    ));

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>

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);
     }

     ...

}

currentTransform

currentTransform: Matrix2d

the renderable default transformation matrix

duration

duration: undefined | string

edges

edges: Vector2d[]

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.

fade

fade: any

fading

fading: boolean

floating

floating: boolean

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

gotolevel

gotolevel: undefined | string

id

id: any

indices

indices: number[]

a list of indices for all vertices composing this polygon

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

mask

mask:
    | Polygon
    | Rect
    | Ellipse
    | Line
    | RoundRect

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},
   {x: 44, y: 90},
   {x: 0, y: 62},
   {x: -44, y: 90},
   {x: -23, y: 57},
   {x: -47, y: 35},
   {x: -14, y: 30}
]);

name

name: string

The name of the renderable

Default

""

onVisibilityChange

onVisibilityChange: Function

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

Default

undefined

Example

this.onVisibilityChange = function(inViewport) {
    if (inViewport === true) {
        console.log("object has entered the in a camera viewport!");
    }
};

points

points: Vector2d[]

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

pos

pos: Vector2d

origin point of the Polygon

shader

shader: GLShader

(Experimental) an optional shader, to be used instead of the default built-in one, when drawing this renderable (WebGL only)

Default

undefined

triggerSettings

triggerSettings: {
    event: string;
}

type

type: any

The shape type (used internally).

updateWhenPaused

updateWhenPaused: boolean

Whether to update this object when the game is paused.

contains

  • contains(x, y): boolean

  • Returns true if the polygon contains the given point.
    (Note: it is highly recommended to first do a hit test on the corresponding
    bounding rect, as the function can be highly consuming with complex shapes)

    Parameters

    • x: number

      x coordinate or a vector point to check

    • y: number

      y coordinate

    Returns boolean

    True if the polygon contain the point, otherwise false

    Example

    if (polygon.contains(10, 10)) {
      // do something
    }
    // or
    if (polygon.contains(myVector2d)) {
      // do something
    }
  • contains(vector): boolean

  • Returns true if the polygon contains the given point.
    (Note: it is highly recommended to first do a hit test on the corresponding
    bounding rect, as the function can be highly consuming with complex shapes)

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    True if the polygon contain the point, otherwise false

    Example

    if (polygon.contains(10, 10)) {
      // do something
    }
    // or
    if (polygon.contains(myVector2d)) {
      // do something
    }

draw

  • draw(renderer, viewport?): void

  • Draw this renderable (automatically called by melonJS). All draw operations for renderable are made respectively to the position or transforms set or applied by the preDraw method. The main draw loop will first call preDraw() to prepare the context for drawing the renderable, then draw() to draw the renderable, and finally postDraw() to clear the context. If you override this method, be mindful about the drawing logic; for example if you draw a shape from the draw method, you should make sure that your draw it at the 0, 0 coordinates.

    Parameters

    Returns void

    • Renderable#postDraw

isConvex

  • isConvex(): null | boolean

  • Returns true if the vertices composing this polygon form a convex shape (vertices must be in clockwise order).

    Returns null | boolean

    true if the vertices are convex, false if not, null if not computable

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. It does not scale the object itself. For example if the renderable is an image, the image.width and image.height properties are unaltered but the currentTransform member will be changed.

    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
