Render texture

Introduction

Paste game objects or textures on dynaimc texture, built-in game object of phaser.

  • Author: Richard Davey

Usage

Add render texture object

  • Create an empty render texture object.
    var rt = scene.add.renderTexture(x, y, width, height);
    

Add render texture from JSON

var rt = scene.make.renderTexture({
    x: 0,
    y: 0,
    width: 32,
    height: 32,

    // angle: 0,
    // alpha: 1
    // flipX: true,
    // flipY: true,
    // scale : {
    //    x: 1,
    //    y: 1
    //},
    // origin: {x: 0.5, y: 0.5},

    add: true
});

Origin position

Origin position of this render texture is (0,0) (top-left)

Custom class

  • Define class
    class MyRenderTexture extends Phaser.GameObjects.RenderTexture {
        constructor(scene, x, y, width, height) {
            super(scene, x, y, width, height);
            // ...
            scene.add.existing(this);
        }
        // ...
    
        // preUpdate(time, delta) {}
    }
    
    • scene.add.existing(gameObject) : Adds an existing Game Object to this Scene.
      • If the Game Object renders, it will be added to the Display List.
      • If it has a preUpdate method, it will be added to the Update List.
  • Create instance
    var rt = new MyRenderTexture(scene, x, y, width, height);
    

Paste texture

  • Paste game object
    rt.draw(gameObject, x, y);
    // rt.draw(gameObject, x, y, alpha, tint);
    
  • gameObject : a game object, or an array of game objects
  • Paste game objects in a group
    rt.draw(group, x, y);
    // rt.draw(group, x, y, alpha, tint);
    
  • Paste game objects in a scene's display list
    rt.draw(scene.children, x, y);
    // rt.draw(scene.children, x, y, alpha, tint);
    
  • Paste texture
    rt.draw(key, x, y);
    // rt.draw(key, x, y, alpha, tint);
    
    or
    rt.drawFrame(key, frame, x, y);
    // rt.drawFrame(key, frame, x, y, alpha, tint);
    
    • key : The key of the texture to be used, as stored in the Texture Manager.

Global alpha

rt.setGlobalAlpha(alpha);
// rt.globalAlpha = alpha;

Global tint

rt.setGlobalTint(tint);
// rt.globalTint = tint;

Erase

rt.erase(gameObject, x, y);
  • gameObject : a game object, or an array of game objects

Clear

rt.clear();

Fill

rt.fill(rgb, alpha);
// rt.fill(rgb, alpha, x, y, width, height);

Set size

rt.setSize(width, height);
// rt.resize(width, height);

Save texture

Stores a copy of this Render Texture in the Texture Manager using the given key.

rt.saveTexture(key);

Calling saveTexture again will not save another copy of the same texture, it will just rename the key of the existing copy.

Internal camera

Internal camera rt.camera

  • Scroll (offset)
    rt.camera.setScroll(x, y);
    
  • Zoom (scale)
    rt.camera.setZoom(zoom);
    
  • Rotate
    rt.camera.setAngle(angle);  // angle in degrees
    

Snapshot

  • Takes a snapshot of the whole of this Render Texture.
    rt.snapshot(callback);
    // rt.snapshot(callback, type, encoderOptions);
    
  • Takes a snapshot of the given area of this Render Texture.
    rt.snapshotArea(x, y, width, height, callback);
    // rt.snapshotArea(x, y, width, height, callback, type, encoderOptions);
    
  • Takes a snapshot of the given pixel from this Render Texture.
    rt.snapshotPixel(x, y, callback);
