class FlxAsyncLoop

package flixel.addons.util

extends FlxBasic

Special class for asynchonously performing a loop.

Constructor

@:value({ IterationsPerUpdate : 100 })new(Iterations:Int, Callback:() ‑> Void, IterationsPerUpdate:Int = 100)

Creates an instance of the FlxAsyncLoop class, used to do a loop while still allowing update() to get called and the screen to refresh.

Parameters:

Iterations

How many total times should it loop

Callback

The function that should be called each loop

IterationsPerUpdate

Optional: how many loops before we allow an update() - defaults to 100.

Variables

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

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

Methods

start():Void

Start the loop (if it's not already started or finished)

Inherited Variables

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

.

@:value(true)exists:Bool = true

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

@:value(true)visible:Bool = true

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

Inherited Methods

Defined by FlxBasic

draw():Void

Override this function to control how the object is drawn. Doing so is rarely necessary, but can be very useful.

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().

toString():String
