Quick Phaser Editor scripts

This project contains a collection of scripts to use with a Phaser Editor project. The scripts cover different areas of a game development, like animations, timer, random functions, audio, camera, and others. We name this "Quick" because it is focused on provide scripts that help the user to build simple behaviors in a faster way. We think this library is more suitable to prototype projects or for using in specific areas of the game, like UI navigation.

This library is in active development and experimental.

Installing (NPM)

Install this package in your game:

npm install @phaserjs/editor-scripts-quick

Also, you should add this package to the phasereditor2d.config.json file in your project, in the scripts section:

{
    "scripts": [
        "@phaserjs/editor-scripts-base",
        "@phaserjs/editor-scripts-quick"
        ]
}

As you can see, this library depends on the @phaserjs/editor-scripts-base library, that is usually installed in the project templates.

Installing (vanilla JS)

• Get the files in the browser folder and copy them into your JavaScript project. It includes Phaser Editor files and JavaScript files.

Note: Since this project has a dependency on the @phaserjs/editor-scripts-base library, the generated phaserjs_editor_scripts_quick folder must be placed next to the phaserjs_editor_scripts_base folder in order for the relative imports to resolve properly.

Summary

The scripts split in groups:

• Core
• Arcade
• Animations
• Audio
• Camera
• Random
• Timer

Each group contains script nodes and user components. The script nodes can be classified in Actions and Events.

An Action script performs that, an action, a call to a method, like destroying an object, or shaking the camera, or playing a sound, or iterate the children nodes and execute them. An Event is a script that under certain circumstances executes it's children nodes, which are action scripts. The common events are input-related events, like "pointer down", or "key pressed". If you need to execute an action just right away, then you can use the "on awake event" to trigger the action.

Core Group

User components

This package provides a couple of general-purpose user components.

• Assignment Operator - to specify an operator (=, +=, or =) in the context of an assignment action.

Base scripts

Contains basic/abstract functionality. Often, you will create prefab variants of them (extend them).

• Sprite Base Script - base prefab for script nodes accessing sprite objects.
• Root Base Script - a script node that registers itself into the game object and can be used as a container of other scripts.

Event scripts

These scripts listen to certain events. When the event is emitted, then executes the children, which are actions.

• On General Event - registers to the given eventEmitter and listens to the given eventName event.
• On Awake Event - listens to the scene-awake event of the scene.
• On Pointer Down Event - listens to the pointerdown event of the game object.

Action scripts

Actions are scripts that are executed manually or by other nodes, like triggers or other actions.

• Callback Action - executes the given callback expression.
• Start Scene Action - starts the given sceneKey scene.
• Exec Action - executes the given targetAction.
• Emit Event Action - the given eventEmitter emits the given eventName.
• Alert Action - shows the browser's alert dialog, with the given message.
• Console Log Action - logs the given message to the browser's console.
• Destroy Action - destroys the game object.
• Add To Parent Action - adds the game object to the given parent.
• Exec Random Action - executes a random child node.
• Exec Children Action - executes all children nodes.
• Play Sprite Animation - plays the given sprite animation.
• Set Angle Action - sets the angle to the game object.
• Set Scale X/Y Action - set the X or Y of the game object's scale.
• Set X/Y Action - set the scale X/Y of the game object's position.
• Set Flip Action - flips the game object vertically or horizontally.
• Spawn Object Action - spawns an object in the world.

Assignment Operator component

There are script actions about to set a value to the game object. Like the case of the Set X Action. With the Assignment Operator, you can specify the operator to use in the assignment: =, +=, or *=.

Sprite Base Script

A base script for all the scripts accessing sprite objects. It just overrides the gameObject property and sets its type to Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite. This helps IDE auto-completion and type-checking.

Root Base Script

A base script that you can use to register the script node into the game object. In this way you can access the scripts associated to a game object.

When you create a RootScript, it registers itself to the game object in this way:

gameObject["RootScript__scripts"] = this;

You can use the key parameter to register the root script node using another attribute. If the key parameter is "anotherScripts", then it registers the root node like this:

gameObject["RootScript__anotherScripts"] = this;

The RootScript class contains utility methods for accessing the root script of a game object.

The static getRoot() method can be used for getting the root script:

const script = RootScript.getRoot(someGameObject);
const otherScript = RootScript.getRoot(someGameObject, "anotherScripts");

The static hasRoot() method tells if the game object is a root script:

if (RootScript.hasRoot(gameObject, "myScripts")) {
    ....
}

The static getChildren() method returns the children of the root script:

const children = RootScript.getChildren(gameObject, "myScripts");

You can create variants of the RootScript and use different keys.

On General Event

An event script node. It registers to the given eventEmitter and listens to the given `eventName``. When the event is fired, it executes the children's action nodes.

You can create handy prefab variants for different events, like the On Pointer Down Event prefab.

You can select an eventEmitter from the following list:

• game.events
• scene.events
• scene.loader
• scene.input
• scene.input.keyboard
• scene.anims
• gameObject (by default)

OnPointerDownScript

An event script. It is a prefab variant of the On General Event node. It listens to the pointerdown event of the game object and executes the children's action nodes.

If the game object's input is not set when the scene "awakes", then this script calls the gameObject.setInteractive() method.

Callback Action

An action script. It executes the given callback expression. You can use this script for executing custom methods from your prefabs or scenes.

Start Scene Action

An action script. It starts the given sceneKey scene.

Exec Action

An action script. It executes the given targetAction. You can use this script for executing an action node from the script tree.

For example, let's say you have a JumpAction for jumping a character. But you want to call this action when different events are fired:

• When you click a jump button.
• When you press the SPACE key.
• When you press the UP button of an external gamepad.

So, you can use different ExecActionScript nodes in different contexts, but referencing the same JumpAction node.

Emit Event Action

An action script. It calls the emit method of the given eventEmitter with the given eventName. As an argument of the event, it uses the argument received in the execute() method.

Like in the OnEventScript, you can select an eventEmitter from a list:

• game.events
• scene.events
• scene.loader
• scene.input
• scene.input.keyboard
• scene.anims
• gameObject (by default)

Alert Action

An action script that shows the given message in the browser's Alert dialog.

Console Log Action

An action script that logs the given message in the browser's console.

Destroy Action

An action script that destroys the game object.

Add To Parent Action

This action allows the Action Target Config component.

Set Scale X/Y Action

An action to set the given X or Y to the game object.

This action allows the Action Target Config component.

Set Flip Action

An action to set flip the game object. It looks into the Flip Vertical and Flip Horizontal properties.

This action allows the Action Target Config component.

Spawn Object Action

This action creates an instance of the given Object Prefab and adds it to the world. If the Spawn In Parent Position parameter is checked, then it sets the position of the new object to the same position as the script's game object.

Finally, it executes the children nodes and passes the new object as the first argument.

This action allows the Action Target Config component.

Arcade Group

This library provides a couple of actions and events about the Arcade Physics system in Phaser. As a reminder, an action is executed by an event script or another action.

The events:

• On World Bounds Collide Event - Is fired when an object collides with the world bounds.

The actions:

• Set Velocity Action - Sets the velocity of the script's game object.
• Set X Velocity Action - Sets the velocity's X value to the script's game object.
• Set Y Velocity Action - Sets the velocity's Y value to the script's game object.
• Get GameObject From Body Action - Gets the game object for the given physics body.
• Make Object Collider Action - Creates a physics collider with the game object.
• Set Body Enable Action - To enable/disable physics in the game object.
• Start Flip With Velocity Action - Starts flipping the game object heading to the velocity vector.
• Start Follow Pointer Action - Starts moving the game object toward the pointer position.
• If Body Touching - A conditional action to test if the body touching state.

The base classes:

• Base Arcade Object Script - A base class for Arcade-related scripts (prefab variants).

On World Collide Event

Class: OnWorldBoundsCollideEventScript

This script listens to the worldbounds event. When the event is fired, it executes the children's scripts.

The event is fired only for objects with the body's onWorldBounds parameter set to true.

You can configure the sides of the world this event listens to, with the UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT parameters.

Set Velocity Action

Get Game Object From Body Action

This action gets the game object from the given body. The body is passed to this action in the first argument, and this action passes, in the first argument, the associated game object to the children. You can combine this action with the On World Bounds Collide Event event.

If Body Touching

This action tests the game object body.touching state. If it is touching, it executes the actions of the Then actions node, else, it executes the actions of the Else actions node.

This action provides the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom boolean parameters. If any of these parameters is true and the body touching state of the same side is true, then we say the object is touching and then execute the Then actions.

This action allows the Action Target component.

Make Object Collider Action

This action creates a collider with the game object and the given Collide With object. If you check the Overlap Only parameter, then it uses an overlap instead of a collide method.

When there is a collision, this action executes the children nodes and passes as argument the collision event arguments.

This action allows the Action Target component.

Set Body Enable Action

This action updates the body's enable state with the Enable parameter's value.

This action allows the Action Target component.

Start Flip with Velocity Action

This action starts monitoring the game object velocity vector and change the flip state of the game object.

By default, it assumes the object is facing left and top in its initial position. You can change it with the Facing Left and Facing Right parameters.

This action allows the Action Target component.

Start Follow Pointer Action

This action starts monitoring the pointer and moves the game object towards the pointer's position.

This action allows the Action Target component.
