Methods

inTileRange(TileX:Float, TileY:Float):Bool

@:value({ MaxTilesToCheck : -1 })rayCast(Start:FlxPoint, Direction:FlxPoint, ?Result:FlxPoint, ?ResultInTiles:FlxPoint, MaxTilesToCheck:Int = -1):Bool

Casts a ray from the start point until it hits either a filled tile, or the edge of the tilemap

If the starting point is outside the bounding box of the tilemap, it will not cast the ray, and place the end point at the start point.

Warning: If your ray is completely horizontal or vertical, make sure your x or y values are exactly zero. Otherwise you may suffer the wrath of floating point rounding error!

Algorithm based on http://www.metanetsoftware.com/technique/tutorialB.html http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~amana/research/grid.pdf http://www.flipcode.com/archives/Raytracing_Topics_Techniques-Part_4_Spatial_Subdivisions.shtml

Parameters:

Start

The starting point of the ray

Direction

The direction to shoot the ray. Does not need to be normalized

Result

Where the resulting point is stored, in (x,y) coordinates

ResultInTiles

A point containing the tile that was hit, in tile coordinates (optional)

MaxTilesToCheck

The maximum number of tiles you want the ray to pass. -1 means go across the entire tilemap. Only change this if you know what you're doing!

Returns:

True if hit a filled tile, false if it hit the end of the tilemap

Inherited Variables

Defined by FlxTypedTilemap

@:value(1.0)alpha:Float = 1.0

Set alpha to a number between 0 and 1 to change the opacity of the sprite.

@:value(FlxSprite.defaultAntialiasing)antialiasing:Bool = FlxSprite.defaultAntialiasing

Controls whether the object is smoothed when rotated, affects performance.

Available since

4.1.0

.

See also:

  • FlxSprite.defaultAntialiasing

@:value(null)blend:BlendMode = null

Blending modes, just like Photoshop or whatever, e.g. "multiply", "screen", etc.

@:value(0xffffff)color:FlxColor = 0xffffff

Tints the whole sprite to a color (0xRRGGBB format) - similar to OpenGL vertex colors. You can use 0xAARRGGBB colors, but the alpha value will simply be ignored. To change the opacity use alpha.

@:value(new ColorTransform())read onlycolorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform()

@:value(null)framePadding:Null<Int> = null

Eliminates tearing on tilemaps by extruding each tile frame's edge out by the specified number of pixels. Ignored if <= 0. If null, defaultFramePadding is used

Note: Changing this only affects future loadMap calls.

Available since

5.4.0

.

  • FlxTypedTilemap.defaultFramePadding

frames:FlxFramesCollection

Rendering variables.

@:value(FlxPoint.get())read onlyoffset:FlxPoint = FlxPoint.get()

Use to offset the drawing position of the tilemap, just like FlxSprite.

read onlyscale:FlxPoint

Changes the size of this tilemap. Default is (1, 1). Anything other than the default is very slow with blitting!

read onlyscaledHeight:Float

The scaled height of the entire map.

@:value(0)read onlyscaledTileHeight:Float = 0

The scaled height of a single tile.

@:value(0)read onlyscaledTileWidth:Float = 0

The scaled width of a single tile.

read onlyscaledWidth:Float

The scaled width of the entire map.

shader:FlxShader

GLSL shader for this tilemap. Only works with OpenFL Next or WebGL. Avoid changing it frequently as this is a costly operation.

Available since

4.1.0

.

@:value(0)read onlytileHeight:Int = 0

The unscaled height of a single tile.

@:value(0)read onlytileWidth:Int = 0

The unscaled width of a single tile.

@:value(OFF)auto:FlxTilemapAutoTiling = OFF

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

Bit field of flags (use with UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, etc) indicating collision directions. Use bitwise operators to check the values stored here. Useful for things like one-way platforms (e.g. allowCollisions = UP;). The accessor "solid" just flips this variable between NONE and ANY.

@:value(0)angle:Float = 0

Set the angle (in degrees) of a sprite to rotate it. WARNING: rotating sprites decreases their rendering performance by a factor of ~10x when using blitting!

How fast the spin speed should change (in degrees per second).

@:value(0)angularDrag:Float = 0

Like drag but for spinning.

.

@:value(NEVER)collisionYDrag:CollisionDragType = NEVER

Whether this sprite is dragged along with the vertical movement of objects it collides with (for sticking to vertically-moving platforms in platformers for example). Use values IMMOVABLE, ALWAYS, HEAVIER or NEVER

Available since

4.2.0

.

@:value(FlxColor.RED)debugBoundingBoxColorSolid:FlxColor = FlxColor.RED

Color used for the debug rect if allowCollisions == ANY.

.

read onlydrag:FlxPoint

This isn't drag exactly, more like deceleration that is only applied when acceleration is not affecting the sprite.

@:value(0)elasticity:Float = 0

@:value(1)health:Float = 1

Handy for storing health percentage or armor points or whatever.

@:isVarheight:Float

The height of this object's hitbox. For sprites, use offset to control the hitbox position.

Setting this to true will prevent the object's bounding box from appearing when FlxG.debugger.drawDebug is true.

@:value(false)immovable:Bool = false

Whether an object will move/alter position after a collision.

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

The virtual mass of the object. Default value is 1. Currently only used with elasticity during collision resolution. Change at your own risk; effects seem crazy unpredictable so far!

@:value(10000)maxAngular:Float = 10000

Use in conjunction with angularAcceleration for fluid spin speed control.

read onlymaxVelocity:FlxPoint

If you are using acceleration, you can use maxVelocity with it to cap the speed automatically (very useful!).

@:value(defaultMoves)moves:Bool = defaultMoves

Set this to false if you want to skip the automatic motion/movement stuff (see updateMotion()). FlxObject and FlxSprite default to true. FlxText, FlxTileblock and FlxTilemap default to false.

@:value(null)path:FlxPath = null

The path this object follows. Not initialized by default. Assign a new FlxPath() object and start() it if you want to this object to follow a path. Set path to null again to stop following the path. See flixel.util.FlxPath for more info and usage examples.

@: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>

Whether or not the coordinates should be rounded during rendering. Does not affect copyPixels(), which can only render on whole pixels. Defaults to the camera's global pixelPerfectRender value, but overrides that value if not equal to null.

read onlyscrollFactor:FlxPoint

Controls how much this object is affected by camera scrolling. 0 = no movement (e.g. a background layer), 1 = same movement speed as the foreground. Default value is (1,1), except for UI elements like FlxButton where it's (0,0).

solid:Bool

Whether the object collides or not. For more control over what directions the object will collide from, use collision constants (like LEFT, FLOOR, etc) to set the value of allowCollisions directly.

@: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!

read onlyvelocity:FlxPoint

The basic speed of this object (in pixels per second).

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

@:value(true)active:Bool = true

Controls whether update() is automatically called by FlxState/FlxGroup.

@:value(true)alive:Bool = true

Useful state for many game objects - "dead" (!alive) vs alive. kill() and revive() both flip this switch (along with exists, but you can override that).

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.

@:value(true)exists:Bool = true

Controls whether update() and draw() are automatically called by FlxState/FlxGroup.

@:value(true)visible:Bool = true

isOnScreen(?camera:FlxCamera):Bool

Check and see if this object is currently on screen. Differs from FlxObject's implementation in that it takes the actual graphic into account, not just the hitbox or bounding box or whatever.

Parameters:

camera

Specify which game camera you want. If null, it will just grab the first global camera.

Returns:

Whether the object is on screen or not.

@:value({ flipCallbackParams : false })overlapsWithCallback(object:FlxObject, ?callback:(FlxObject, FlxObject) ‑> Bool, flipCallbackParams:Bool = false, ?position:FlxPoint):Bool

The FlxObject you are checking for overlaps against.

callback

An optional function that takes the form myCallback(a:FlxObject, b:FlxObject), where a is a FlxTile, and b is the given object paaram.

flipCallbackParams

Used to preserve A-B list ordering from FlxObject.separate(), returns the FlxTile object as the second parameter instead.

position

Optional, specify a custom position for the tilemap (used for overlapsAt).

Returns:

Whether there were overlaps, and the result of the callback, if one was specified.

@:value({ resolution : 1 })rayStep(start:FlxPoint, end:FlxPoint, ?result:FlxPoint, resolution:Float = 1):Bool

Shoots a ray from the start point to the end point. If/when it passes through a tile, it stores that point and returns false. This method checks at steps and can miss, for better results use ray()

Parameters:

start

The world coordinates of the start of the ray.

end

The world coordinates of the end of the ray.

result

Optional result vector, to avoid creating a new instance to be returned.

resolution

Defaults to 1, meaning check every tile or so. Higher means more checks! Only returned if the line enters the rect.

Default is 1. Scale of 2 means each pixel forms a 2x2 block of tiles, and so on.

colorMap

An array of color values (alpha values are ignored) in the order they're intended to be assigned as indices

tileGraphic

All the tiles you want to use, arranged in a strip corresponding to the numbers in MapData.

tileWidth

The width of your tiles (e.g. 8) - defaults to height of the tile graphic if unspecified.

tileHeight

The height of your tiles (e.g. 8) - defaults to width if unspecified.

autoTile

Whether to load the map using an automatic tile placement algorithm (requires 16 tiles!). Setting this to either AUTO or ALT will override any values you put for StartingIndex, DrawIndex, or CollideIndex.

startingIndex

Used to sort of insert empty tiles in front of the provided graphic. Default is 0, usually safest ot leave it at that. Ignored if AutoTile is set.

drawIndex

Initializes all tile objects equal to and after this index as visible. Default value is 1. Ignored if AutoTile is set.

collideIndex

Initializes all tile objects equal to and after this index as allowCollisions = ANY. Default value is 1. Ignored if AutoTile is set. Can override and customize per-tile-type collision behavior using setTileProperties().

Returns:

A reference to this instance of FlxTilemap, for chaining as usual :)

@:value({ inScreenSpace : false })@:access(flixel.group.FlxTypedGroup)overlaps(objectOrGroup:FlxBasic, inScreenSpace:Bool = false, ?camera:FlxCamera):Bool

Checks to see if some FlxObject overlaps this FlxObject object in world space. If the group has a LOT of things in it, it might be faster to use FlxG.overlaps(). WARNING: Currently tilemaps do NOT support screen space overlap checks!

Parameters:

object

The object being tested.

inScreenSpace

Whether to take scroll factors into account when checking for overlap.

camera

Specify which game camera you want. If null, getScreenPosition() will just grab the first global camera.

Returns:

Whether or not the two objects overlap.

@:value({ inScreenSpace : false })@:access(flixel.group.FlxTypedGroup)overlapsAt(x:Float, y:Float, objectOrGroup:FlxBasic, inScreenSpace:Bool = false, ?camera:FlxCamera):Bool

Checks to see if this FlxObject were located at the given position, would it overlap the FlxObject or FlxGroup? This is distinct from overlapsPoint(), which just checks that point, rather than taking the object's size into account. WARNING: Currently tilemaps do NOT support screen space overlap checks!

Parameters:

x

The X position you want to check. Pretends this object (the caller, not the parameter) is located here.

y

The Y position you want to check. Pretends this object (the caller, not the parameter) is located here.

objectOrGroup

The object or group being tested.

inScreenSpace

Whether to take scroll factors into account when checking for overlap. Default is false, or "only compare in world space."

camera

Specify which game camera you want. If null getScreenPosition() will just grab the first global camera.

Returns:

Whether or not the two objects overlap.

@:value({ inScreenSpace : false })overlapsPoint(worldPoint:FlxPoint, inScreenSpace:Bool = false, ?camera:FlxCamera):Bool

Checks to see if a point in 2D world space overlaps this FlxObject object.

Parameters:

worldPoint

The point in world space you want to check.

inScreenSpace

Whether to take scroll factors into account when checking for overlap.

camera

Specify which game camera you want. If null getScreenPosition() will just grab the first global camera.

Returns:

Whether or not the point overlaps this object.

setCustomTileMappings(mappings:Array<Int>, ?randomIndices:Array<Int>, ?randomChoices:Array<Array<Int>>, ?randomLambda:() ‑> Float):Void

Set custom tile mapping and/or randomization rules prior to loading. This MUST be called BEFORE loadMap(). WARNING: Using this will cause your maps to take longer to load. Be careful using this in very large tilemaps.

Parameters:

mappings

Array of ints for remapping tiles. Ex: [7,4,12] means "0-->7, 1-->4, 2-->12"

randomIndices

Array of ints indicating which tile indices should be randomized. Ex: [7,4,12] means "replace tile index of 7, 4, or 12 with a randomized value"

randomChoices

A list of int-arrays that serve as the corresponding choices to randomly choose from. Ex: indices = [7,4], choices = [[1,2],[3,4,5]], 7 will be replaced by either 1 or 2, 4 will be replaced by 3, 4, or 5.

randomLambda

A custom randomizer function, should return value between 0.0 and 1.0. Initialize your random seed before passing this in! If not defined, will default to unseeded Math.random() calls.

@: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.

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.

toString():String

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

update(elapsed:Float):Void

Override this function to update your class's position and appearance. This is where most of your game rules and behavioral code will go.

Defined by FlxBasic

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().
