Trimmed-down button, invisible click area, only responds to onUP

Constructor

@:value({ Height : 20, Width : 80, Y : 0, X : 0 })new(X:Float = 0, Y:Float = 0, Width:Float = 80, Height:Float = 20, ?OnUp:() ‑> Void)

Creates a new FlxClickArea object and a callback function on the UI thread.

Parameters:

X

The X position of the button.

Y

The Y position of the button.

Width

Width of the area

Height

Height of the area

OnUp

The function to call whenever the button is clicked.

Variables

status:Int

Shows the current state of the button, either NORMAL, HIGHLIGHT or PRESSED

onUp:() ‑> Void

This function is called when the button is released. We recommend assigning your main button behavior to this function via the FlxClickArea constructor.

Methods

destroy():Void

Called by the game state when state is changed (if this object belongs to the state)

update(elapsed:Float):Void

Called by the game loop automatically, handles mouseover and click detection.

Inherited Variables

Defined by FlxObject

read onlyacceleration:FlxPoint

How fast the speed of this object is changing (in pixels per second). Useful for smooth movement and gravity.

@: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

This is how fast you want this sprite to spin (in degrees per second).

@:value(IMMOVABLE)collisionXDrag:CollisionDragType = IMMOVABLE

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). Use values IMMOVABLE, ALWAYS, HEAVIER or NEVER

Available since

4.11.0

.

@: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

4.11.0

.

collisonXDrag:Bool

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

Color used for the debug rect if this object collides partially (immovable in the case of FlxObject, or allowCollisions not equal to ANY or NONE in the case of tiles in FlxTilemap).

Available since

4.2.0

.

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

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

Available since

4.2.0

.

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

The bounciness of this object. Only affects collisions. Default value is 0, or "not bouncy at all."

@: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.

@:value(false)ignoreDrawDebug:Bool = false

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!

@:isVarwidth:Float

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

@:value(0)x:Float = 0

X position of the upper left corner of this object in world space.

@:value(0)y:Float = 0

Y position of the upper left corner of this object in world space.

Defined by FlxBasic

@:value(idEnumerator++)ID:Int = idEnumerator++

A unique ID starting from 0 and increasing by 1 for each subsequent FlxBasic that is created.

@: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

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.

The new x position

y

The new y position

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

Shortcut for setting both width and Height.

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().
