Methods

Inherited Variables

Defined by FlxTypedSpriteGroup

@:value(false)directAlpha:Bool = false

Whether to attempt to preserve the ratio of alpha values of group members, or set them directly through the alpha property. Defaults to false (preservation).

Available since

4.5.0

.

group:FlxTypedGroup<T>

The actual group which holds all sprites.

read onlylength:Int

The number of entries in the members array. For performance and safety you should check this variable instead of members.length unless you really know what you're doing!

maxSize:Int

The maximum capacity of this group. Default is 0, meaning no max capacity, and the group can just grow.

read onlymembers:Array<T>

The link to a group's members array.

Defined by FlxSprite

@:value(1.0)alpha:Float = 1.0

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

See also:

animation:FlxAnimationController

Class that handles adding and playing animations on this sprite.

See also:

@:value(defaultAntialiasing)antialiasing:Bool = defaultAntialiasing

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

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

The minimum angle (out of 360°) for which a new baked rotation exists. Example: 90 means there are 4 baked rotations in the spritesheet. 0 if this sprite does not have any baked rotations.

See also:

blend:BlendMode

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

clipRect:FlxRect

Clipping rectangle for this sprite. Changing the rect's properties directly doesn't have any effect, reassign the property to update it (sprite.clipRect = sprite.clipRect;). Set to null to discard graphic frame clipping.

@: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.

See also:

@:value(true)dirty:Bool = true

Set this flag to true to force the sprite to update during the draw() call. NOTE: Rarely if ever necessary, most sprite operations will flip this flag automatically.

@:value(RIGHT)facing:FlxDirectionFlags = RIGHT

Can be set to LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN to take advantage of flipped sprites and/or just track player orientation more easily.

See also:

@:value(false)flipX:Bool = false

Whether this sprite is flipped on the X axis.

@:value(false)flipY:Bool = false

Whether this sprite is flipped on the Y axis.

frame:FlxFrame

Link to current FlxFrame from loaded atlas

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

The height of the actual graphic or image being displayed (not necessarily the game object/bounding box).

framePixels:BitmapData

The current display state of the sprite including current animation frame, tint, flip etc... may be null unless useFramePixels is true.

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

The width of the actual graphic or image being displayed (not necessarily the game object/bounding box).

frames:FlxFramesCollection

Rendering variables.

read onlynumFrames:Int

The total number of frames in this image. WARNING: assumes each row in the sprite sheet is full!

read onlyoffset:FlxPoint

The position of the sprite's graphic relative to its hitbox. For example, offset.x = 10; will show the graphic 10 pixels left of the hitbox. Likely needs to be adjusted after changing a sprite's width, height or scale.

read onlyorigin:FlxPoint

WARNING: The origin of the sprite will default to its center. If you change this, the visuals and the collisions will likely be pretty out-of-sync if you do any rotation.

pixels:BitmapData

This sprite's graphic / BitmapData object. Automatically adjusts graphic size and render helpers if changed.

read onlyscale:FlxPoint

Change the size of your sprite's graphic. NOTE: The hitbox is not automatically adjusted, use updateHitbox() for that. WARNING: With FlxG.renderBlit, scaling sprites decreases rendering performance by a factor of about x10!

See also:

shader:FlxShader

GLSL shader for this sprite. Avoid changing it frequently as this is a costly operation.

Available since

4.1.0

.

@:value(false)read onlyuseColorTransform:Bool = false

Whether or not to use a ColorTransform set via setColorTransform().

@:value(true)useFramePixels:Bool = true

@:value(FlxDirectionFlags.ANY)allowCollisions:FlxDirectionFlags = FlxDirectionFlags.ANY

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!

@:value(0)angularAcceleration:Float = 0

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

@:value(0)angularDrag:Float = 0

Like drag but for spinning.

@:value(0)angularVelocity:Float = 0

Deprecated: "Use `collisionXDrag`, instead. Note the corrected spelling: `collis(i)onXDrag"

DEPRECATED Whether this sprite is dragged along with the horizontal movement of objects it collides with (makes sense for horizontally-moving platforms in platformers for example).

Apart from having a weird typo, this has been deprecated for collisionXDrag, which allows more options.

@:value(null)debugBoundingBoxColor:Null<FlxColor> = null

Overriding this will force a specific color to be used for debug rect (ignoring any of the other debug bounding box colors specified).

@:value(FlxColor.BLUE)debugBoundingBoxColorNotSolid:FlxColor = FlxColor.BLUE

Color used for the debug rect if allowCollisions == NONE.

Available since

4.2.0

.

@:value(FlxColor.GREEN)debugBoundingBoxColorPartial:FlxColor = FlxColor.GREEN

@:value(1)health:Float = 1

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

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

Bit field of flags (use with UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, etc) indicating surface contacts from the previous game loop step. 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!

@: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.

read onlycontainer:Null<FlxContainer>

The parent containing this basic, typically if you check this recursively you should reach the state

Available since

The value for the red multiplier, in the range from 0 to 1.

greenMultiplier

The value for the green multiplier, in the range from 0 to 1.

blueMultiplier

The value for the blue multiplier, in the range from 0 to 1.

alphaMultiplier

The value for the alpha transparency multiplier, in the range from 0 to 1.

redOffset

The offset value for the red color channel, in the range from -255 to 255.

greenOffset

The offset value for the green color channel, in the range from -255 to 255.

The offset for alpha transparency channel value, in the range from -255 to 255.

inlinesetFacingFlip(Direction:FlxDirectionFlags, FlipX:Bool, FlipY:Bool):Void

Set how a sprite flips when facing in a particular direction.

Parameters:

Direction

Use constants LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN. These may be combined with the bitwise OR operator. E.g. To make a sprite flip horizontally when it is facing both UP and LEFT, use setFacingFlip(LEFT | UP, true, false);

FlipX

Whether to flip the sprite on the X axis.

FlipY

Whether to flip the sprite on the Y axis.

@:value({ saveAnimations : true })@:access(flixel.animation.FlxAnimationController)setFrames(Frames:FlxFramesCollection, saveAnimations:Bool = true):FlxSprite

Sets frames and allows you to save animations in sprite's animation controller

Parameters:

Frames

Frames collection to set for this sprite.

saveAnimations

Whether to save animations in animation controller or not.

Returns:

This sprite with loaded frames

@:value({ height : 0.0, width : 0.0 })setGraphicSize(width:Float = 0.0, height:Float = 0.0):Void

Helper function to set the graphic's dimensions by using scale, allowing you to keep the current aspect ratio should one of the numbers be <= 0. It might make sense to call updateHitbox() afterwards!

Parameters:

width

How wide the graphic should be. If <= 0, and height is set, the aspect ratio will be kept.

height

How high the graphic should be. If <= 0, and width is set, the aspect ratio will be kept.

transformScreenToPixels(screenPoint:FlxPoint, ?camera:FlxCamera, ?result:FlxPoint):FlxPoint

Converts the point from screen coordinates to this sprite's pixel coordinates where (0,0) is the top left of the graphic. Factors in scale, angle, offset, origin, and scrollFactor.

Parameters:

screenPoint

The screen coordinates

camera

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

result

Optional arg for the returning point

transformWorldToPixels(worldPoint:FlxPoint, ?camera:FlxCamera, ?result:FlxPoint):FlxPoint

Converts the point from world coordinates to this sprite's pixel coordinates where (0,0) is the top left of the graphic. Factors in scale, angle, offset, origin, and scrollFactor.

Parameters:

worldPoint

The world coordinates.

camera

The camera, used for scrollFactor. If null, FlxG.camera is used.

result

Optional arg for the returning point

transformWorldToPixelsSimple(worldPoint:FlxPoint, ?result:FlxPoint):FlxPoint

Converts the point from world coordinates to this sprite's pixel coordinates where (0,0) is the top left of the graphic. Same as worldToPixels but never uses a camera, therefore scrollFactor is ignored

Parameters:

worldPoint

The world coordinates.

result

Optional arg for the returning point

updateFramePixels():BitmapData

Retrieves the BitmapData of the current FlxFrame. Updates framePixels.

updateHitbox():Void

Updates the sprite's hitbox (width, height, offset) according to the current scale. Also calls centerOrigin().

Defined by FlxObject

drawDebugOnCamera(camera:FlxCamera):Void

Override this function to draw custom "debug mode" graphics to the specified camera while the debugger's drawDebug mode is toggled on.

Parameters:

Camera

Which camera to draw the debug visuals to.

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.

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.

@: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 or FlxGroup. If the group has a LOT of things in it, it might be faster to use FlxG.overlap(). WARNING: Currently tilemaps do NOT support screen space overlap checks!

Parameters:

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, it 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, it will just grab the first global camera.

Returns:

Whether or not the two objects overlap.

@: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

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.
