A Face Geometry Object.

A Face is used by the Mesh Game Object. A Mesh consists of one, or more, faces that are used to render the Mesh Game Objects in WebGL.

A Face consists of 3 Vertex instances, for the 3 corners of the face and methods to help you modify and test them.

Constructor:

new Face(vertex1, vertex2, vertex3)

Parameters:

name type description
vertex1 Phaser.Geom.Mesh.Vertex

The first vertex of the Face.

vertex2 Phaser.Geom.Mesh.Vertex

The second vertex of the Face.

vertex3 Phaser.Geom.Mesh.Vertex

The third vertex of the Face.

Focus

Description:

Set the alpha value of this Face.

Each vertex is given the same value. If you need to adjust the alpha on a per-vertex basis then use the Vertex.alpha property instead.

When getting the alpha of this Face, it will return an average of the alpha component of all three vertices.

Methods

contains(x, y, [calcMatrix])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Checks if the given coordinates are within this Face.

You can optionally provide a transform matrix. If given, the Face vertices will be transformed first, before being checked against the coordinates.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
x number

The horizontal position to check.

y number

The vertical position to check.

calcMatrix Phaser.GameObjects.Components.TransformMatrix <optional>

Optional transform matrix to apply to the vertices before comparison.

Returns:
Description:

true if the coordinates lay within this Face, otherwise false.

Type:
  • boolean

getInCenter([local])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Calculates and returns the in-center position of this Face.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
local boolean <optional> true

Return the in center from the un-transformed vertex positions (true), or transformed? (false)

Returns:
Description:

A Vector2 containing the in center position of this Face.

isCounterClockwise(z)
Focus
Focus

Description:

Checks if the vertices in this Face are orientated counter-clockwise, or not.

It checks the transformed position of the vertices, not the local one.

Parameters:

name type description
z number

The z-axis value to test against. Typically the Mesh.modelPosition.z.

Returns:
Description:

true if the vertices in this Face run counter-clockwise, otherwise false.

isInView(camera, hideCCW, z, alpha, a, b, c, d, e, f, roundPixels)
Focus
Focus

Description:

Checks if this Face is within the view of the given Camera.

This method is called in the MeshWebGLRenderer function. It performs the following tasks:

First, the Vertex.update method is called on each of the vertices. This populates them with the new translated values, updating their tx, ty and ta properties.

Then it tests to see if this face is visible due to the alpha values, if not, it returns.

After this, if hideCCW is set, it calls isCounterClockwise and returns if not.

Finally, it will update the Face.bounds based on the newly translated vertex values and return the results of an intersection test between the bounds and the camera world view rectangle.

Parameters:

name type description
camera Phaser.Cameras.Scene2D.Camera

The Camera to check against.

hideCCW boolean

Test the counter-clockwise orientation of the verts?

z number

The Cameras z position, used in the CCW test.

alpha number

The alpha of the parent object.

a number

The parent transform matrix data a component.

b number

The parent transform matrix data b component.

c number

The parent transform matrix data c component.

d number

The parent transform matrix data d component.

e number

The parent transform matrix data e component.

f number

The parent transform matrix data f component.

roundPixels boolean

Round the vertex position or not?

Returns:
Description:

true if this Face can be seen by the Camera.

translate(x, [y])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Translates the vertices of this Face by the given amounts.

Returns:
Description:
