Class: Face

Phaser.Geom.Mesh. Face

A Face Geometry Object.

A Face is used by the Mesh Game Object. A Mesh consists of one, or more, faces that are used to render the Mesh Game Objects in WebGL.

A Face consists of 3 Vertex instances, for the 3 corners of the face and methods to help you modify and test them.

new Face(vertex1, vertex2, vertex3)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
vertex1 Phaser.Geom.Mesh.Vertex

The first vertex of the Face.
vertex2 Phaser.Geom.Mesh.Vertex

The second vertex of the Face.
vertex3 Phaser.Geom.Mesh.Vertex

The third vertex of the Face.
Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 34)

Members

alpha :number

Set the alpha value of this Face.

Each vertex is given the same value. If you need to adjust the alpha on a per-vertex basis then use the Vertex.alpha property instead.

When getting the alpha of this Face, it will return an average of the alpha component of all three vertices.

Type:
  • number
Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 487)

bounds :Phaser.Geom.Rectangle

The bounds of this Face.

Be sure to call the Face.updateBounds method before using this property.

Type:
Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 86)

<readonly> depth :number

The depth of this Face, which is an average of the z component of all three vertices.

The depth is calculated based on the transformed z value, not the local one.

Methods

contains(x, y [, calcMatrix])

Checks if the given coordinates are within this Face.

You can optionally provide a transform matrix. If given, the Face vertices will be transformed first, before being checked against the coordinates.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
x number

The horizontal position to check.
y number

The vertical position to check.
calcMatrix Phaser.GameObjects.Components.TransformMatrix <optional>

Optional transform matrix to apply to the vertices before comparison.
Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 170)
Returns:

true if the coordinates lay within this Face, otherwise false.

Type
boolean

destroy()

Destroys this Face and nulls the references to the vertices.

Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 543)

getInCenter( [local])

Calculates and returns the in-center position of this Face.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description
local boolean <optional>
 true

Return the in center from the un-transformed vertex positions (true), or transformed? (false)
Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 108)
Returns:

A Vector2 containing the in center position of this Face.

Type
Phaser.Math.Vector2

isCounterClockwise(z)

Checks if the vertices in this Face are orientated counter-clockwise, or not.

It checks the transformed position of the vertices, not the local one.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
z number

The z-axis value to test against. Typically the Mesh.modelPosition.z.
Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 243)
Returns:

true if the vertices in this Face run counter-clockwise, otherwise false.

Type
boolean

isInView(camera, hideCCW, z, alpha, a, b, c, d, e, f, roundPixels)

Checks if this Face is within the view of the given Camera.

This method is called in the MeshWebGLRenderer function. It performs the following tasks:

First, the Vertex.update method is called on each of the vertices. This populates them with the new translated values, updating their tx, ty and ta properties.

Then it tests to see if this face is visible due to the alpha values, if not, it returns.

After this, if hideCCW is set, it calls isCounterClockwise and returns if not.

Finally, it will update the Face.bounds based on the newly translated vertex values and return the results of an intersection test between the bounds and the camera world view rectangle.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
camera Phaser.Cameras.Scene2D.Camera

The Camera to check against.
hideCCW boolean

Test the counter-clockwise orientation of the verts?
z number

The Cameras z position, used in the CCW test.
alpha number

The alpha of the parent object.
a number

The parent transform matrix data a component.
b number

The parent transform matrix data b component.
c number

The parent transform matrix data c component.
d number

The parent transform matrix data d component.
e number

The parent transform matrix data e component.
f number

The parent transform matrix data f component.
roundPixels boolean

Round the vertex position or not?
Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 344)
Returns:

true if this Face can be seen by the Camera.

Type
boolean

load(F32, U32, offset, textureUnit, alpha, a, b, c, d, e, f, roundPixels)

Loads the data from this Vertex into the given Typed Arrays.

Parameters:

The texture unit currently in use.
alpha number

The alpha of the parent object.

The parent transform matrix data d component.
e number

The parent transform matrix data e component.
f number

The parent transform matrix data f component.

Type
number

transformCoordinatesLocal(transformMatrix, width, height, cameraZ)

Transforms all Face vertices by the given matrix, storing the results in their vx, vy and vz properties.

Parameters:

The transform matrix to apply to this vertex.
width number

The width of the parent Mesh.
height number

The height of the parent Mesh.

Returns:

This Face instance.

Type
Phaser.Geom.Mesh.Face

translate(x [, y])

Translates the vertices of this Face by the given amounts.

The actual vertex positions are adjusted, not their transformed position.

Therefore, this updates the vertex data directly.

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description

y number <optional>
 0

The amount to vertically translate by.
Since: 3.50.0
Source: src/geom/mesh/Face.js (Line 406)
Returns:

This Face instance.

Type

updateBounds()

Updates the bounds of this Face, based on the translated values of the vertices.

Call this method prior to accessing the Face.bounds property.

Returns:

This Face instance.
