint being applied to the bottom-left of the Game Object.
bottomRight number <optional>
