Optionalframe: string | numberThe active state of this Game Object.
A Game Object with an active state of true is processed by the Scenes UpdateList, if added to it.
An active object is one which is having its logic and internal systems updated.
The alpha value of the Game Object, between 0 (fully transparent) and 1 (fully opaque).
This is a global value that impacts the entire Game Object. Setting it also updates
all four corner alpha values (alphaTopLeft, alphaTopRight, alphaBottomLeft,
alphaBottomRight) to the same value. The input is clamped to the range [0, 1].
The alpha value starting from the bottom-left of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object.
The alpha value starting from the bottom-right of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object.
The alpha value starting from the top-left of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object.
The alpha value starting from the top-right of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object.
The angle of this Game Object as expressed in degrees.
Phaser uses a right-hand clockwise rotation system, where 0 is right, 90 is down, 180/-180 is left and -90 is up.
If you prefer to work in radians, see the rotation property instead.
The Animation State component of this Sprite.
This component provides features to apply animations to this Sprite. It is responsible for playing, loading, queuing animations for later playback, mixing between animations and setting the current animation frame to this Sprite.
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:
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 with which blend modes are used.
If this Game Object is enabled for Arcade or Matter Physics then this property will contain a reference to a Physics Body.
A bitmask that controls if this Game Object is drawn by a Camera or not.
Not usually set directly, instead call Camera.ignore, however you can
set this property directly using the Camera.id property:
Customized WebGL render nodes of this Game Object. RenderNodes are responsible for managing the rendering process of this Game Object. A default set of RenderNodes is coded into the engine, but the renderer will check this object first to see if a custom node has been set.
A Data Manager.
It allows you to store, query and get key/value paired information specific to this Game Object.
null by default. Automatically created if you use getData or setData or setDataEnabled.
The default RenderNodes for this Game Object. RenderNodes are responsible for managing the rendering process of this Game Object. These are the nodes that are used if no custom ones are set.
RenderNodes are identified by a unique key for their role.
Common role keys include:
The depth of this Game Object within the Scene. Ensure this value is only ever set to a number data-type.
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.
The displayed height of this Game Object.
This value takes into account the scale factor.
Setting this value will adjust the Game Object's scale property.
Holds a reference to the Display List that contains this Game Object.
This is set automatically when this Game Object is added to a Scene or Layer.
You should treat this property as being read-only.
The horizontal display origin of this Game Object, expressed in pixels.
Unlike originX, which is a normalized value between 0 and 1, the display origin is the
calculated pixel offset derived from the Game Object's width multiplied by its originX value.
Setting this property updates originX accordingly.
The vertical display origin of this Game Object, expressed in pixels.
Unlike originY, which is a normalized value between 0 and 1, the display origin is the
calculated pixel offset derived from the Game Object's height multiplied by its originY value.
Setting this property updates originY accordingly.
The displayed width of this Game Object.
This value takes into account the scale factor.
Setting this value will adjust the Game Object's scale property.
The Camera used for filters. You can use this to alter the perspective of filters. It is not necessary to use this camera for ordinary rendering.
This is only available if you use the enableFilters method.
ReadonlyfiltersThe filter lists for this Game Object.
This is an object with internal and external properties.
Each list is a Phaser.GameObjects.Components.FilterList object.
This is only available if you use the enableFilters method.
Whether filterCamera should update every frame
to focus on the Game Object.
Disable this if you want to manually control the camera.
Whether the filters should focus on the context, rather than attempt to focus on the Game Object. This is enabled automatically when enabling filters on objects which don't have well-defined bounds.
This effectively sets the internal filters to render the same way as the external filters.
This is only used if filtersAutoFocus is enabled.
The "context" is the framebuffer to which the Game Object is rendered. This is usually the main framebuffer, but might be another framebuffer. It can even be several different framebuffers if the Game Object is rendered multiple times.
Whether the Filters component should always draw to a framebuffer, even if there are no active filters.
The horizontally flipped state of the Game Object.
A Game Object that is flipped horizontally will render inverted on the horizontal axis. Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.
The vertically flipped state of the Game Object.
A Game Object that is flipped vertically will render inverted on the vertical axis (i.e. upside down). Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.
The Texture Frame this Game Object is using to render with.
ReadonlyhasA property indicating that a Game Object has this component.
The native (un-scaled) height of this Game Object.
Changing this value 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 use
the displayHeight property.
This Game Object will ignore all calls made to its destroy method if this flag is set to true.
This includes calls that may come from a Group, Container or the Scene itself.
While it allows you to persist a Game Object across Scenes, please understand you are entirely
responsible for managing references to and from this Game Object.
If this Game Object is enabled for input then this property will contain an InteractiveObject instance.
Not usually set directly. Instead call GameObject.setInteractive().
A boolean flag indicating if this Game Object is being cropped or not.
You can toggle this at any time after setCrop has been called, to turn cropping on or off.
Equally, calling setCrop with no arguments will reset the crop and disable it.
ReadonlyisWhether this Game Object has been destroyed. Check this property to avoid bugs caused by calling methods on a destroyed Game Object, e.g. in a Tween or Timer.
This is a read-only property that is automatically set to true
when the Game Object is destroyed.
You should not set this property directly.
It is set before preDestroy is called or the DESTROY event is emitted.
ReadonlyisDoes this Game Object have a tint applied?
Returns true if any of the four corner tint values differ from 0xffffff,
or if the tintMode property is set to anything other than MULTIPLY.
Returns false when all four tint values are 0xffffff and the tint mode
is MULTIPLY, which is the default untinted state.
ReadonlylightingControls whether this Game Object participates in the WebGL lighting system.
When true, the object will respond to dynamic lights added via the Lights plugin,
using normal maps to calculate per-pixel diffuse lighting.
This flag is used to select the appropriate WebGL shader at render time.
The Mask this Game Object is using during render, or null if no mask has been set.
The maximum size of the base filter texture. Filters may use a larger texture after the base texture is rendered. The maximum texture size is at least 4096 in WebGL, based on the hardware. You may set this lower to save memory or prevent resizing.
The name of this Game Object. Empty by default and never populated by Phaser, this is left for developers to use.
The horizontal origin of this Game Object.
The origin maps the relationship between the size and position of the Game Object.
The default value is 0.5, meaning all Game Objects are positioned based on their center.
Setting the value to 0 means the position now relates to the left of the Game Object.
Set this value with setOrigin().
The vertical origin of this Game Object.
The origin maps the relationship between the size and position of the Game Object.
The default value is 0.5, meaning all Game Objects are positioned based on their center.
Setting the value to 0 means the position now relates to the top of the Game Object.
Set this value with setOrigin().
The parent Container of this Game Object, if it has one.
Whether any filters should be rendered on this Game Object.
This is true by default, even if there are no filters yet.
Disable this to skip filter rendering.
Use willRenderFilters() to see if there are any active filters.
The flags that are compared against RENDER_MASK to determine if this Game Object will render or not.
The bits are 0001 | 0010 | 0100 | 1000 set by the components Visible, Alpha, Transform and Texture respectively.
If those components are not used by your custom class then you can use this bitmask as you wish.
An object to store render node specific data in, to be read by the render nodes this Game Object uses.
Render nodes store their data under their own name, not their role.
The angle of this Game Object in radians.
Phaser uses a right-hand clockwise rotation system, where 0 is right, PI/2 is down, +-PI is left and -PI/2 is up.
If you prefer to work in degrees, see the angle property instead.
This is a special setter that allows you to set both the horizontal and vertical scale of this Game Object
to the same value, at the same time. When reading this value the result returned is (scaleX + scaleY) / 2.
Use of this property implies you wish the horizontal and vertical scales to be equal to each other. If this
isn't the case, use the scaleX or scaleY properties instead.
The horizontal scale of this Game Object.
The vertical scale of this Game Object.
A reference to the Scene to which this Game Object belongs.
Game Objects can only belong to one Scene.
You should consider this property as being read-only. You cannot move a Game Object to another Scene by simply changing it.
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 into 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.
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.
Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken into 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.
Configuration object controlling self-shadowing for this Game Object.
Self-shadowing causes surfaces to cast contact shadows on themselves based on
the normal map, giving the appearance of depth. It is only active when
lighting is also enabled.
If enabled is null, the value from the game config option render.selfShadow
is used instead.
This object is used to select and configure the appropriate WebGL shader at render time.
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.
The Tab Index of the Game Object. Reserved for future use by plugins and the Input Manager.
The Texture this Game Object is using to render with.
The tint value being applied to the whole of the Game Object.
Returns the value of tintTopLeft when read. When written, the same
color value is applied to all four corner tint properties (tintTopLeft,
tintTopRight, tintBottomLeft, and tintBottomRight) simultaneously.
The tint value being applied to the bottom-left vertex of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object. The value should be set as a hex number, i.e. 0xff0000 for red, or 0xff00ff for purple.
The tint value being applied to the bottom-right vertex of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object. The value should be set as a hex number, i.e. 0xff0000 for red, or 0xff00ff for purple.
The tint mode to use when applying the tint to the texture.
Available modes are:
Note that in Phaser 3, tint mode and color were set at the same time. In Phaser 4 they are separate settings.
The tint value being applied to the top-left vertex of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object. The value should be set as a hex number, i.e. 0xff0000 for red, or 0xff00ff for purple.
The tint value being applied to the top-right vertex of the Game Object. This value is interpolated from the corner to the center of the Game Object. The value should be set as a hex number, i.e. 0xff0000 for red, or 0xff00ff for purple.
A textual representation of this Game Object, i.e. sprite.
Used internally by Phaser but is available for your own custom classes to populate.
The current vertex rounding mode of this Game Object. This is used by the WebGL Renderer to determine how to round the vertex positions. It can have several values:
off - No rounding is applied.safe - Rounding is applied if the object is 'safe'.safeAuto - Rounding is applied if the object is 'safe' and the camera has roundPixels enabled.full - Rounding is always applied.fullAuto - Rounding is always applied if the camera has roundPixels enabled.A 'safe' object is one that is not rotated or scaled by any transform matrix while rendering. The effective transform is a simple translation. In such cases, rounding will affect all vertices the same way.
Using full rounding can cause vertices to wobble, because they might not be aligned to the pixel grid. Full rounding gives a janky look like PS1 games.
You can use other values if you want to create your own custom rounding modes.
The visible state of the Game Object.
An invisible Game Object will skip rendering, but will still process update logic.
The w position of this Game Object.
The native (un-scaled) width of this Game Object.
Changing this value 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 use
the displayWidth property.
The x position of this Game Object.
The y position of this Game Object.
The z position of this Game Object.
Note: The z position does not control the rendering order of 2D Game Objects. Use Phaser.GameObjects.Components.Depth#depth instead.
Static ReadonlyRENDER_The bitmask that GameObject.renderFlags is compared against to determine if the Game Object will render or not.
Adds a render step function to this Game Object's WebGL render pipeline.
The first render step in _renderSteps is run first.
It should call the next render step in the list.
This allows render steps to control the rendering flow.
The render step function to add.
Optionalindex: numberThe index in the render list to add the step to. Omit to add to the end.
This Game Object instance.
Adds this Game Object to the given Display List.
If no Display List is specified, it will default to the Display List owned by the Scene to which this Game Object belongs.
A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may move freely between them.
If this Game Object is already on another Display List when this method is called, it will first be removed from it, before being added to the new list.
You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.
If a Game Object isn't on any display list, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarily
disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.
OptionaldisplayList: Layer | DisplayListThe Display List to add to. Defaults to the Scene Display List.
This Game Object.
Adds this Game Object to the Update List belonging to the Scene.
When a Game Object is added to the Update List it will have its preUpdate method called
every game frame. This method is passed two parameters: time and delta.
If you wish to run your own logic within preUpdate then you should always call
super.preUpdate(time, delta) within it, or it may fail to process required operations,
such as Sprite animations.undefined
This Game Object.
Sets an animation, or an array of animations, to be played immediately after the current one completes or stops.
The current animation must enter a 'completed' state for this to happen, i.e. finish all of its repeats, delays, etc,
or have the stop method called directly on it.
An animation set to repeat forever will never enter a completed state.
You can chain a new animation at any point, including before the current one starts playing, during it,
or when it ends (via its animationcomplete event).
Chained animations are specific to a Game Object, meaning different Game Objects can have different chained animations without impacting the animation they're playing.
Call this method with no arguments to reset all currently chained animations.
When playing an animation on a Sprite it will first check to see if it can find a matching key locally within the Sprite. If it can, it will play the local animation. If not, it will then search the global Animation Manager and look for it there.
Optionalkey: The string-based key of the animation to play, or an Animation instance, or a PlayAnimationConfig object, or an array of them.
This Game Object.
Clears the mask that this Game Object was using.
This only works in the Canvas Renderer. In WebGL, use a Mask filter instead (see Phaser.GameObjects.Components.FilterList#addMask).
OptionaldestroyMask: booleanDestroy the mask before clearing it? Default false.
This Game Object instance.
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.
This only works in the Canvas Renderer. In WebGL, use a Mask filter instead (see Phaser.GameObjects.Components.FilterList#addMask).
Optionalgraphics: Graphics | ShapeA Graphics Game Object, or any kind of Shape Game Object. The geometry within it will be used as the mask.
This Geometry Mask that was created.
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.
OptionalfromScene: booleanTrue if this Game Object is being destroyed by the Scene, false if not. Default false.
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.
OptionalresetCursor: booleanShould the currently active Input cursor, if any, be reset to the default cursor? Default false.
This GameObject.
Enable this Game Object to have filters.
You need to call this method if you want to use the filterCamera
and filters properties. It sets up the necessary data structures.
You may disable filter rendering with the renderFilters property.
This is a WebGL only feature. It will return early if not available.undefined
undefined
Focus the filter camera.
This sets the size and position of the filter camera to match the GameObject.
This is called automatically on render if filtersAutoFocus is enabled.
This will focus on the GameObject's raw dimensions if available. If the GameObject has no dimensions, this will focus on the context: the camera belonging to the DrawingContext used to render the GameObject. Context focus occurs during rendering, as the context is not known until then.undefined
undefined
Manually override the focus of the filter camera.
This allows you to set the size and position of the filter camera manually.
It deactivates filtersAutoFocus when called.
The camera will set scroll to place the game object at the
given position within a rectangle of the given width and height.
For example, calling focusFiltersOverride(400, 200, 800, 600)
will focus the camera to place the object's center
100 pixels above the center of the camera (which is at 400x300).
Optionalx: numberThe x-coordinate of the focus point, relative to the filter size. Default is the center.
Optionaly: numberThe y-coordinate of the focus point, relative to the filter size. Default is the center.
Optionalwidth: numberThe width of the focus area. Default is the filter width.
Optionalheight: numberThe height of the focus area. Default is the filter height.
undefined
Gets the bottom-center coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.
The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers,
unless the includeParent argument is set to true.
Optionaloutput: OAn object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.
OptionalincludeParent: booleanIf this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.
The values stored in the output object.
Gets the bottom-left corner coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.
The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers,
unless the includeParent argument is set to true.
Optionaloutput: OAn object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.
OptionalincludeParent: booleanIf this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.
The values stored in the output object.
Gets the bottom-right corner coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.
The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers,
unless the includeParent argument is set to true.
Optionaloutput: OAn object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.
OptionalincludeParent: booleanIf this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.
The values stored in the output object.
Gets the axis-aligned bounding rectangle of this Game Object, regardless of origin.
The bounding rectangle is computed by retrieving all four corner positions of the Game Object (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right), applying any rotation and parent Container transforms, and then calculating the smallest axis-aligned rectangle that fully encloses all four points.
The values are stored and returned in a Rectangle, or Rectangle-like, object.
Optionaloutput: OAn object to store the values in. If not provided a new Rectangle will be created.
The values stored in the output object.
Gets the center coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.
The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers,
unless the includeParent argument is set to true.
Optionaloutput: OAn object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.
OptionalincludeParent: booleanIf this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.
The values stored in the output object.
Retrieves the value for the given key in this Game Objects Data Manager, or undefined if it doesn't exist.
You can also access values via the values object. For example, if you had a key called gold you can do either:
sprite.getData('gold');
Or access the value directly:
sprite.data.values.gold;
You can also pass in an array of keys, in which case an array of values will be returned:
sprite.getData([ 'gold', 'armor', 'health' ]);
This approach is useful for destructuring arrays in ES6.
The key of the value to retrieve, or an array of keys.
The value belonging to the given key, or an array of values, the order of which will match the input array.
Returns a reference to the underlying display list array that contains this Game Object, which will be either the Scene's Display List or the internal list belonging to its parent Container, if it has one.
If this Game Object is not on a display list or in a container, it will return null.
You should be very careful with this method, and understand that it returns a direct reference to the internal array used by the Display List. Mutating this array directly can cause all kinds of subtle and difficult to debug issues in your game.undefined
The internal Display List array of Game Objects, or null.
Returns the alpha mask the overlap math actually uses for the sprite's current frame, flip, and scale state. Lazily extracted on first call (cost: one canvas read + thresholding pass) and cached for subsequent calls until any of the cache-key inputs change.
Useful for visualization (drawing the outline, debug overlays)
— see demo 08's outline path. Hot-loop callers should still go
through overlapsPixelPerfect / overlapsTerrain which avoid
an unnecessary extra access.
Mutating the returned mask's data is allowed but pointless;
the cache holds the same reference, so any change is visible
to the next overlap call. The library does not mutate it.
Returns an array containing the display list index of either this Game Object, or if it has one, its parent Container. It then iterates up through all of the parent containers until it hits the root of the display list (which is index 0 in the returned array).
Used internally by the InputPlugin but also useful if you wish to find out the display depth of this Game Object and all of its ancestors.undefined
An array of display list position indexes.
Gets the left-center coordinate of this Game Object, regardless of origin.
The returned point is calculated in local space and does not factor in any parent Containers,
unless the includeParent argument is set to true.
Optionaloutput: OAn object to store the values in. If not provided a new Vector2 will be created.
OptionalincludeParent: booleanIf this Game Object has a parent Container, include it (and all other ancestors) in the resulting vector? Default false.

Takes the given x and y coordinates and converts them into local space for this
Game Object, taking into account parent and local transforms, and the Display Origin.
The returned Vector2 contains the translated point in its properties.
A Camera needs to be provided in order to handle modified scroll factors. If no
camera is specified, it will use the main camera from the Scene to which this
Game Object belongs.
The x position to translate.
The y position to translate.
Optionalpoint: Vector2A Vector2, or point-like object, to store the results in.
Optionalcamera: CameraThe Camera which is being tested against. If not given will use the Scene default camera.

OptionalparentMatrix: TransformMatrixA temporary matrix to hold parent values during the calculations.
The populated Transform Matrix.
Increase a value for the given key within this Game Object's Data Manager. If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is created with a value of 0 before being increased.
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.
When the value is first set, a setdata event is emitted from this Game Object.

Initializes the render nodes for this Game Object.
This method is called when the Game Object is added to the Scene. It is responsible for setting up the default render nodes this Game Object will use.
The default render nodes to set for this Game Object.
Drops the cached alpha mask. Call after mutating the underlying
texture (e.g. drawing into a RenderTexture); the next overlap
call will re-extract. Frame, flip, and scale changes invalidate
the cache automatically — this method is only needed when the
texture's pixel data itself changed.
Remove the listeners of a given event.

Returns true iff any solid pixel of this sprite overlaps a
solid pixel of other.
Dispatches to the axis-aligned fast path
(AlphaOverlap.maskMaskOverlap) when both sprites have
rotation === 0; otherwise uses the transformed variant
which back-rotates each sample point. The cached mask already
accounts for flipX/Y and scaleX/Y.
Returns true iff any solid pixel of this sprite overlaps a
solid bitmap cell of terrain.
Dispatches to AlphaOverlap.maskBitmapOverlap when the sprite
is unrotated; otherwise the transformed variant. Coordinates
are converted from scene space to the terrain's bitmap space
via terrain.originX / terrain.originY.
Start playing the given animation on this Sprite.
Animations in Phaser can either belong to the global Animation Manager, or specifically to this Sprite.
The benefit of a global animation is that multiple Sprites can all play the same animation, without having to duplicate the data. You can just create it once and then play it on any Sprite.
The following code shows how to create a global repeating animation. The animation will be created from all of the frames within the sprite sheet that was loaded with the key 'muybridge':
var config = {
key: 'run',
frames: 'muybridge',
frameRate: 15,
repeat: -1
};
// This code should be run from within a Scene:
this.anims.create(config);
However, if you wish to create an animation that is unique to this Sprite, and this Sprite alone,
you can call the Animation.create method instead. It accepts the exact same parameters as when
creating a global animation, however the resulting data is kept locally in this Sprite.
With the animation created, either globally or locally, you can now play it on this Sprite:
this.add.sprite(x, y).play('run');
Alternatively, if you wish to run it at a different frame rate, for example, you can pass a config object instead:
this.add.sprite(x, y).play({ key: 'run', frameRate: 24 });
When playing an animation on a Sprite it will first check to see if it can find a matching key locally within the Sprite. If it can, it will play the local animation. If not, it will then search the global Animation Manager and look for it there.
If you need a Sprite to be able to play both local and global animations, make sure they don't have conflicting keys.
See the documentation for the PlayAnimationConfig config object for more details about this.
Also, see the documentation in the Animation Manager for further details on creating animations.

Waits for the specified delay, in milliseconds, then starts playback of the given animation.
If the animation also has a delay value set in its config, it will be added to the delay given here.
If an animation is already running and a new animation is given to this method, it will wait for the given delay before starting the new animation.
If no animation is currently running, the given one begins after the delay.
When playing an animation on a Sprite it will first check to see if it can find a matching key locally within the Sprite. If it can, it will play the local animation. If not, it will then search the global Animation Manager and look for it there.

You can use this to ensure there are no harsh jumps between two sets of animations, i.e. going from an idle animation to a walking animation, by making them blend smoothly into each other.
If no animation is currently running, the given one will start immediately.

This Game Object.
ProtectedpreRemoves this Game Object from the Display List it is currently on.
A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may be freely removed and added back at a later stage.
You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.
If a Game Object isn't on any Display List, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarily
disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.undefined
This Game Object.
Removes this Game Object from the Scene's Update List.
When a Game Object is on the Update List, it will have its preUpdate method called
every game frame. Calling this method will remove it from the list, preventing this.
Removing a Game Object from the Update List will stop most internal functions working. For example, removing a Sprite from the Update List will prevent it from being able to run animations.undefined
This Game Object.
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.)
OptionalresetCursor: booleanShould the currently active Input cursor, if any, be reset to the default cursor? Default false.

OptionalparentMatrix: TransformMatrixThe parent matrix of the Game Object, if it has one.
OptionalrenderStep: numberThe index of this function in the Game Object's list of render processes. Used to support multiple rendering functions. Default 0.
undefined
Run a step in the render process. This is called automatically by the Render module.
In most cases, it just runs the renderWebGL function.
When _renderSteps has more than one entry,
such as when Filters are enabled for this object,
it allows those processes to defer renderWebGL
and otherwise manage the flow of rendering.
The WebGL Renderer instance to render with.

OptionalparentMatrix: TransformMatrixThe parent matrix of the Game Object, if it has one.
OptionalrenderStep: numberWhich step of the rendering process should be run? Default 0.
OptionaldisplayList: GameObject[]The display list which is currently being rendered. If not provided, it will be created with the Game Object.
OptionaldisplayListIndex: numberThe index of the Game Object within the display list. Default 0.
Move this Game Object so that it appears above the given Game Object.
This means it will render immediately after the other object in the display list.
Both objects must belong to the same display list, or parent container.
This method does not change this Game Objects depth value, it simply alters its list position.
The Game Object that this Game Object will be moved to be above.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the active property of this Game Object and returns this Game Object for further chaining.
A Game Object with its active property set to true will be updated by the Scenes UpdateList.
True if this Game Object should be set as active, false if not.
This GameObject.
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.
OptionaltopLeft: numberThe 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. Default 1.
OptionaltopRight: numberThe alpha value used for the top-right of the Game Object. WebGL only.
OptionalbottomLeft: numberThe alpha value used for the bottom-left of the Game Object. WebGL only.
OptionalbottomRight: numberThe alpha value used for the bottom-right of the Game Object. WebGL only.
This Game Object instance.
Move this Game Object so that it appears below the given Game Object.
This means it will render immediately under the other object in the display list.
Both objects must belong to the same display list, or parent container.
This method does not change this Game Objects depth value, it simply alters its list position.
The Game Object that this Game Object will be moved to be below.
This Game Object instance.
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:
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 with which blend modes are used.
The BlendMode value. Either a string, a CONST or a number.
This Game Object instance.
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 size as well as coordinates can not exceed the size of the texture frame.
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 rectangle 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.
Optionalx: number | RectangleThe x coordinate to start the crop from. Cannot be negative or exceed the Frame width. Or a Phaser.Geom.Rectangle object, in which case the rest of the arguments are ignored.
Optionaly: numberThe y coordinate to start the crop from. Cannot be negative or exceed the Frame height.
Optionalwidth: numberThe width of the crop rectangle in pixels. Cannot exceed the Frame width.
Optionalheight: numberThe height of the crop rectangle in pixels. Cannot exceed the Frame height.
This Game Object instance.
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.
The key to set the value for. Or an object of key value pairs. If an object the data argument is ignored.
Optionalvalue: anyThe value to set for the given key. If an object is provided as the key this argument is ignored.
This GameObject.
Sets the depth of this Game Object. If the value argument is not provided, the depth defaults to 0.
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.
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.
The depth of this Game Object. Ensure this value is only ever a number data-type.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the display origin of this Game Object. The difference between this and setting the origin is that you can use pixel values for setting the display origin.
Optionalx: numberThe horizontal display origin value. Default 0.
Optionaly: numberThe vertical display origin value. If not defined it will be set to the value of x. Default x.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the display (rendered) size of this Game Object in pixels.
Unlike setSize, which changes the native logical dimensions without affecting rendering,
this method adjusts the scaleX and scaleY properties so that the Game Object appears
at exactly the given pixel dimensions in-game. It is equivalent to calculating and setting
the scale manually, but more convenient when you want to work in pixel values directly.
The width of this Game Object.
The height of this Game Object.
This Game Object instance.
Set the base size of the filter camera. This is the size of the texture that internal filters will be drawn to. External filters are drawn to the size of the context (usually the game canvas).
This is typically the size of the GameObject.
It is set automatically when the Game Object is rendered
and filtersAutoFocus is enabled.
Turn off auto focus to set it manually.
Technically, larger framebuffers may be used to provide padding. This is the size of the final framebuffer used for "internal" rendering.
Base width of the filter texture.
Base height of the filter texture.
undefined
Sets the horizontal and vertical flipped state of this Game Object.
A Game Object that is flipped will render inverted on the flipped axis. Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.
The horizontal flipped state. false for no flip, or true to be flipped.
The vertical flipped state. false for no flip, or true to be flipped.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the horizontal flipped state of this Game Object.
A Game Object that is flipped horizontally will render inverted on the horizontal axis. Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.
The flipped state. false for no flip, or true to be flipped.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the vertical flipped state of this Game Object.
A Game Object that is flipped vertically will render inverted on the vertical axis. Flipping always takes place from the middle of the texture and does not impact the scale value. If this Game Object has a physics body, it will not change the body. This is a rendering toggle only.
The flipped state. false for no flip, or true to be flipped.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the frame this Game Object will use to render with.
If you pass a string or index then the Frame has to belong to the current Texture being used by this Game Object.
If you pass a Frame instance, then the Texture being used by this Game Object will also be updated.
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.
The name or index of the frame within the Texture, or a Frame instance.
OptionalupdateSize: booleanShould this call adjust the size of the Game Object? Default true.
OptionalupdateOrigin: booleanShould this call adjust the origin of the Game Object? Default true.
This Game Object instance.
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.
OptionalhitArea: anyEither 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.
Optionalcallback: HitAreaCallbackThe 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.
OptionaldropZone: booleanShould this Game Object be treated as a drop zone target? Default false.
This GameObject.
Enables or disables WebGL-based per-pixel lighting for this Game Object. When enabled, the object will respond to dynamic lights added to the scene via the Lights plugin, using a normal map for lighting calculations. Disabling lighting restores the standard unlit rendering path.
true to use lighting, or false to disable it.
This GameObject instance.
Sets the mask that this Game Object will use to render with.
The mask must have been previously created and must be a GeometryMask. This only works in the Canvas Renderer. In WebGL, use a Mask filter instead (see Phaser.GameObjects.Components.FilterList#addMask).
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.
The mask this Game Object will use when rendering.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the origin of this Game Object.
The values are given in the range 0 to 1.
Optionalx: numberThe horizontal origin value. Default 0.5.
Optionaly: numberThe vertical origin value. If not defined it will be set to the value of x. Default x.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the origin of this Game Object based on the Pivot values in its Frame.
If the Frame has a custom pivot point defined, the origin is set to match it.
If the Frame does not have a custom pivot, this method falls back to setOrigin(),
resetting the origin to the default value of 0.5 for both axes.undefined
This Game Object instance.
Sets the position of this Game Object.
Optionalx: numberThe x position of this Game Object. Default 0.
Optionaly: numberThe y position of this Game Object. If not set it will use the x value. Default x.
Optionalz: numberThe z position of this Game Object. Default 0.
Optionalw: numberThe w position of this Game Object. Default 0.
This Game Object instance.
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.
Optionalx: numberThe x position of the top-left of the random area. Default 0.
Optionaly: numberThe y position of the top-left of the random area. Default 0.
Optionalwidth: numberThe width of the random area.
Optionalheight: numberThe height of the random area.
This Game Object instance.
Sets or removes a property in the data object for a specific render node within renderNodeData.

This Game Object instance.
Sets the RenderNode for a given role.
Also sets the relevant render node data object, if specified.
If the node cannot be set, no changes are made.
The key of the role to set the render node for.
The render node to set on this Game Object. Either a string, or a RenderNode instance. If null, the render node is removed, along with its data.
OptionalrenderNodeData: objectAn object to store render node specific data in, to be read by the render nodes this Game Object uses.
OptionalcopyData: booleanShould the data be copied from the renderNodeData object? Default false.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the horizontal and vertical scroll factor of this Game Object. If only the x value is
provided, it is applied to both axes. This is a convenience method for setting scrollFactorX
and scrollFactorY in a single call.
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 into 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.
The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object.
Optionaly: numberThe vertical scroll factor of this Game Object. If not set it will use the x value. Default x.
This Game Object instance.
Configures the self-shadowing properties of this Game Object.
Self-shadowing uses the normal map to cast contact shadows on the surface itself,
giving the impression of depth and raised detail. It is only active when
lighting is also enabled on this Game Object.
Parameters that are undefined are left unchanged, allowing partial updates.
Optionalenabled: booleantrue to use self-shadowing, false to disable it, null to use the game default from config.render.selfShadow, or undefined to keep the setting.
Optionalpenumbra: numberThe penumbra value for the shadow. Lower is sharper but more jagged. Default is 0.5.
OptionaldiffuseFlatThreshold: numberThe texture brightness threshold at which the diffuse lighting will be considered flat. Range is 0-1. Default is 1/3.
This GameObject instance.
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.
The width of this Game Object.
The height of this Game Object.
This Game Object instance.
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.
Optionalframe: boolean | FrameThe frame to base the size of this Game Object on.
This Game Object instance.
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.
The state of the Game Object.
This GameObject.
Sets the texture and frame this Game Object will use to render with.
Textures are referenced by their string-based keys, as stored in the Texture Manager.
The key of the texture to be used, as stored in the Texture Manager.
Optionalframe: string | numberThe name or index of the frame within the Texture.
This Game Object instance.
Sets the tint color on this Game Object.
The tint works by taking the pixel color values from the Game Objects texture, and then combining it with 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,
tintBottomLeft and tintBottomRight to set the corner color values independently.
To remove a tint call clearTint.
The tint color is combined according to the tint mode.
By default, this is MULTIPLY.
Note that, in Phaser 3, this would also swap the tint mode if it was set
to fill. In Phaser 4, the tint mode is separate: use setTintMode.
OptionaltopLeft: numberThe 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. Default 0xffffff.
OptionaltopRight: numberThe tint being applied to the top-right of the Game Object.
OptionalbottomLeft: numberThe tint being applied to the bottom-left of the Game Object.
OptionalbottomRight: numberThe tint being applied to the bottom-right of the Game Object.
This Game Object instance.
Sets this Game Object to the back of the display list, or the back of its parent container.
Being at the back means it will render below everything else.
This method does not change this Game Objects depth value, it simply alters its list position.undefined

Sets this Game Object to be at the top of the display list, or the top of its parent container.
Being at the top means it will render on top of everything else.
This method does not change this Game Objects depth value, it simply alters its list position.undefined
This Game Object instance.
Sets the z position of this Game Object.
Note: The z position does not control the rendering order of 2D Game Objects. Use Phaser.GameObjects.Components.Depth#setDepth instead.
Optionalvalue: numberThe z position of this Game Object. Default 0.

is on that list. It is not called automatically — the Game Object must be added to the
Update List via addToUpdateList or by having a preUpdate method.
This base implementation is intentionally empty, allowing Game Objects to be used in an Object Pool without requiring any update logic.
Rest...args: any[]Any arguments that are passed to the update method.
Compares the renderMask with the renderFlags to see if this Game Object will render or not. Also checks the Game Object against the given Cameras exclusion list.
The Camera to check against this Game Object.
True if the Game Object should be rendered, otherwise false.
Checks if this Game Object should round its vertices,
based on the given Camera and the vertexRoundMode of this Game Object.
This is used by the WebGL Renderer to determine how to round the vertex positions.
You can override this method in your own custom Game Object classes to provide custom logic for vertex rounding.
The Camera to check against this Game Object.
If true, the object is only translated, not scaled or rotated.
True if the Game Object should be rounded, otherwise false.

Phaser.GameObjects.Spriteaugmented with per-pixel alpha-aware overlap checks against other PixelPerfectSprites and against a DestructibleTerrain's bitmap.Cost: extracting the alpha mask runs once per frame change (lazy, on first overlap call). Overlap is
O(overlap_area)after a constant AABB cull. For two 64×64 sprites that fully overlap that's ~4096 one-byte checks; cheap but not free, so callers that test many pairs should AABB-cull externally first.Behavior:
flipX/flipYare honored — index lookup is mirrored when sampling the mask.scaleX/scaleY) is honored via nearest-neighbor stretch of the cached mask. The cache invalidates when the scale changes, sosetScale(...)at runtime works without manualinvalidateAlphaMask()calls. Memory cost isO(scaleX × scaleY)per cached mask — fine up to 8× for typical sprite sizes; beyond that consider rendering at native size and scaling the visual GameObject in some other way.rotation) is honored via per-pixel back-rotation in the overlap loop. Unrotated sprites dispatch to the cheaper axis-aligned path; sprites withrotation !== 0use the transformedAlphaOverlapvariants which add a few muls/adds per sample. AABB-cull bounds the work to the rotated bounding box's intersection.Limitations:
Usage via the plugin factory is preferred:
