Constructors

constructor

Properties

GUID

GUID: string

(G)ame (U)nique (Id)entifier"
a GUID will be allocated for any renderable object added
to an object container (including the me.game.world container)

alpha

alpha: number

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

See

  • Renderable#setOpacity
  • Renderable#getOpacity

Default

1.0

alwaysUpdate

alwaysUpdate: boolean

Whether the renderable object will always update, even when outside of the viewport

Default

false

ancestor

ancestor: Container | Entity

a reference to the parent object that contains this renderable

Default

undefined

anchorPoint

anchorPoint: ObservablePoint

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.

Note: Object created through Tiled will have their anchorPoint set to (0, 0) to match Tiled Level editor implementation. To specify a value through Tiled, use a json expression like json:{"x":0.5,"y":0.5}.

Default

<0.5,0.5>

animatedTilesets

animatedTilesets: TMXTileset[]

All animated tilesets in this layer

autoTransform

autoTransform: boolean

When enabled, an object container will automatically apply any defined transformation before calling the child draw method.

Default

true

Example

// enable "automatic" transformation when the object is activated
onActivateEvent: function () {
    // reset the transformation matrix
    this.currentTransform.identity();
    // ensure the anchor point is the renderable center
    this.anchorPoint.set(0.5, 0.5);
    // enable auto transform
    this.autoTransform = true;
    ....
}

blendMode

blendMode: string

the blend mode to be applied to this renderable (see renderer setBlendMode for available blend mode)

Default

"normal"

See

  • CanvasRenderer#setBlendMode
  • WebGLRenderer#setBlendMode

body

body: Body

the renderable physic body

Example

// define a new Player Class
 class PlayerEntity extends me.Sprite {
     // constructor
     constructor(x, y, settings) {
         // call the parent constructor
         super(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, friction, and initial force to be applied
         this.body.setMaxVelocity(3, 15);
         this.body.setFriction(0.4, 0);
         this.body.force.set(3, 0);
         this.isKinematic = false;

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

     ...

}

The edges here are the direction of the nth edge of the polygon, relative to the nth point. If you want to draw a given edge from the edge value, you must first translate to the position of the starting point.

floating

If true, this renderable will be rendered using screen coordinates, as opposed to world coordinates. Use this, for example, to define UI elements.

Default

false

height

height: number

isAnimated

isAnimated: boolean

Layer contains tileset animations

isDirty

isDirty: boolean

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

Default

true

isKinematic

isKinematic: boolean

If true then physic collision and input events will not impact this renderable

Default

true

isPersistent

isPersistent: boolean

make the renderable object persistent over level changes

Default

false

layerData

layerData: any[]

mask

mask:
    | Polygon
    | Rect
    | 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.

Default

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},

scale

  • scale(x, y?): Renderable

  • scale the renderable around his anchor point. Scaling actually applies changes to the currentTransform member wich is used by the renderer to scale the object when rendering.

    Parameters

    • x: number

      a number representing the abscissa of the scaling vector.

    • Optionaly: number = x

      a number representing the ordinate of the scaling vector.

    Returns Renderable

  • Set the TMX renderer for this layer object

    Parameters
