Members

alpha :Number

Define the renderable opacity
Set to zero if you do not wish an object to be drawn

Inherited From:
Default Value:
  • 1.0
See:

ancestor :me.Container|me.Entity

a reference to the parent object that contains this renderable

Inherited From:
Default Value:
  • undefined

anchorPoint :me.ObservableVector2d

The anchor point is used for attachment behavior, and/or when applying transformations.
The coordinate system places the origin at the top left corner of the frame (0, 0) and (1, 1) means the bottom-right corner
:
a Renderable's anchor point defaults to (0.5,0.5), which corresponds to the center position.

Inherited From:
Default Value:
  • <0.5,0.5>

body :me.Body

the renderable physic body

Inherited From:
See:
Example
// define a new Player Class
 game.PlayerEntity = me.Sprite.extend({
     // constructor
     init:function (x, y, settings) {
         // call the parent constructor
         this._super(me.Sprite, 'init', [x, y , settings]);

         // define a basic walking animation
         this.addAnimation("walk",  [...]);
         // define a standing animation (using the first frame)
         this.addAnimation("stand",  [...]);
         // set the standing animation as default
         this.setCurrentAnimation("stand");

         // add a physic body
         this.body = new me.Body(this);
         // add a default collision shape
         this.body.addShape(new me.Rect(0, 0, this.width, this.height));
         // configure max speed and friction
         this.body.setMaxVelocity(3, 15);
         this.body.setFriction(0.4, 0);

         // enable physic collision (off by default for basic me.Renderable)
         this.isKinematic = false;

         // set the display to follow our position on both axis
         me.game.viewport.follow(this.pos, me.game.viewport.AXIS.BOTH);
     },

     ...

}

currentTransform :me.Matrix2d

the renderable default transformation matrix

Inherited From:

isDirty :Boolean

when true the renderable will be redrawn during the next update cycle

Inherited From:
Default Value:
  • false

mask :me.Rect|me.Polygon|me.Line|me.Ellipse

A mask limits rendering elements to the shape and position of the given mask object. So, if the renderable is larger than the mask, only the intersecting part of the renderable will be visible.

Inherited From:
Default Value:
  • undefined
Example
// apply a mask in the shape of a Star
myNPCSprite.mask = new me.Polygon(myNPCSprite.width / 2, 0, [
   // draw a star
   {x: 0, y: 0},
   {x: 14, y: 30},
   {x: 47, y: 35},
   {x: 23, y: 57},
   {x: 44, y: 90},
   {x: 0, y: 62},
   {x: -44, y: 90},
   {x: -23, y: 57},
   {x: -47, y: 35},
   {x: -14, y: 30}
]);

onVisibilityChange :function

an event handler that is called when the renderable leave or enter a camera viewport

Inherited From:
Default Value:
  • undefined
Example
this.onVisibilityChange = function(inViewport) {
    if (inViewport === true) {
        console.log("object has entered the in a camera viewport!");
    }
};

points :Array.<me.Vector2d>

Array of points defining the Polygon
Note: If you manually change points, you must call recalcafterwards so that the changes get applied correctly.

Inherited From:

pos :me.ObservableVector3d

Position of the Renderable relative to its parent container

Inherited From:

tint :me.Color

define a tint for this renderable. a (255, 255, 255) r, g, b value will remove the tint effect.

Inherited From:
Default Value:
  • (255, 255, 255)
Example
// add a red tint to this renderable
this.tint.setColor(255, 128, 128);
// remove the tint
this.tint.setColor(255, 255, 255);
