Set this flag to use one of the 16-tile binary auto-tile algorithms (OFF, AUTO, or ALT).

customTileRemap:Array<Int>

Set this to create your own image index remapper, so you can create your own tile layouts. Mostly useful in combination with the auto-tilers.

Normally, each tile's value in _data corresponds to the index of a tile frame in the tilesheet. With this active, each value in _data is a lookup value to that index in customTileRemap.

Example: customTileRemap = [10,9,8,7,6] means: 0=10, 1=9, 2=8, 3=7, 4=6

read onlylast:FlxPoint

Important variable for collision processing. By default this value is set automatically during at the start of update().

@:value(1)mass:Float = 1

@:value(true)pixelPerfectPosition:Bool = true

Whether or not the position of this object should be rounded before any draw() or collision checking.

pixelPerfectRender:Null<Bool>

@:value(FlxDirectionFlags.NONE)touching:FlxDirectionFlags = FlxDirectionFlags.NONE

Bit field of flags (use with UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, etc) indicating surface contacts. Use bitwise operators to check the values stored here, or use isTouching(), justTouched(), etc. You can even use them broadly as boolean values if you're feeling saucy!

camera:FlxCamera

Gets or sets the first camera of this object.

cameras:Array<FlxCamera>

This determines on which FlxCameras this object will be drawn. If it is null / has not been set, it uses the list of default draw targets, which is controlled via FlxG.camera.setDefaultDrawTarget as well as the DefaultDrawTarget argument of FlxG.camera.add.

Whether or not the tile was actually changed.

@:value({ updateGraphics : true })setTileByIndex(index:Int, tile:Int, updateGraphics:Bool = true):Bool

Change the data and graphic of a tile in the tilemap.

Parameters:

index

The slot in the data array (Y * widthInTiles + X) where this tile is stored.

tile

The new integer data you wish to inject.

updateGraphics

Whether the graphical representation of this tile should change.

Returns:

Whether or not the tile was actually changed.

@:value({ range : 1, allowCollisions : ANY })setTileProperties(tile:Int, allowCollisions:FlxDirectionFlags = ANY, ?callback:(FlxObject, FlxObject) ‑> Void, ?callbackFilter:Class<FlxObject>, range:Int = 1):Void

Adjust collision settings and/or bind a callback function to a range of tiles. This callback function, if present, is triggered by calls to overlap() or overlapsWithCallback().

Parameters:

tile

The tile or tiles you want to adjust.

allowCollisions

Modify the tile or tiles to only allow collisions from certain directions, use FlxObject constants NONE, ANY, LEFT, RIGHT, etc. Default is "ANY".

callback

The function to trigger, e.g. lavaCallback(Tile:FlxObject, Object:FlxObject).

callbackFilter

If you only want the callback to go off for certain classes or objects based on a certain class, set that class here.

range

If you want this callback to work for a bunch of different tiles, input the range here. Default value is 1.

getMidpoint(?point:FlxPoint):FlxPoint

Retrieve the midpoint of this object in world coordinates.

Parameters:

point

Allows you to pass in an existing FlxPoint object if you're so inclined. Otherwise a new one is created.

Returns:

A FlxPoint object containing the midpoint of this object in world coordinates.

getPosition(?result:FlxPoint):FlxPoint

Returns the world position of this object.

Parameters:

result

Optional arg for the returning point.

Returns:

The world position of this object.

getRotatedBounds(?newRect:FlxRect):FlxRect

Calculates the smallest globally aligned bounding box that encompasses this object's width and height, at its current rotation. Note, if called on a FlxSprite, the origin is used, but scale and offset are ignored. Use getScreenBounds to use these properties.

Parameters:

newRect

The optional output FlxRect to be returned, if null, a new one is created.

Returns:

A globally aligned FlxRect that fully contains the input object's width and height.

getScreenPosition(?result:FlxPoint, ?camera:FlxCamera):FlxPoint

Returns the screen position of this object.

Parameters:

result

Optional arg for the returning point

camera

The desired "screen" coordinate space. If null, FlxG.camera is used.

Returns:

The screen position of this object.

hurt(damage:Float):Void

Deprecated: "object.health is being removed in version 6.0.0"

Reduces the health variable of this object by the amount specified in Damage. Calls kill() if health drops to or below zero.

Parameters:

Damage

How much health to take away (use a negative number to give a health bonus).

inlineinWorldBounds():Bool

Check and see if this object is currently within the world bounds - useful for killing objects that get too far away.

Returns:

Whether the object is within the world bounds or not.

isPixelPerfectRender(?camera:FlxCamera):Bool

Check if object is rendered pixel perfect on a specific camera.

inlineisTouching(direction:FlxDirectionFlags):Bool

Handy function for checking if this object is touching a particular surface. Note: These flags are set from FlxG.collide calls, and get reset in super.update().

Parameters:

direction

Any of the collision flags (e.g. LEFT, FLOOR, etc).

Returns:

Whether the object is touching an object in (any of) the specified direction(s) this frame.

inlinejustTouched(direction:FlxDirectionFlags):Bool

Handy function for checking if this object is just landed on a particular surface. Note: These flags are set from FlxG.collide calls, and get reset in super.update().

Parameters:

direction

Any of the collision flags (e.g. LEFT, FLOOR, etc).

Returns:

Whether the object just landed on (any of) the specified surface(s) this frame.

reset(x:Float, y:Float):Void

Handy function for reviving game objects. Resets their existence flags and position.

Parameters:

x

The new X position of this object.

y

The new Y position of this object.

@:value({ axes : XY })inlinescreenCenter(axes:FlxAxes = XY):FlxObject

Centers this FlxObject on the screen, either by the x axis, y axis, or both.

Parameters:

axes

On what axes to center the object (e.g. X, Y, XY) - default is both.

Returns:

This FlxObject for chaining

@:value({ y : 0.0, x : 0.0 })setPosition(x:Float = 0.0, y:Float = 0.0):Void

Helper function to set the coordinates of this object. Handy since it only requires one line of code.

Parameters:

x

The new x position

y

The new y position

setSize(width:Float, height:Float):Void

Shortcut for setting both width and Height.

Parameters:

width

The new hitbox width.

height

The new hitbox height.

toString():String

Convert object to readable string name. Useful for debugging, save games, etc.

Defined by FlxBasic

getCameras():Array<FlxCamera>

The cameras that will draw this. Use this.cameras to set specific cameras for this object, otherwise the container's cameras are used, or the container's container and so on. If there is no container, say, if this is inside FlxGroups rather than a FlxContainer then the default draw cameras are returned.

kill():Void

Handy function for "killing" game objects. Use reset() to revive them. Default behavior is to flag them as nonexistent AND dead. However, if you want the "corpse" to remain in the game, like to animate an effect or whatever, you should override this, setting only alive to false, and leaving exists true.

revive():Void

Handy function for bringing game objects "back to life". Just sets alive and exists back to true. In practice, this function is most often called by FlxObject#reset().
